Tony Weeks: "Mike did not want to continue"

[SplitSecond]

when the ref asked him if he wanted to quit, alvarado took a long moment to think about it, and out came "no" in a defeated, and almost whispering tone

he quit, and he was all there

but im not the type that makes a big deal of this sort of stuff, esspecially when a guy is taking the sort of beating alvarado was taking

[LeG00N]

This fight proves that Mexicans are quitters jus like any other race of boxers

Alvarado isn't Mexican... nationalistically or culturally

[paulf]

Eh, the fight was over. I mean, it's not like he quit because he had a little cut or he sprained his ankle. He got up from those knockdowns and tried to make it happen.

Hold nothin against Mike, Provodnikov just made him his *****.

When Weeks didn't stop the fight and refused to let Alvarado's corner stop the fight and then asked Alvarado if he could continue I'd have responded "****, if you won't save me and won't let my corner save me then I'd be a fool to go back out".

[Augustane]

All the respect to Mike. He fought like a warrior. Nobody had to endure any more of that.

[MindBat]

Ruslan did to Mike what he almost did to Bradley. Took him into deep waters and drowned him.

Props to Mike, though, for getting in there with a Great White Shark.

[Foreign Soil]

Which is a shame, because Alvarado has the heart of a lion and was taking terrible punishment.

The people who call boxers quitters are always people who have never had the courage to fight in a ring.

I wouldn't worry about it. Since boxing has become less popular, there's less jackasses around to rake quitters over the coals. Atleast that's an improvement over the days of idiot casual fans.

[Zangief]

Tony Weekes has a ******** problem.

No shame in quitting or stopping the fight, you have to know when to call it quit. Provo is a relentless punch who had Bradley down on his face many times at 147.

It's just nice to see a Margarito type of fighter/fights sometimes. A fighter who just keeps on coming even though they might be down on the cards.
