Did Geale quit?

[Weltschmerz]

what the fcuk. what fight were you watching? Cotto was beating him from pillar to post.

He wasn't at all. It was a tactical affair until Geale quit. Seems like a rigged match for sure, as others hint in this thread.

I dunno about you guys backing him quitting. If you're outclassed then have more heart then your opponent. Every time I get in the ring my mindset is when the fight is ended my arm will be raised or I'll be sleeping. That's how you need to go into a fight, especially a title fight. Anything else is a waste of time.

I don't think Geale took a dive as such.

But I do believe he could have carried on.

I actually think it is similar to the GGG fight in as much that he knew he was an underdog and was getting paid the same money win / lose.

Geale took no dive -- he was punched hard...

... But he simply quit...

He decided he did not wish to continue...which is essentially quitting, yes.

He quit. Without question.

He got to his feet, looked relatively composed and solid and told the ref he didn't want to continue.

Against Golovkin his legs were gone and he was unsteady so fair enough, but this time he just quit.

He definitely quit. The better question is "Do you think it makes him a coward?"

I say no.

I say no.

It makes him a coward in the sense that he thought only of his paycheck, and cheated fans for a decent fight.

[The Big Dunn]

I thought Gaele made a smart decision. His body was clearly weak, he was absorbing punishment and he couldn't do anything to stop Cotto from doing more damage.

[just the facts]

Many experts were saying today on the radio that they heard rumors of Cotto paying Geale to take a dive and quit at the first credible chance. I don't know how true the sources are but I believe it.

Jesus H Christ are you really this ****** or are you making up shyte that fits you agenda, AGAIN.
