    it wasn't weird that freitas quit against juan diaz because he was starting to feel the pressure, but it was weird that he celebrated that loss in the ring aferwards like he won the world title.

    Andrew "Six Heads" Lewis quit against Denny Dalton because he need to take a ****.

    "Lewis was ahead on all cards but retired from the fight because of an urgent need to use the restroom. Lewis blamed his stomach discomfort on a pre-fight milkshake."

    It wasn't over the cut.


    Imagine the cut didn't exist.

    Nate Campbell had blood BEHIND THE EYE. Meaning he had damaged his eye. If he would of continued he could of suffered perm vision loss in that eye.

    On top of that, the fight was over at that point. The dr was going to stop it either way.

    1st that was not a minor head butt

    2nd the fight wasn't stopped over the cut

    3rd it was stopped because of bleeding behind the eye


    A vitreous hemorrhage occurs when retinal blood vessels rupture and bleed into the vitreous humor. These hemorrhages result from leakage from abnormal, weak blood vessels and are associated with diabetic retinopathy, trauma and other factors. The immediate consequence of a vitreous hemorrhage is a reduction in the amount of light that can pass through the normally clear vitreous humor to the retina. The effects of a hemorrhage can be limited to a few dark spots in vision or, in the case of a severe vitreous hemorrhage, can result in completely obscured vision. Depending on the severity of the vitreous hemorrhage, it may take several months or significantly longer for the body to reabsorb the blood and for the patient to regain vision. In addition to obstructing the patient's vision, a vitreous hemorrhage often prevents physicians from seeing into the back of the eye to diagnose or treat the cause of the hemorrhage. If extensive or repeated bleeding occurs, fibrous tissue or scarring can form on the retina, which can lead to a detachment of the retina and permanent vision loss or blindness.

    With the recent fighters that have quit there are double standards with Cotto. They say Cotto was a quitter against Margarito for taking two knees and had nothing left in him, Yet Witter hurt his elbow so he gets a pass. Or with Victor Ortiz as well.

    Cotto sucks and is past his prime for fighting and struggling from the 3rd round with a nasty cut above his eye against a tough opponent yet Nate Campbell was smart for saving his eye. If it was Cotto he would have been shitted on.
