Tzsyu's trainer said that prior to the last round his eyes were completely unresponsive, and he had no option but to do the right thing and withdraw him, rather than risk permanent damage. Gerald McLellan probably wishes each and every day someone had done the same for him. Frazier is probably gald that someone did the same for him, or is Joe Frazier an 'amateur quitter'
Frankly...your posts above are bollocks.

I saw that fight, and the Michael Watson fight too, he can almost walk properly again now. I like to watch boxing, but I have no desire to see any man beaten into a wheelchair. If the trainer says enough, then enough it is. You should be looking for superior fighters on the night, not rivers of blood.
The biggest balls in world sport belong to fighters, when the bell rings and the bullshit stops that ring is a hell of a lonely place to be. Every man that ever stepped through those ropes has my complete respect.
Tzsyu was clearly a great champion who met his match after a long career. He might not like it now because the guy is not used to losing, but a look at Mclellan or Watson should convince him that his trainer was his best friend on Saturday. Mclellan and Watson both fought a round that they should not have, and look where it got them.
