Did Joe want to continue? Honestly, I thought he quit on the stool. I know he was fairly unresponsive on the stool and rested there for a bit afterwards.

That might have been how things were in 1940 but fighter safety is at a premium now, if a fighter doesn't want to continue, he shouldn't be pressured to do so. And he definitely shouldn't be chided for it, especially since the fight up to the stoppage was a very good one. Duran is one of the most respected fighters of all time, and he said no more. I would much rather see Freitas - Corrales and see a fighter quit then watch something like Byrd - Williamson or Castillo - Reyes where neither fighter even puts themself in the position to think about whether or not to carry on.
