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

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!!!!!!

I don't even think Oscar got bashed that much for quitting, more for quitting vs a cherrypicked midget. What a way to retire from boxing.

Wow I wished to see this same support for Ortiz when he could not continue against Lopez.

The difference in support is amazing:

Those Rios fights took everything from Alvarado. The kid is all but cooked at this point. He did what he needed to do as a human being. The reality is Provodnikov could have applied significantly greater pressure and punishment and what little Alvarado sustained forced him to submit. He needs to time to heal.

That's cause it takes a lot less to beat the fight out of Vic. And he's a repeat offender, quitting 2x vs major underdogs, trying to get himself DQed vs Floyd, checking out vs Peterson after 4 rounds. He never takes it very hard it seems, always chipper on the mic. His trainer got him away from the mic after Lopez, in embarrassment

He got the same hate in the Maidana fight, which was his first offense, as he got in the Lopez fight.

Alvarado got nothing but love, despite quitting for the same exact reason that Ortiz did in the Maidana fight.

There's no excuses here, Alvarado is getting special treatment from fans because the vast majority of posters on this site are pro-Top Rank and anti-GBP.

I don't see it the same. Ortiz was well ahead, and had probably won 2 minutes of that round, then took a couple of serious punches. As soon as he felt the swelling, he was out. His corner kept asking, Victor, what's wrong? Alvarado was toast, his corner recognized it, so did everyone else. It's amazing he made it out of round 8. And to top it off, that post fight Vic interview. Mike OTOH was devastated.

If Ortiz would've continued vs Lopez, it could've been career ending. He hasn't fought since.

Maidana fight, he quit; but it's similar to what Alvarado did for this fight.

If you have no agenda, it's all the same. Just different treatment.

One quit but is a "warrior". The other one quit but is a disgrace to boxing.

I don't think quitting suddenly when ahead is the same as quitting after prolonged brutal punishment. Again, his post fight attitude didn't help. Now multiply by 3.5, and that's a whole lot of quitting.
