    Khan did what he was supposed to do (and got a little help from the cut fairy)....The win shows Khan is a good fighter.

    Now, do I honestly think he will ever be a unified belt holder/top tier fighter? I do not think so......

    no. Barrera got cheated. How about that?

    Barrera didnt get cheated... It was an accidental headbut...Barerra chose to continue and he lost on the cards.

    So are you saying anytime an accidental headbut causes a cut the fight should be ruled a no contest? Or just when your fighter loses?

    I'm saying it is not up the fighter to decide.

    The ref, the doctor and possibly the corner dropped a bollock.

    I would have no problem had the fight been stopped and called a no contest.........Obviously the cut was impairing Barrera and I think it was evident before the 5th that it is unlikely barrera would have been able to finish the fight with the cut...

    BUT, the refs and the doctors are the experts and they didnt stop it so I will live with the decision. I think it was fair.

    I think Khan showed he is a good fighter because if you can beat a fighter of Barrera's calibur (impaired/over the hill or not) you have to have some skills. But Khan wont be half the fighter Barrera was in his career.....

    They didn't act so expert considering what we now know about the injury. It was not fair. Letting the fight continue showed negligence and gross ignorance of the scale of the inflicted injury.

    on the one hand you say it was clearly impairing Barrera & he couldn't have continued for 12 but then you think it was fair to let it continue?

    What if Khan had been a big puncher? That would clearly have been a very dangerous situation for a fighter.

    The cut wasnt in a dangerous spot. They gave Barrera the benefit of the doubt and let his corner work the cut. Could they have stopped it a round or two sooner? Yeah, was it a total travesty they let it go to the fifth? No.....
