Comments Thread For: Alvarado: I'm No Quitter, Wasn't Worth The Heath Risk

[TLC8]

Exactly How Hagler, Chavez Sr Fought; They Stole Your Heart & Made U Quit

Provo is no joke. He gave the newly crowned 'champion' Bradley the beatdown of his life, and got screwed out of a decision. He came back in his next fight, and took another newly crowned 'champion' Alvarado, out to deep water, then drowned him. NEXT. Just a beautiful display of having more WILL than the other guy, just wanting it more. No slam to Alvarado, but Boxing is finding out Alvarado and soon to find out, Rios, are B-level fighters that beat nobody but each other... their claim to fame. Aside from one another, they beat nobody. UNLIKE Provo who comes from obscurity, was considered Bradley's safest option, absolutely took Bradley to within an inch of his life with a nasty beatdown included a concussion for which Bradley talked about for more than a month. Alvarado got the same recipe last night. Rios is about to get the same thing from Pacquiao. Then you can take Rios and Alvarado, and align them up with all the other B & C-level fighters to beat up on.

Men are not bulldogs, bulldogs don't have a mind to think about their health for another day, they fight according to their breeding

however

RUSLAN the GREAT has a mind more like a bulldog

Why do you watch boxing ?

Do you watch boxing to see one hit another or see how purtty they bounce around in the ring, dipping dodging hit and not get hit not really breaking ones will just out pointing them ?

Do you watch boxing to see who's best?

Do you watch boxing to see one break anothers WILL and KNOCK HIM OUT ?

I watch boxing to see fights go like last NITE, I love the BULLDOGS in the ring break the pretty boys down and dismantle their hearts !

Alvarado was no pretty boy and game as they come and RUSLAN WAS RIGHT, this was not about being technical or pretty its about who's WILL would be standing at the end !!!!

RUSLAN was right !!!! HE MADE the GREAT ALVARADO NOT WANT TO FIGHT

he is over retired man for you health

Scared? Now thats disrespectful. It takes tremendous courage to step through the ropes. He fought toe to toe with Rios and Prov.

When he was moving he was trying to compose homself because provs shots were hurting him. Thats called thinking. Not moving would of been ****** and he wouldnt of lasted as long.

Nothing wrong with being scared, it is a human feeling that we all have, even when we have courage. We don't know how he felt, I feel he was scared because even in round 3 or 4 he started moving like Amir Khan before getting seriously hurt.

Nah. He was trying to move and box.

He wasnt scared.

For those of you so called boxing fans who is saying that he quit, you are a bunch of idiots. Did you not see the guy after that round? He had no idea where he was, he was basically out on his feet, stumbled to his corner and he was totally incoherent. He's been fighting on instinct the last two rounds before that and you want him to go back out and die. And the ****** referee should have just stopped the fight as soon as he looked into Mike's eyes rather than asking the ****** question. He needs to fire his corner asap too for trying to get him back out there and put his health at risk. Corners are there to protect and his corner failed him last night. And for those idiots comparing it to Ortiz and Duran, it's not the same. Those guys were coherent, on their feet and cognizant of what was going on. Mike had no idea where he was after that brutal 10th round. Think like humans first rather than animals. If he went out there and die, you idiots will be the same that would say the fight should have been stopped. SMH.

I'm assuming you missed the part of last night's telecast where Provodnikov stated that he went back and watched the fight and felt that Bradley deserved the decision.

When Mike was sticking and moving Ruslan wasn't as eager to fight and his punch output dipped significantly. When Mike got foolish and started fighting close range Ruslan was reinvigorated. So instead of Mike winning and making even more money for his next fight he let this man take his money. It'll be a hard climb back but if he's not going to fight with intelligence it's best for him to retire after taking the punishment that he did. This is a lesson he shoulda learned after the first Rios fight.

[TheMexHurricane]

This shouldn't be an issue because Alvarado's corner wanted to stop the fight but the idiot ref refused to let them and instead asked Mike if he could continue. You gotta wonder about this when it's an HBO fight.

[lutenco]

MIKE is a MAN,who believes the contrary is a quitter himself!!!
