He would have been KO'd within the round. It is a shame he didn't keep going, but he knew it was over. It was like when Morales quit against Pac. It was all over.
No. Morales was acknowledging that his career was basically over after he had already proven himself. Monroe quit in his first shot at the big-time. That is literally the worst thing you can do.
That's fair. He did beat Vera, though. GGG punches hard as hell. I think Monroe understood that the "rounds off" in 3-5 thing was over. He was done in Round 6 one way or the other. Look, I would have been thrilled to see another highlight KO, but it was over.
It isn't the quitting, it's the dishonesty that gets me. Just stay down, or get up and quit. Don't try to pull a Malik Scott.
