Re: What are your feelings about a fighter who quits on the stool?
I think Oscar wanted to preserve whats left of his boxing career (I think he should absolutely retire) and the publics high reguard for him as a fighter. I think he feels he is still an elite fighter at the top of the mountain. The fact is he is not. Not anymore. He knew he has Millions of viewers witnessing what was happening, and as an Oscar fan because of what he has done for boxing I honesly didnt want to see him bloody on the canvas. He was beaten badly enough. He is a businessman now and he is always thinking like one. His quitting was last minute damage control in his mind I believe.
But usually I dont like when a fighter quits on his stool. I mean Tyson for example was not badly hurt when he quit, but he quit boxing all together so I guess he stayed true to his retirement.
