Why don't fighters take a knee more often?

They will never take a knee, thats why they boxers not MMA fighters. *****es tap out!!!!

 

He is stupid. He thought that he will provoke him, he wasn't hurt at all. Very limited boxer, lost in bad style.

 

it's that pride ****ing with them....

 

I agree in general terms, most boxers would be well-served to embrace the strategy and ignore the stupid taboo around it - but in this particular case I don't know that a knee would have been of much aid to Korobov. He was pretty much done after that right hook.

 

When you are getting hit in the head you don't have the luxury of thinking straight, usually. Besides, only a p uss y kneels down voluntarily in front of his opponent

 

Calzaghe knew how to take a knee the instant he got tagged hard.

I think its something fighters should train for until it's instinct to do so.

 

Miguel Cotto is a master at this. He did it against Manny and Marg.

 

Well, neither is an example of taking a knee benefiting someone.

 

Easily the smartest thing boxers don't do.

 

You frown on knees, kirk?

 

Because they will be ridiculed for years to come ESB. Kneeguel Cotto etc.

 

Shouldn't be allowed to take a knee. Its basically saying you quit.

 

Actually in no way shape or form does it say that. It says the opposite, actually. It says you want to preserve yourself for a few seconds to give yourself a shot to come back and win. If someone wants to quit, they just ...you know...quit.
