Why don't more fighter take a knee/standing 8 more often when hurt?

Pride...Vargas after getting dropped by a textbook De la Hoya left bounced off the floor, shoulda waited cos that punch ended the fight.

Yeah pride got in the way of him thinking straight a few times. Fernando's whole style was built on pride, it didnt do him that many favors but got him the fights I suppose. You could get him emotionally involved at the interview prior to weigh in; never say die etc blah bl

You would think if a fighter was relying on a knockout to win cause he is so far behind on points and his corner had him there just for that reason and he was taking flack in the later rounds; they would tell him how it stands and to take a knee or a count this next round, You know order him to,hurt or not, but come out from it going all out as the other bloke comes for him. Catch em coming.
