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

[Howlin Mad Missy]

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.

no BUT it would have been the correct decision to take. What is this mob rule?

It would have been the correct call though. It's beyond me how it could have got past the doctors check in the 4th. It should have been stopped by the end of the 2nd. It was an awful display of officiating all round. I have my suspicions of course as to why the 5th was suddenly the "right" time to end it.

mob rule?

I don't buy that 5th round conspiracy stuff.

So the ref and doctor purposely let the fight continue to give Khan a win? What would have happend had Barrera sparked him before the 5th round ending? You'd all be saying the ref and doctor consprired against Khan by letting Barrera continue, right?

If he'd have stopped him I would have said Barrera was lucky because the fight could have been stopped at any time. I would have also said Khan is chinny - which he still is

not saying it was an intentional 'lets fix this for khan' but by leaving it till then we did come out with a 'winner' rather than an 'unsatisfactory' (your words) NC.

How much worse was the cut from the first time the doctor looked at it till they waved it off? I do think the question needs to be asked why they let it continue.

When I saw the cut start bleeding out I thought shit this is going to be stopped any second now, my next thought was shit, £300 and they haven't finished a round. I'm sure there were people with more on the line than their ticket money I would have been disappointed BUT I say again it would have been the right decision.

I paid to be there and I paid for the ppv and Id have prefered to have seen the right decision . An NC after 1 round

Its not about making people happy at Barreras exspense. Its about doing the right thing

I said Khan's "win" was unsatisfactory too.

Personally I would have benefited from a NC. I would have GREATLY benefitted had Barrera landed the KO punch though - so prefered the gamble.

Maybe Dave Parris gave Barrera a chance to get into the fight but then realised the handicap was too great?

Or maybe you're right - he purposely risked Khan getting sparked so we could have a winner?

Dunno.

[Howlin Mad Missy]

I prefer the option I read on PM that said Dave Parris was shitting himself

[Fenster]

I wonder who that was from

You can clearly see Warren signal to the ref about 10 seconds before the doctor looked at the cut again.

Warren signals for him to look at the cut.....ref waits a few more seconds ....

Rest is History.

Look at Warren 3 mins 14 secs in (centre ringside)

really wouldn't surprise me.

Did you see warrens cheshire cat grin when he went to Barreras corner? Nevermined trying to look sincere about an unlucky cut. Barrera should have punched him

[Fenster]

That's a bit inconclusive. He could have been wiping sweat from his bonce. He was telling Khan to jab not long before that.

Although Barrera had just shook Khan with a righthand, so understandable they shit themselves.

Cheating dirty cunts. Knew i should have backed Khan
