After Watching The Replay, Floyd Still Won "However..."

I remember hearing that. ::

 

You're a retard ...

You are now MY target .....

 

Well if Oscar did quit and Bernard thought so, I tend to think Bernard would rather say he stopped him with a perfectly placed liver shot than saying the guy who just gave him the biggest payday of his career quit.

 

what i don't understand is why nobody accuses Quintana of quitting, or Dorin, but everyone is 100% positive that ODH did. seems ridiculous. i have to wonder why so many find it hard to believe that a perfectly placed liver shot can end a fight. i wonder if those same people have ever been hit with one. and bear in mind, when the shot is placed right, it doesn't matter how hard it is. so don't come back with, "it was a slap."

 

I can see that .. However he stated this right after the fight ..
Just seems like quick thinking and the fact that he publicly stated this without reviewing the fight at all ...
I don't think Bernard made that up . I think it was the truth that he heard DLH make a weird noise and the air come out of him ...

 

No matter how you try to spin it, the shot Gatti hit Dorin with looked way harder than the one Hopkins hit DLH with. The same can be said of Cotto-Quintana. I'm not saying DLH quit but the situations aren't the same. The minute Cotto and Gatti hit their opponent, I don't think anybody doubted how painfull they looked. The shot Hops landed didn't look spectacular at all.

 

Oscar said if he was prepared , he would have been able to take the shot but it caught him at the exact moment he relaxed his midsection muscles.

 

Quintana?

Weren't some people calling him "Quitana" after the fight in which his corner begged him to come out and he refused?

As said before, the reasons why people question it are because it looked soft and Oscar's reaction on the floor.

We've all seen many body punch knockouts (and all of those punches looked like they landed much cleaner). In what fights other than this one have we seen the guy roll around in pain, hitting the canvas, rather than just freeze and barely move?

I'm not saying for sure that he did, I'm Donnybrooking it and I'm on the fence. But I'm just saying why people question it.

It's not just fans who question it, people in boxing who have boxed before have questioned it too.

 

ha, I was talking about Northeast Promotions this morning, and in listing the fighters I knew of, accidentally spelled out Quitana instead of Quintana ::

BTW I am honored that my quote occupies your sig space, Sir Erratic :bears:

 

I think you're being a little harsh. Well, your opinion of someone being "disgraceful" is a little different than others. When I think of a fighter being disgraceful, I think less of their ring intelligence/strategy and more of their effort. Such as, Zab Judah blatantly fouling Floyd Mayweather or Bruce Seldon's "effort" against Mike Tyson.

Oscar fought hard and was competitive with a younger, faster guy, he just made some bad tactical decisions and got tired. This is far from the first time that De La Hoya has made some tactical blunders or got tired.

It was a good quote, but not all of it could fit in the sig space.

 

Seldon-Bowe was even more blatant.
