Re: Should the Khan/Barrera fight have been called a no contest?
The doctor really sucked... Plain and simple like Diane said.Originally Posted by Diane
I think this pic says it all. What competent doctor would allow a fighter to continue to fight with a 3 inch gash, and this much blood, that would obviously impede the fighters ability to see punches coming at him.
Plain and simple I think.

Re: Should the Khan/Barrera fight have been called a no contest?
To be fair Khan would have won this regardless.......and yes the Doctor and the ref should have taken the decision out of MAB's hands and declared this a No-Contest

Re: Should the Khan/Barrera fight have been called a no contest?
You can't really judge that on two minutes of clean boxing though, Barrera seemed right in it to me up until the headclash. Afterwards he was on the back foot more as a direct consequence of the cut, Khan really isn't all he is being cracked up to be.
The UK media seems absurd judging by the things I have been reading!

Re: Should the Khan/Barrera fight have been called a no contest?
Having watched it on tv now I didn't realise how bad the cut was. MAB is one of the small minority of fighters who would have kept going under those circumstances.
MAB was never going to win on points in such a fight and it was a stoppage he would have been looking for.
He DID hurt Khan twice regardless.
On a level playing field without the cut this fight would have been a cracker and would have been a case of Khan way ahead on points with MAB hunting him down.
I thought a rematch was pointless a couple of days ago but now maybe it's best thing to do.
Had MAB pulled out we would have got a rematch. You have to respect him for not doing that - not that we don't already

I'm disguted by what I've been reading. If it the shoe was on the other foot they would have been calling for the heads of the ref and a doctor.
You know what I also like....how he was doing this for Britain....now he's going to help Manny beat (his friend) Hatton. Nice one.

on the money article.
the press won't slam anything to do with warren in case he doesn't let them play & they would have to pay for ticket to watch boxing.

Re: Should the Khan/Barrera fight have been called a no contest?
That's true.. but many sports writers seem genuinely happy the guy representing Britain won. I too find the lack of refrences to the cut ruining the fight jarring.on the money article.

That "Sporting Blog" article is OK but it's easy with hindsight to say what SHOULD have happened. Stopping the fight so early may have caused a RIOT. Barrera might have knocked him spark-out after being allowed to carry on. Barrera might have said he was OK to continue then we would have threads saying they fixed it to SAVE Khan from a KO

Re: Should the Khan/Barrera fight have been called a no contest?
I think that article was spot on, give them a round to stop the flow, then stop the fight in the second when it was abundantly clear that it was severely impairing his vision. I'm also disgusted with the press (and Khan) for declaring it such a victory, and have lost all respect I had for Jim Watts commentating - he's usually one that goes overboard in describing how even minor cuts can impair a man's performance but sucked up to the box office bullshit. How could such a legend be treated so shabbily?

Re: Should the Khan/Barrera fight have been called a no contest?
I totally agree, the fight should have been stopped because the blood poured from the clash till the end, if it was ok in the second, third and fourth despide the waterfall of blood, why calling it off in the fifth? It should have been stopped before. Thus said, Khan won clearly every rounds, wasn't even close, the kid showed his skills and we can't take that from him. NOw we can speculate "what if I" but it becomes than pure fantasy and we have no way to clearly foresee the future using all the "what if". Fact is: the fight should have been stopped before and it was a bit unfair to barrera, fact is: Khan totally dominated a guy over 5 rounds, a guy everybody including Khan's friends saw as being the british's boy undertaker. Did Barrera got an unfair lost in the circumstances? I think so. Did Khan showed what everybody wanted to see from him? Yes.

Re: Should the Khan/Barrera fight have been called a no contest?
Can anyone honestly say, on the night, they would have been happy for a no-contest to be called after 2 rounds?
Either way it would have been a terrible unsatisfactory ending.
