    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.....
    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.....

    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.

    Obviously Barerra is the type of fighter who doesn't want to quit. But at the same time he is a smart fighter and he wouldn't have continued if he felt like he was gonna lose the fight.

    I don't get why Barerra would say after the fight "I think they should have stopped it sooner."

    When it was up to him whether he wanted to continue or not.

    Maybe to sell a rematch

    I can see a number of things happening. Because it was so bad and wasn't stopped right away and seemingly ignored by the ref and the doc for 4 rounds. They (team mab) could assume they would be expected to continue to fight. Knowing the NC isn't coming they see no choice but to fight on but they also know because the cut is so bad Marcos time in there is limited.

    it's not a matter of the the cut being in a dangerous spot. It was bleeding in to his eye. That makes it dangerous. The corner had four rounds to work and couldn't stop the bleeding. How many round do you get? It ran out from the 1st to the 5th.
