Let's be honest...Malik Quit

[Ezzard Charles]

He was using the opportunity to take a breather. They were already going to count it against him as a knockdown anyway.

that's a quitter's mentality....

"let me get some rest"

always looking for a way out of a tough situation....

eventually.... "no mas"

[Sparked_26]

He must have been slightly out of it because he didn't look like he picked the count up at all till about 8.

Weird one.

I wouldn't accuse him of quitting though. No way. He just seems like a laid back character and was magnanimous in defeat. From his end I would have expected him to be devastated by the defeat because he was well in the fight and his length and jab should have been able to get the job done.

Maybe that lack of 'devil' is why he's not fought at a higher level.

[Earl-Hickey]

His mannerisms after the fight suggest to me he was glad to go home

In that situation you're supposed to take time to gather yourself and clear your head.

How was he supposed to know that Frank Warren paid off the ref?

The full 10 count though? (or 9.5)

Watching it again you can see one of Scott's team talking to him while he was down. I wouldn't be shocked to learn that his cornerman was telling him to take the full count since it was so close to the end of the round.

He got up at 9.

But for the sake of argument: even if he was up at 9.5 that still means he beat the count.

[Ezzard Charles]

if you're hurt.... fine.... but when you've been barely touched.... smh

[Ezzard Charles]

promised him a rematch.
