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

[Howlin Mad Missy]

Why is something aint right? It was up to Barerra to continue or not he could have said no and it would have been a NC. It wasnt like the commission delayed it, Barerra did.

The Doctor or the Ref should have called it. It wasnt a nose bleed,it was blood gushing in to his eye,and they let it go exactly as long as it needed to go to make it a decision. Its not passing the sniff test.

Barerra wanted to continue other then the fact he was a warrior he obviously must have felt the fight was within his grasp or that he'd win.

Thats why i said i dont understand why he said after the fight he thought they should have stopped it sooner when he was the one who elected to continue.

If the fighter says he is fine in terms of where a cut is the ringside physician can take it as just that especially with someone as experienced as Barerra. It was Barerra's choice to continue the fight. Then after the fight he probably said what he said so that he'd get a rematch.

Why do you keep saying it was Barreras decision? No it wasn't you can ask him and 99% of fighters if they want to box on and they'll all say yes. I've seen guys knocked down who clearly have had enough look over beggingly to their corners hoping they'll stop it before the ref has to step in or they slump to the floor again.

I don't think he'd want to fight here again after that stink fest do you?

You mention that, everyone was wondering what would happen when Barrera hit him on the chin. We all saw he wobbled and not just the once. Which is why it makes it all the more the crappy decision. The smaller, slower, can't hit at this weight Barrera was able to connect and it had an effect. If he'd hit him and nothing happened I may but it's an outside 'may' have contemplated the fact that Barrera had little chance. But that wasn't the case now was it?

They stopped Klitschko when he was winning for a cut that wasnt even bleeding in to his eye but around it,Barrera was fighting with one eye tied behind his back in there

It was up to the doctor. MAB could also be unsure that if HE decided to quit rather than the doctor it would be a TKO loss rather than a NC.

I second that.

Vitali need about a hundred stiches. If they didn't stop it he'd have no boat left.

But the blood wasnt going in to his eye,it was for Barrera,and for the record Klitschko had 60 stitches

60 is close to 100. Sort of.

Barrera just needed a good cut-man. Trust me.

Unfortunatly most cut men arent able to pull off miracles,or there would have been one canonized by now.There is no St Mickey Of The Holy Coagulant

There's an art to using the enswell, cotton swab and vaseline. Trust me, son.

Mickey W. would have sorted it. Fact.
