Too much pride, like Khan in the Garcia fight. Guys try to get up quick and act like they just slipped instead of giving themselves a few precious seconds to recover as much as possible before standing (or trying to stand). Berto can complain about not getting an 8 count but he looked out on his stool right after the ref ended it, let alone out on his feet.
Props to Soto-Karass and his adorable wife lololol...and props to Showtime for putting together a great card.
Fighters need to do this.... like Juan Ma 2 gainst Cruz. He got up, walked and wobble and just gave the ref a reason to stop it.
If you don't have your legs, and even if you do, take a knee, collect yourself and then get up
