I haven't seen the fight, but Buddy is known for looking for a reason to throw the towel in. That said, there's times to save a fighter, there's times where they need more rounds to see if they can turn the tide.

Imagine if Buddy McGirt was the trainer for Joe Frazier, Ray Leonard, Rocky Marciano, George Foreman, Carmen Basilio, or even Muhammad Ali...those guys fought through adversity all the time!
