how hurt was cintron really??

The doctors told him to stay down. I just think it's absurd to think that a professional fighter, a former world champion, and one who had the balls to beat arguably the hottest young rising star in the weight class last time out would dive out of the ring and fake an injury in order to get out of a fight most of us thought he was winning.

You're right, it is absurd! The doctors told him to stay down. I'm sure no other fighter would have tried to get up after being winded, but then catching their breath and realizing they were OK to fight.

Can anybody here think of a fighter who wouldn't have just stayed there motionless while the doctors rolled them over, put a neck brace on them, and strapped them onto a stretcher, even though they wanted to continue?

Hmmm, I think I can come up with some who I think would've angrily shoved the doctors away, and done their best to get back in the ring. Let's make a list. I'll start it:

1. Ann Wolfe

Paul Wallace, the doctor from the CIntron Williams fight.

"I did say I wanted the fight stopped because the fighter twice said he could not continue," Dr. Paul Wallace told The Times. "He was asked, 'Can you continue?' and he said 'no.' Twice. If he had mentioned to me something like, 'Give me a moment ... ,' I understand; these are warriors. Any hint that he still wanted to participate we would've given that to him. We would have got him up and given him a second evaluation."
