The "no contest" was because Gomez used cocaine. Gomez won the first fight easily and it was made a no contest afterwards....

 

Gomez was a mandatory defense so there goes that argument.

I know being rational isn't encouraged on here, as opposed to joining one highly partisan camp and insulting people in others, but think about it like this.

I've read several treads saying Jeff Lacys' decline as a fighter came as a result of his shoulder injury. He toughed it out, finished the fight, and has been a shell of a fighter ever since (Or Calzaghe caused it, depending on who's posting). Perhaps Vitali sensed his injury was becoming too severe and decided to back out. He was able to rebuild his career and get back to the top of his division because of this decision. Would he have been better off ending the fight and ruining himself? Maybe Lacy would have got a lot of critisism for quitting in that fight, but if he hadn't ruined his shoulder he could have come back from it. Who has had the more successful career, post injury?

I'd also like to say I don't think any keyboard warrior has the right to knock a guy for quitting with a serious injury when the worst injury they're ever likely to get is a particularily nasty self inflicted, one handed groin strain.

 

do you consider Liston a quitter for quitting for Clay?

do you consider Ali a quitter for quitting against Holmes?

Fools a tool.

 

They were older and past prime...Vitalis ***** ass was in his prime when he quit...

 

The Kellerman avatar is hilarious.

It's not simply that a torn rotator cuff is painful, but that it's not something you BOX THROUGH. You can seriously **** your shoulder up. That could have been his career. It would have been cool if he'd jabbed for another three rounds, but a torn rotator cuff is a severe injury, and after the Lewis fight we all know what kind of man Vitali is. Calling him a quitter is ****ing absurd.

 

Yep.

In the harsh eyes of ESB where Tszyu and Duran are considered 'quitters', then yep, Vitaly is a quitter.

In the real world, only one person knows when they've had enough and can't go on. And for some reason on ESB, it's far better to take a punch and lie down for 10, when there's no doubt you could get up - than to fight to a standstill, and stay on your stool.

Anyway, in ESBland, Vitaly is a quitter.

I find it funny though, that the majority of the guys saying Vitaly did the right thing to quit here because the injury could have threatened his career, are also the same guys that don't think the doctor should have stopped the fight against Lewis. Forget he could have lost his eye, but hey, protect that shoulder. Much more important than having a glass eye.
