He was then sliced and diced like an Easter Ham. Onn the other hand, you would have to shoot a guy like Micky Ward or Katsidis before they quit.

Oscar did not seem to want to go back out there last night and I can't much blame him based on the beat down he was getting. Still, quitting on the stool is not a great thing for one's legacy.

What do you think?
He should have never been allowed out of corner in the later rounds with Delvin Rodriquez either.His corner failed him badly imo.

Some fighters are pushed to the point when all they have left in pride & instinct.Corners need to take control,put personal feelings aside and look out for a guys courage getting the better of their judgment.I never have liked calling fighters quitters....Shite,I do not know what goes through their mind.Its all individual and i think it happens in most cases on spur of the moment.I remember big rough & tough Yori boy Campas who has stood in and battled until he fell over or just took a hammering for 10 or 12 rounds......and then in other fights,Carr,Vargas and Santos, he just called it a night,remained seated or turned his back.

But I'll always be thankful to him lol for making touch,feely Tony Ayala do the exact same thing

I just think DLH knew it was the end,he could do nothing and was getting pelayed,unraveling round by round and made a wise move.
