Khan fight spoiler

[Gandalf]

The doctor was a joke of a doctor. What kind of pussy's stop the fight with that little cut?

Didn't seem like McCrappy complained to much

He was saying bullshit after the stoppage, he looked upset by the stoppage. You seriously think that was a bad cut?

No. Fight could of and should of gone on. Ain't that what a cut man for? To work on the cut?

finish the round, let the guy go to work, start the round, if it's too bad to continue then end it.

Half of Hattons face had to be glued together during his fights...

Exactly. And Barrera had to look like Frankenstein until it was okay to go to the cards.

Another shameful homecooking job involving a Khan fight.

Seems to be an all too regular occurance.

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.
