I watched the Last 3 rounds of Rubio fight. Man, Kelly showed Patience in those rounds, and RUbio was taking some shots. Rubio got knocked into the Ropes so many times! The Ropes saved 7-8 Knockdowns!
If the last round hadn't ended so close to his corner he might not have made it back. He knew Kelly wouldn't carry him another round and decided to stay put on that stool. :yep
His corner was urging him to go out and not give up. I guess if you aren't the one being beaten it's easier.
