Are we too harsh on "quitters" in boxing?

[!! Shawn]

I watched the fight back a few hours ago, he did seem extremely tentative after the first/second round. weird look on his face. no longer relaxed and not planted.

From then onwards i'm sure i only saw him throw one significant left hand until the end of the fight.

Im fairly sure he hurt it hitting Lomas elbow when throwing to the body.

If you watch mid way though there is a point where he considering throwing the shot again, then stops halfway through and abandons the punch after that.

I don't see it as a big deal. When it comes to measuring them against other greats, it goes against them but as human beings I cannot say ****.

There health is more important than the fruits of victory. Their health is more important than the pride that comes with victory.

It really depends on how.

Rigo quit simply because he knew he couldn’t win. I think the criticism is deserved.

Brook quit v Spence because he had another orbital bone injury and had been told a few months earlier that particular injury can blind you after GGG give him the same injury. So I understand that.

I agree with this
