Protect yourself at all times

[Von Milash]

Why do guys not protect themselves after they've taken a knee? It's stupid to assume that just because you have that you won't get hit.

for you kids out there, cover up even when taking a knee.

that is all.

[Lance Uppercut]

Usually a fighter is not in the best of shape and do not have all of their wits about them when they take a knee. And its not like anybody actually trains on how to take a knee.

as lance said alot of the time you take a knee because youve been caught and your senses are not all there, and also its with the rules of the game that you cant hit a man when his down, so id guess alot of the fighters just expect the ref to protect them or punish the other fighter if need be

I disagree i think most of the time its just natural human instinct because your body can't take no more so it basically gives out unless its very early in a fight.........

Your brain is looking for the easiest way out which is taking a knee its pretty obvious at that time Miguel Cotto didn't have his wits about him nor did he have any energy left........

And that showed on the 2nd knockdown when he went down again Antonio Margarito didn't even land a punch Miguel Cotto's body basically gave out Miguel Cotto put everything into the fight and if he would of gave anymore he would of been seriously injured in my opinion.
