Paul showed skill to make khan look a poof
The doctor was a joke of a doctor. What kind of pussy's stop the fight with that little cut?
Looooooooooooooooool ;D ;D ;D
Suck on it haters :lickish:
Roy jones went 4-5 rounds and his eye was dreadful!!
Everytime in Manchester in an amir khan fight it ends early when it's no need.
Khans team paid the right people to do the Job
Thanks for ruining the fight for those of us in the U.S. :)
Protected fighter, GBP and Khan promotions says it all. Queen Khan...
It was defo a paper cut but bashing Khan for it? Really??
It's just fucking hilarious how they let Barrera go the amount of rounds needed for a TD with that huge gash and since this one was already above the necessary rounds, stop it immediately.....
Paul was awkward. Khan did what he needed to do, he looked (Khan) like he had been scraping a lot in sparring, quite loose but punch happy. He's just so quick with it, it's hard to stop.
You think that was a good stoppage probably. Whew we didnt have to go through another Maidana incident is probably what your thinking. The doctor comes in and immediately start shaking his head for that lil cut, also what the fuck is he doing jumping in the ring so fast, doctors supposed to stay outside. This shit stinks, I feel sorry for anyone that paid for that shit.
I like Khan, I really do but I'm no fan boy. I just sense that it's somehow far too easy to hate on the guy.
all tidy.... thought i was on a WWF forum for a second there :rolleyes:
Should probaly edit the first post to include Spoiler in the title, so the guys logging on before the Berto-Ortiz fight dont click this.
Bad stoppage. Khan tho is still so amateurish. Since he's stepped up to world level from kotelnik onwards, hes just looked so amateurish. I love him as a fighter but I really truely think Bradley will beat him.
No secret I am no Khan fan but 95% chance Khan would have won a 120-108 easy there but FFS that has to be the worst stoppage I have ever seen in boxing ! Jesus whats wrong in giving the guy one more round at least. Have seen guys with ten times worse cut carry on for at least 2 rounds more
Oh and why did Khan celebrate like he was the dogs bollocks with all arms rasing and shit. i would have been embarassed
I was pretty disappointed with the fights premature stoppage; I've seen McCloskey fight before and I know he definitely had a lot more to give. :/ But what urked me off the most was Khans childish demeanor during and after the fight. He had no respect at all. I thought his perilous fight against Maidana would've humbled him, but it seems to have just made him less of a champion and more of a self-righteous smack talker. At least it will sell his next fight.
So are saying that the referee and doctor were both Khan fans, saw him win the first six rounds but sensed he might unravel and so stopped the fight to protect his record and career?
Is that what is meant by hometown cooking?
It's just that to my clearly uneducated mind, that Khan's team, who see him as a business would probably want entertaining fights that draw crowds and get them wanting to see him again rather than unsatisfactary endings like this which may only harm his chances of staging another big PPV fight in Britain on Sky any time soon..
But you are saying it was stopped deliberately to keep Khan's unbeaten run going, because after hanging 12 rounds and winning against the divisions biggest puncher they were understandably worried about his surviving the distance against a relatively light punching Irishman who Khan had pitched a shutout against up to that point?
Hometown cooking refers to a fight being stopped on an extremely insignificant cut. Barrera was able to fight for 4 more rounds whilst being cut to the bone and yet McCloskey was not even able to see out the round and have his cut worked on.
Once again it is rather dodgy hometown officiating and that is what I mean by hometown cooking.
Do you not think the fight was relatively minor and that McCloskey was game to continue. There was no good reason to stop the fight.
Round 4 on HBO. This is not so hot as both seem to have two left feet so far.
I agree bilbo.
You are clearly uneducated.;D
I agree the stoppage was awfully premature. I don't think it was done to favour Amir Khan.
If anything it's just taken away from his win. He had pitched a shut out and now thanks to the extremely soft stoppage McKloskey and his team can claim they were always going to stop him late and that he was tiring.
McKloskey gets out of suffering a legitimate defeat and Khan's big homecoming ends in a farce. Sky drop his PPV, he loses a million, and then the referee robs him of an impressively one sided win.
I expect Khan can't wait to get in a plane and back to the USA where he's a more appreciated star.
It was an awful stoppage and this seems to happen far too often when Khan is fighting in the UK. It was the opposite of the Barrera one. That needed to be stopped as it was the worst cut in living memory. This was nothing. The man was game to continue, it could have been fixed by the corner.
Pathetic and a dire reflection once again on British officiating. :rolleyes:
