Hmm this is interesting. No broken bones and he clearly wasnt thumbed when he stopped fighting. Not saying hes not a tough hombre b/c he is but I'm surprised that it appears he indeed quit from the swelling. I guess he's no Denis Lebedev.

Ok first off you people need to understand that thumbless gloves aren't literally thumbless, the thumb is sowed on so u can't move it around but u can still catch someone with the thumb. And I'm not making the case that a thumb went in his eye, maybe the actually fist part of the glove did, the real issue here is not the ref or the glove but the fact that injuries sometimes happen but u gotta have a clear head and know that in that situation u take a knee to give urself time to recover NOT turn your effin back and force the ref to stop the fight

It wasn't a thumb!
Lara's punches injured his eye and he simply could not continue. That is it!
There is no shame in that! He put on a great show in a crowd pleasing fight, against a great boxer, and it was close until the end. That is all that can be asked of him.
But he should not say if it wasn't for the thumb he would have won. I've seen the replay many times, no thumb, just crisp shots.
He needs to take the time to heal, get a soft comeback fight and ask for a rematch against Lara.Last edited by JJRod; 06-12-2013, 12:33 PM.

He quit after he got nailed in the left eye by a perfect straight shot right on the eye. No thumb. All glove. The swelling I'm sure was awful and he likely couldnt see out of the eye. He mistook the stinging sensation for a broken bone most likely.
