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

[Radical]

He quit.....I don't see anything wrong with quitting if you've given it your all...I don't get why people get offended when you say someone who clearly quit, quit.

Mike quit, doesn't mean he didn't show a great deal of heart that night.

his corner quit for him but was not allowed to do it by the ref, which is the ridiculous.

I'm sure if Tony Weekes was refereeing every fight many more fighters would be considered "quitters"

Any poster here couldn't handle a tenth of the punishment mike took last night. Ridiculous to call him a quitter. In retrospect this just makes Tim Bradley look even better.

Bradley was lucky to get out of that fight with a win, he was going out in the 12th and if the early knock down was called correctly he wouldn't have won on the scorecards either. Yeah he was tough for making it through the fight and showed his heart but Provodnikov did the real damage in that fight and made Bradley fight the way he wanted. Hopefully after last night people will realize it wasn't Bradley trying to be macho it was Provodnikov forcing him off his game plan because he did the same thing to Alvarado.

There aint nothing wrong with quitting if you know you have nothing left to give and risk permenent damage. Hey Cotto quit when he fuaght Pacman, he was catching an ass wopping and about to get his ass knock out.

If the ref asks you do you want to continue and you say no thats quitting, and if its not quitting then what is it called? I think no less of mike hes still a warrior in my eyes BUT HE DID QUIT. If this was ortiz he would be getting torn a new azzhole right now

Mike never said anything, he didn't say no but he sat on his stool and didn't want to continue by not responding, I don't consider it quitting. Mike gave it his all but he was going to get KO'd before the final bell. You could see it, Ruslan imposed his will on Mike and broke him. He fulfilled Ivan Drago's prophecy in this fight.

The fight was over, I hold nothing against him. He didn't get a little cut or something, he got his face beat in for ten rounds and got up from two knockdowns, still trying to make it happen. Just wasn't his night.

Roll on Rios-Alvarado III

"His corner should have stopped the fight last night."

they wanted to, they were the ones stating Alvarado had nothing left

[DannYankee]

Every time Tony Weeks said are you ok? What i heard was FINISH HIM!. I mean he was right not to prematurely stop it but i am pretty sure Alvarado was hoping he did to save him the embarrassment he made him go through of quitting

Agreed, Mike quit, but I don't blame him cause he was getting busted up

[Albeerto]

Victor quits when he still has something left. I don't knock him for not continuing versus Lopez, but what he did with Floyd and Maidana was something else.

If you stop in the corner, I don't really knock you. You're man finishing out the rd he started, and deciding its best not to go out for another. But if you get up past a standing 8 and say "welp this is enough for me" I can't get down with that

Sure and i bet u were one of the guys bashing delahoya too
After the pac fight.... One of the reasons i havent posted in here for months. Most of u are either ignorant or just full of hatred!!!!!!

Corner could've thrown a towel into the ring
