    Good show, Freddy.

    As far as fighters who are taking a beating and then quit on their stools.... I don't see how I can hold it against them. With all of the deaths, injuries, ect... I don't mind if a fighter realizes when enough is enough. It is their health, their career, and their pride on the line. There is no glory in becoming brain damaged in the ring. Now what DOES bother me is that this decision EVER comes down to the fighter. Any cornerman who doesn't know his fighter well enough to make that decision for him needs to be fired immediately.

    i understand bro, but rubio had no excuse cause he was like that from round 1, and though pavlik was t'ing off on him, nothing was really landing clean and clear in the beginning...rubio just wanted a way out, and there is no pride in that, especially on the night where all your dreams can come true...it's like, everything you've worked so hard for is finally there, and all your gonna do is cover up, take some hard shots and then quit...:-(

    even his corner was arguing with him on going out just 1 more round, they knew he just wanted a way out, and they probably knew rubio wasn't really hurt....
