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

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.

I don't know if it's the jaw that's kept him out of action for that long, I think he prefers acting and such. But no boxing > no acting, so he'll have to do his part. At least Molina doesn't hit hard, however he keeps coming.

Depends on the audience....Cotto quit to Mexicans, Angulo quit to Puertoricans..Alvarado has no beef with any nationality so I guess its okay.

The DeLaHoya effect.

Fixed* Yes, you are correct.

STFU, ****.

Ortiz and Alvarado both quit, and they both gave us a good show, so who the fu.ck cares that they quit. Nothing wrong with quitting if you're done.

lol ok his eye had a lump under it but hes sittin there smiling too he quit while happy. mike was dazed and out of it

[Enzo Mc is SHIT]

Alvarado has more than earned the right to do this. If his health was truly his top priority he wouldn't have taken 10 rounds of that before quitting.

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.

LMAO!

What a dumb mother****er you are. GBP vs Top Rank wasn't even the thing back then that you silly fanboys have turned it into now, so there would be no reason to take against Ortiz because of that. If anything, most people wanted him to emerge as the superstar they were grooming him to be.

I actually defended Vic at the time - I have more issues with Devon Alexander faking a quit than someone simply being honest and saying they didn't have anything more that night.

The reason Vic caught extra shiet was because he was talking about not deserving any punishment and about quitting the sport - at the first sign of adversity. Whereas Alvarado has shown his grit many times. If you have two fighters - one fighter who keeps pulling stunts and the other one who keeps coming back from adversity, the latter will always have more goodwill around him.

When it comes down to it, I don't like criticising people at all for quitting (unless it's a fake quit like Devon against Bradley).

However, to try to pretend this is all some big TR vs GBP conspiracy.....**** outta here, kid. You level the same shiet at me personally and it's as laughably ****** then.

Its ****** how biased the fans are here on boxing scene!!! If this was Victor Ortiz you guys would be ripping him a new one

i agree i mean it was a brutal beat down so im not faulting alvarado but ortiz was getting beat down vs maidana and his jaw was broke in a couple places vs lopez. dont understand how its ok for alvarado to look out for his health but ortiz cant. he quit its nothing wrong with it but he did quit

[NachoMan]

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.

Nobody's really judging him here, but he was asked if he wanted to continue, and he said no. By definition that is quitting. He gave his best though, so reasonable people understand. As far as this fight making Bradley look any better, I wouldn't say so. Bradley was on ***** street for half that fight and was saved by the bell at the end.

I have probably seen more than 1000 boxing fights in my life and there has been only one important fight where a guy stopped, quit or abandoned without any apparent reason (not even receiving one sole brutal punch) and yes you guessed if you thoight Roberto Duran facing for second time S.R. Leonard. That would be for me the one and only time that I would use the term quitter since threre was no apparent reason or need to do it. When a fighter gives all and either at his corner or in the canvas or even on his feet after receiving lots of punishment decides to concede defeat shouldn't be called a quitter. There is at this moment a boxer named Francisco Leal, who is in comma after his defeat against Raul Hirales last night in Mexico. It is so sad to see that happening since the life of a boxer is so fragile and that man is just like us a human being trying to make an honest living risking his health and life. So stop all that non-sense of "quitters" and other garbage that does not make boxing better.

[The Gambler1981]

Alvarado was clearly done so there wasn't much reason to go on, he was losing one way or the other.

You can call him that if you want because that is what he did but it really isn't even that big a deal because if you are done you are done holding out will only make it worse.
