Is Brook a "quitter?"

[smashup]

That's sort of what im thinking..
If the strength of the titanium plate somehow forced or concentrated the stress and impact of Spences punches over to the other side of Brooks face?

The odds of that injury happening twice must be massive and I've never known it happen before?

Strange

Than I am not sure how long they have been using Titanium rebuilds, particularly for an active boxer. Maybe if they do the other one he becomes like Robobrook and f**ks the other guys hand up

Ricky Burns needed Titanium for his jaw after the Beltran fight

I have no idea if that's how it works to be honest but it would seemingly do little to lessen or redirect the concussive impact of a punch? I don't think Abraham started having reoccurring breaks on the other side of his face or Barrera with a titanium plate in his skull after brain surgery post Junior Jones rematch.

Brook in his last two fights showed how tough he was. He can take a punch, get hurt, then keep on throwing. He is tough but isn't stupid. I've seen way too many of these tough fighters that are just dumb.

When you are getting beat badly and taking a ton of punishment, you don't owe anybody anything by continuing to take punishment just to prove that you won't get KO'd. Brook had lost. He knew that he really didn't have enough to win the fight at that point and it wasn't worth permanently damaging his eye.

Agreed.

When Vicktor Postol stopped the Argentinian Machine, no one complained
about quitting. Same with Collazo against Thurman. Tor Hammer is a quitter.
Brook did not quit in the sense that he did not want to fight any more, He
“quit” because Spence had beaten him into submission by closing an eye that had
already suffered severe damage against GGG. that’s not quitting; that’s just
being smart and trying to save your eyesight.

Cotto surrendered against Margo by taking a knee. No one called him a
quitter. Let’s define “quitter” in the context of boxing and not in the context
of what the dictionary says.

Been away a couple of days and just saw the fight. I'm amazed at how quickly people jump in with the "quitter" label. Brook has proven to be a warrior, and to call someone like that a "quitter" is ignorant. It's the "Roman gladiator" mentality of some. To hell with the guy's health... he took a knee because his eye was damaged and couldn't see... but he's a "quitter" anyway. What B.S.

He did quit, but it is very understandable. What I cannot understand is a) why Brook fought Golovkin 2 weights more than his regular weight and b) why he then fought such a dangerous fighter immediately after having his eye bashed in like that? I think these have been 2 very poor decisions that have likely shortened his career. I just scratch my head trying to make sense of it.

You now have me thinking of Richard from Boardwalk Empire as random as that is.
