His corner left him out to dry. It was crap. From what I could hear, it sounded like Mike said he wanted to continue but his corner kept sounding scared and saying they want to stop it. Then Mike finally gave in and let Weeks stop it.
Tony Weeks: "Mike did not want to continue"

He quit, yes. However he's still an incredibly strong willed warrior in my opinion.
He tried his best, he tried to come back. It wasn't enough and he was just going to get pasted until getting TKO'd later. He made the correct decision.Comment

You can't be serious man, you cannot be serious!He quit before he got in the ring a month to sign the contract??...during the face off he wouldnt stare ruslan down......during the weigh in he shook ruslans hand and looked away...him and his corner were scared and were expecting ruslan to hurt him so bad that he might not be the same fighter afterwards......good luck getting exciting fights once you quit on the bench one more round the great fighters know how to dig deep thats what bradley did to get passed ruslan alvarado didnt have the will to win he quit on the bench.Comment

Mike was not winning on realistic scorecards. He may have had it 4-3 by the 7th, but that is it. There were close rounds, but Prod buzzed him and won a few. Mike won 2 clear rounds.
He lost the one before the TKO by a 10-8 in my book too.Comment

I found the weigh in interesting. Twice Prod tried to initiate a stare down by split second looking direct at Alvarado on separate occasions. Alvarado didn't seem to want to do a stare down but both were kinda nice to each other.He quit before he got in the ring a month to sign the contract??...during the face off he wouldnt stare ruslan down......during the weigh in he shook ruslans hand and looked away...him and his corner were scared and were expecting ruslan to hurt him so bad that he might not be the same fighter afterwards......good luck getting exciting fights once you quit on the bench one more round the great fighters know how to dig deep thats what bradley did to get passed ruslan alvarado didnt have the will to win he quit on the bench.
I found it very unusual, maybe he wasn't feeling well, but a stare down is much more than people think. A fighter can gain confidence or lose it, because the mental game is a lot to how they approach things. You hear fighters say I knew I had him at weigh ins etc... all the time. Body language is natural and I know who is scared of me and not when I am in a pissed mood.Comment
