It looked like to me that he quit. When he got up from that last knock down and the ref asked him if he was ok it looked like he shook he head like he didnt want to fight anymore! And that cut was nothing compared to the cut Cotto had over his eye!!
Come on mate. The guy just faught like a warrior. Give him a break. The guy was hurt and just manned up and admited it.
Ortiz said he wouldn't go out on his back, that should end the comparisons to Vargas. Sounds like he isn't prepared to go life and death for greatness.
Then they tried to send the Doc over there to "stop it on cuts." :roll: The guy quit and if he continued, he would have been KTFO. That's all there is to it. Maidana was a determined SOB tonight and he deserves his props.
He quit, but he sure wasn't helped by his corner who sounded like they were pushing him to quit. What great advice for a fighter who just got badly hurt in a fight where one punch kept changing everything: we want you to give up.
I heard that. He doesnt sound like he has the heart for boxing. Maybe its just what he said in the moment after losing...
