Should the Khan/Barrera fight have been called a no contest?

[ElTerribleMorales]

if the doctor would have stopped it by the 3rd which i think he should have well yes, but Barrera and his corner elected to go on, so their own fault that it ended up a TD5 for Khan, kinda reminds me of Tyson/Williams, Mike basically had Danny Williams out of there until he hurt his knee, should have spoken up and left it a NC but well that's how shit goes

[TeleTuff]

maybe,you`re missing the point,what I mean is,if Barrera decided he did`nt want to fight on BEFORE the fourth it would have been ruled A TKO loss for him,so,...sure he did`nt want to quit,...Anywat it does`nt really matter if Barrera wanted to quit or not,with A cut like that NO fighter can be expected to fight up to his value,it looked to me that Khan was gonna dominate the fight,He`s flat out to big and strong and young for Barrera at this point,that`s why IMO A big deal should not be made of it,even if the cut never occured.At this point like Warren said Khan should be able to beat Barrera at this point.All of Barrera`s Exp. is more of A detrament than A asset at this point.

no it wouldn't have been ruled a TKO loss for him, it would have simply been ruled a NO CONTEST, the cut came from an accidental headbutt not a punch, same as the Robert Guerrero fight last week, Barrera has one more loss on his record cause of his pride, and suprisingly enough i admire his and respect him a lot more because of it, he decided to fight on, even though he was given a justified scapegoat

True enough he fought on, but afterwards he moaned about it and tried to backpeddle.

Not giving Amir any credit whatsoever as well wasn't all that classy.

He's a legend no doubt but he got completely dominated on Saturday.

The cut just allows him to save face imo.

Bilbo do you think that if Khan was badly heabutted and couldnt see punches coming but Barrera was fine and saw that Khan was there for the taking . Do you think we would have seen a slightly different fight?

Sure we would, Barrera would have battered him silly, we just wouldnt have had a chorus of 'poor Amir, should have been a NC'.

Good performance from Amir, much improved, not as improved as Jim Watt would have us believe but improved nonetheless

Now if he could just stop trying to lead with a right uppercut from 8 feet away and sticking his hands in the air every time he successfully negotiates a clip on the chin I'll be happy.

I reviewed the RBR on the other thread and didn't clearly read posts that called to stop the fight from rounds 2 onwards... maybe except for CMM's postings...

This could be the same feeling of Team Barrera not calling to stop the fight hoping MAB can land something big that could turn the fight around...

That's because he has about 5 fans on here

Watt does get carried away at times.

I couldn't believe it in the 4th round (i tink) Watt said something like - "Khans chin problem has been solved, he doesn't get hit on it anymore" .. i'm sure I heard Ian Darke gulp.

Lucky Jim swerved the commentators curse this time.
