Will Cotto Be The Same

[JT Rock]

He was hurt and if he didn't take a knee he was going to be KO'd. I believe he knew he was done, but he still took the knee to try and buy some time. For me quitting would've been if he looked at the ref and shook his head or indicated he did not want to continue before his corner entered the ring. If he was quitting, he wouldn't have gotten up, he would've stayed down. However, he was on his feet before the corner stopped it.

Quitting is saying you don't want to continue, getting up knowing you're about to be stopped is not quitting. I don't see it. He was beaten, but he never quit.

I just had my roomate that does not follow boxing at all and isint biased either way, watch the clip asked her what she saw?? her words were after him slumping in the corner the 2nd time after backing the entire length of the ring was he was getting the shit beaten out of him and just Quit..

Thats not the arguement per se, its if the effects of this will resonate negatively toward his career moving forward.. Its if this was a case of mental anguish that will haunt him amidst another ring war

Plenty of boxers have taken knees without quitting though. I don't think anything will change my mind on this, I do not believe he quit. He lost, he was beaten, but he never quit. It's clear to me he was up and ready to get stopped, but his corner entered the ring and stopped it. Rightly so.

I would agree with you on the 1st KD and if that was the end than you make all the sense in the world, but the fact that he went from corner to corner without attempting a punch for 20sec and dropped himself in the corner told me he didnt want anymore.

We will have to agree to disagree on this one
