After all the ballyhoo and a good think yes the fight should of been stopped in the 1st round as that cut was extreme to the max, but on the other hand the promoters would of got stick from the tv poeple, fans etc so I think they were between a rock and a hard place and as Barrera was a sacrificial lamb to the slaughter, they let the fight go to round five and called a decision for Khon who was being set up for the win anyway.
