Um...I happen to know Spanish. He did say that the fight was not over and followed it up with 'the fight starts now.' Freitas was shaking his head no. Immediately after, they changed cameras to Diaz' corner and in that time, the referee asked Freitas' corner if they were going to continue I guess by that time, it was agreed that Freitas would not continue. Reports go that while Freitas was the one that did not want to go on, it was his trainer who admitted that he wanted to stop the fight just to save Freitas from any immediate public scrutiny.
I would have to see it again to be 100% sure. But that is not how I remember it. I remember the corner saying "Esta pelea se acabo ya" and Popo nodding yes. Maybe he said something before that I missed but the overall impression I got is that they all new Freitas would not survive another round and it made no sense sending him out again.

I even remember arguing at the TV(I must have looked silly LOL) saying "thats not what he is saying" to the translator. But I guess if I am the only one who noticed it I might be wrong. I will try to see it again if they repeat it.
