If you were a boxer in a fight you know you can't possibly win...

Well if Hatton had a better chin he might of ran later in the fight! :think Who Knows? Hatton got a quick death.. Tony Margarito went through the storm and still came forward in the 12th round. Not many men in this world could do that.

Heres a good pic of the Haye-Wlad fight..:good

If you are at the beginning of you career and boxing is everything you have done you have to try it. I mean it is probably you only way to get a decent living you can not just quit. If Im at the end of my career like DLH or Chavez I would ask my trainer to pull me out between rounds. I would not ruin my life after boxing.

 

Ortiz was glad he was sucker punched. best game plan to end the fight?

 

When you go to the gym and you work as a dentist for example. You will take a beating you will see that it's not for you and you will go away. But if you had boxed since you were 7 lets say with amateur career and you are overmatched in a pro fight you can not just quit. It's how you make your living.

 

that's absoluely asinine.

in response to the original post, anything can happen in boxing and i'd count on that by giving it all I have and trying to win the fight as best I could. If I get knocked out or stopped, fine, a part of the sport, but i'm going all out.

 

yes

 

You can say "I'd fight like a badass no matter what!" all you want, but the reality is that it is unpredictable. A lot depends on the opponent. Actually, given the scenario in which you are outmatched, it is entirely up to the oponents' style/strategy/skillset. I think you're a fool if you say you'd stop defending, unless you are the next James Kirkland. You don't know how you'd react at all, and if you think you would, you better have at least sparred at some point.

 

This. I have boxed a tiny bit at my local amateur club and even when you spar someone so much better than you all you feel is adrenaline and pure terror really. When everything you try fails you don't really think logically any more. In that situation all I used to do was focus on defence and counter shots, not by conscious decision but by instinct. Sometimes that would actually work but rarely if the guy was that much better.

 

I like how 80% of people think they could do a Shannon Briggs and get completely ****ed up and keep going.

 

Yeah doesn't really happen. Survival mode is usually what happens. Not Antonio Margarito.

 

after 1 round? and thats all the effort you are gonna put in, no problem calling it a day, just make sure you dont accecpt the pay check you didnt earn

 

I'd get to the end of the 9th, quit on my stool, then cite a torn rotator cuff.
