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

What my concern about that cut is, it's where a metal plate was implanted in Barrera's skull years ago...

haha Barrera is too much of a warrior... and that cost him the loss to Amir...

My concern is that cut might affect MAB's future fight plans... Might as well call it a day...

SB. It will certainly take a long time to heal.

That cut is horrendous, even deeper and longer than I thought it was with the blood wiped away.

It's long but no way to tell from the picture how deep it is... BTW, I didn't read in the RBR thread your post calling to stop the fight... Or did I miss it?? ...

Oh, come on now he has an Aladdin Sane lightning bolt down the side of his head! It's a monster cut to have, and even if we cannot specify it's depth we can see how long it is and remember how it was spurting and gushing. It's a horrible cut, I don't think it needs debating.

I don't recall posting at all on the RBR during the fight. I was too busy actually watching it. I posted prior to it starting and afterwards, not at all while the fight was actually happening though. Just because I did not jump into the RBR does not mean I didn't think it should have been stopped. Personally, I would have had it stopped in the second and definitely the doctor should have disallowed Marco to continue in the fourth.

Many believed it's Marco's warrior attitude that prevented him from saying "I can't see anymore" or "I'm having headache"... Just last week, many also labeled Robert Guerrero a quitter for pulling out from his fight with Yordan in the 2nd round after he suffered a cut that resulted the fight as a no contest (NC)... Would you be upset if Barrera quit after the 1st round?? Would you call him a quitter??

I would have been dissapointed for the fight to end like that, but that is the worst cut I have seen in recent memory. If Barrera immediately agreed to a rematch upon the fight being declared a NC then Barrera wouldn't be labelled a quitter. I recall the Guerrero cut being less serious than this was.

Barrera is too much of a warrior and his corner should have been forcing him to stop. Mistakes were made out there, and Khan now has the scalp of MAB on his record because of it.

There you go, Guerrero's cut is less serious but he quit...

Barrera decided to fight on despite a very serious cut and lost by technical decision...

During the course of the fight, do you have any inkling that Barrera might land that one big punch that can turn the fight around??

[HattonTheHammer]

It was a bad cut, a very bad cut that had no signs of being able to stop the blood between rounds and it was a no brainer that the fight had to be stopped.

But why the hell do these cutsmen insist on getting that face iron out to rub down any bumps when what is clearly needed for a cut that bad is 45odd seconds of constant pressure with a towel followed by 15 applying vaseline to aid the wound!

simple really

Cut or not, the fight was a NO CONTEST.

Seeing how bad MAB did against a complete NOBODY vs Freudis Rojas

Freudis Rojas

What did team Barrera expect?

I give them kudos for trying to fight on but Con was just too fast for the old warrior. MAB never belonged in the same weight class as Con. The fight proved nothing and Con needs to prove himself against Prescott again, we don't need to look any further than Prescott. I see Con getting knocked out again soon unless he continues to fight old guys who have been way past their prime or he continues to fight nobodys but they are trying to build a world champion so he is going to have to step it up in the next couple of years.
