Lara vs Angulo this weekend

Despite living it, I don't think he really knows what happened.

We saw it, we know he turned his back and quit. I didn't think he was thumbed on the replays, but it was close. It looked more like his orbital bone was probably broken in the sequence based on his reaction.

However, if it was ultimately determined that he was thumbed, does anyone know if this is an appealable situation (everything is, I guess) or if it could have been a no-contest situation or a go-to-the-cards situation or do the thumbless gloves lead to a TKO result no matter what?

 

He wanted out. Quit like a motherfucking dog.

 

I blame Chris Byrd. He must have poisoned Lara's gloves with an inflammation agent. Him and Angulo are buds.

 

Guy scored two knockdowns and was in with a great shot. If only he quit the country as easy as he quit the fight.

 

Thumbed or not, that thing blew up faster then the Hindenburg. Can you imagine getting punched in that? Moron Rannallo would have been ringside, bathing in an orgasmic waterfall of Angulo's blood, when it burst like a fuckin' balloon all over the Showtime crew.

 

Have you heard about these two up and coming young whitey's from Utah?

The telegraph lines are all abuzz about these Fullmer brothers. Say they descended from the Ukraine, and have "Bam", "Biff", "Pow", written all over them.'

Sounds like your cup of tea, and probably a few story lines you can drag into the next century.

Cop a load of this mate. 13 years on.....THIRT-EEEN MUDDAFUCKING YEARS...

When Alfredo "El Perro" Angulo turned his back to the action on Saturday night against Erislandy Lara, he not only conceded defeat to his opponent, but he may have also broken, perhaps, the biggest cardinal rule in boxing-the one about never, ever quitting.

In the UFC, tap outs are as common as knockouts and not seen as anything other than one fighter acknowledging that he is physically at the point of no return.

In boxing, though, working through hideous and potentially life-threatening injuries is part of the sport's mythology.

From Mexican legend "Baby" Arizmendi beating the great Henry Armstrong while gutting through a broken wrist to Archie Moore refusing to have his corner throw in the towel during his thrashing at the hands of Rocky Marciano, boxing has been built on tough guy anecdotes. Fighters are supposed to be cut from a different cloth than mere mortals.

Those that don't adhere to this unwritten code of machismo hear the angry, derisive voices of the fans and media, who still insist on a "two men enter, one man leaves" philosophy when it comes to the boxing ring.

When Victor Ortiz quit in his brutal 2009 back and forth war with Marcos Maidana, he drew immediate criticism. When he said the following to HBO's Max Kellerman in the post-fight interview, he essentially committed career suicide:

"I was hurt. I'm not gonna go out on my back, I'm not gonna lay down for nobody. I'd rather...stop while I'm ahead, that way I can speak well when I'm older...I'm young, but I don't think I deserve to be getting beat up like this. I have a lot of thinking to do."

The young Ortiz, who was 22 at the time, was once considered one of boxing's brightest young prospects. The loss to Maidana, the way he lost, and his post-fight remarks have dogged him ever since. This one particular night will always be the "but" in any discussion regarding his career, no matter what he goes on to accomplish.

Long-reigning heavyweight champ, Vitali Klitschko is still fielding criticism for his own "quit job" thirteen years ago when a torn rotator cuff forced him to hand over his WBO belt to Chris Byrd following the ninth round of a bout he was easily winning.

The stigma of quitting is very real in boxing, especially in the Mexican boxing culture, so it was obvious that Angulo's first move would be to vehemently deny any intention of ever quitting:

"I never quit. I turned to tell (trainer) Virgil (Hunter) that my eye got thumbed twice," Angulo told USA TODAY's Mike Coppinger via text message.


Quit Job in inverted commas. No need for them 13 years ago. Dudes was much more imperative back then.

 

Apparently you are deaf to the concept of context, Irish. Are you offended with the phrase "quit job" being used in the same sentence as the word "Vitali"..........because if you actually click on the link you gave and read the entire article, the author is pretty goddamn sympathetic to the point you have obviously been trying to make for the last "THIRT-EEEN MUDDAFUCKING YEARS."

:dunno:

 

Vitali quit. Buit Angulo Perro El Muderfucking Illegalio did not quit. His body "quit on him"....dass de differens.

 

Thus, we are all victims, one and the same.

Amen!

ray:

 

Come on now.

 

It has been spoken, therefore it shall be.

 

:l2:

 

The latest report from FOX News:

Messicans now more popular in the media then westernized Eastern Europeans.

"We'd build a wall", cries Papa Bear O'Reilly, "but those damn Klitschko's would just hug themselves right through it, and steal our healthcare from hard working and honest citizens."

:will:

 

."Showed no heart vs Purritty"....went the cry. But he didn't quit, and a la Dan Rafael, 99% of people hadn't even seen the fight, being as there was no Dailymotion/Liveleak/Youtube back in the day, and HBO sure as fuck hadn't televised it.

So we've got a guy who did quit, and he's being let off, and we've got a guy who didn't quit, who spent the next 10 years being described as a quitter.

'Murica :bears:

 

This is a big deal guys.

 

Like a turd to a flame called shame!!! :bears:

 

And pain in the rain. :bears:

 

That fucking dog turned on his heel and plain walked away from his man after taking a nothing left to the face. He deserves to wear that collar.

And now it turns out there was no fracture.

We all have so much egg on our faces!

 

:dunno: your feelings are your own. Perhaps as an eminent journalist up there in UHF/Morse Code land you feel that certain sectors of the boxing press have made right morons of themselves. Your decision.

 

Not sure. I don't read about boxing, I watch it.

 

:atu:

Camurica

 

Twitter and a TV is all I need. And fightbeat, of course.

 

I don't really do either, i look at boxrec.

 

Did you know American boxing writers called wald pussy a quitter? Did you????

 

These minority boxers quitting like dogs is a worrying new trend. Well it would be if anbody was worried. And if it was new. ::

See...that Lebedev didn't quit when his eye swolled up like a good old watermelon. He wanted to keep going. No turner away him.

 

I'd take a guy quitting when his face all swollen up after giving his all in a brutal give and take fight over the typical try to survive to the decision, any day of the week

 

You think visible facial damage is the test?
