Toney Rahman: why a TKO was the right call

[amat]

The doctor did not take a long and hard look, he had JUST stepped on the apron when Rahman said that.

Like I said, Rahman very well could have been looking for an out, but that doesn't justify just completely throwing the rule book out the window imo.

Well, if this ruling does anything, it will persuade opportunistic fighters against quiting after an accidental foul.

Ok so lets us just allow all the head butting hell if you can get a tko out of it should be allowed i can not belive what i am hearing from you people.

Look seems pretty simple to me Rock man was cut by a head butt and it was stop but it was not enough rounds to go to the cards there for is a no contest so they should either fight again or just leave it alone i can not beilve people would be so upset with a nc its the rules always have been.

You joker...its not that simple and even if explaining to means turning in circles...here you go:

During the rnd Rahman was cut by an accidental head butt...in between the rnds the doc wants to take a look at the cut and before that Rahman starts complaining that he can't see or doesn't want to fight with one eye and the doc waves it off...that means that the doc stopped it(or advised the ref to stop it)because of Rahmans complaing that he is to handicaped to go on not because of the cut...thats the difference...
It would be similiar if Gatti told the doc that his hand is broken again in I think it was the Damgaard fight,but Gatti and his corner kept it to themselves instead of whining around(I'm sorry but I really disslike Rahman...)and won the fight...

I seriously doubt that the doc would have stopped the fight because of the cut...at least at that point...
