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.....
There was no problem stopping the Guerrero fight a couple weeks ago, and the blood wasn't flowing nearly as bad, not to say it was or wasn't a worse cut. I just wouldn't be that excited over this win. Khan is lightning fast no question, but I feel majority of his punches weren't landing and even will go as far to say MAB rocked Khan with a couple shots with 1 eye no less.
Guerrero's cut was in a worse spot but the Ghost wanted the fight stopped and so they stopped it. Marco could have done the same thing..
Marco on the other hand wanted to continue. Barrera would probably rather have the loss on his record knowing he fought until they wouldnt let him fight anymore, rather than being a baby and saying he didnt want to continue.
