The reason why Roberto Duran quit

[KananKrus]

Can a boxer really just quit fighting the middle of a round, just because he did not feel right? This is OK? This is acceptable? And boxing fans who felt cheated out of an honest and sporting outcome, from that unusual fight stoppage, is a hypocrite?

Poor Joe Public, a victim of the end result to an irresponsible, and exaggeratedly prolonged holding of excretal function.

But it's Roberto Duran, so there must be a good reason. My point being that a lot of people are such Duran worshippers that they will find a reason, or they will believe anything that he or his corner says. They are totally prepared to explain away or forgive such an action from Duran, but would not be so forgiving for anyone else.

And what is his reason? Who knows. I've heard the stomach cramp theory, but I'm more incline to think that Leonard just got into his head, and knew he was getting beat, and psychologically Duran couldn't deal with it, at that time. My guess is he probably ended up regretting his action.
