You can all shut up about the stoppage now

Freddy Roach saying it was a good stoppage & Khan never fully recovered from the first shot.
Hey, a good stoppage is what I said from the get-go.

I do agree with Big H that Bayless *could* have actually stopped it after the first knockdown but with 15 seconds left in the round -- Khan was clearly struggling just to stay standing at that point. But given the timing, I thought it was the right move to let him try and make it to the bell and see what a minute's rest would do. He actually got up reasonably quickly and well from the second knockdown and looked more lucid then than before. It wasn't until after they re-engaged that I could tell his legs were *definitely* out for good, and then after the third knockdown, his eyes were completely glazed and dilated -- he looked borderline out on his feet -- and was in danger of being seriously injured.

I thought Bayless made exactly the right calls, as usual. #1 ref in the game.
