You were right the first time. They threw in the towel not to long after the first knock down. They did not throw it in the ring and then attempt to retrieve it. Yes, Leslie did not want the fight to be stopped and she was saying that she was alright (just like most fighters) but the corner felt that it was too much. Even the commentators and referee felt the same thing. It's unfortunate that you would believe otherwise because it belittles Lorissa's victory. It wasn't a close fight so that's why they didn't allow it to go on. No one wants to see anyone get beaten to a pulp whereas they can't defend themselves in the ring. Leslie fought valiantly but towards the end she was getting hit flush with a lot of shots. The hired corner did the right thing. And yes, I know what it says on boxrec but the promoter is going to have it changed on there too.
