It wasn't a bullshit decision. If Marco wanted the fight stopped earlier, it would have been stopped. He elected to continue on the gamble that he'd get Khan out of there. The gamble didn't pay off.
It was unsatisfactory and imo the cut looked bad enough for the fight to be stopped, but when the person who is suffering from the injury actually wants to continue you, he's either an unbelievable warrior or the cuts not as bad as it appears. I'd suggest what actually happened would be somewhere in the middle fo those two.
I believe that a cut running into the eye of a fighter would handicap him but i also believe that if Barrera was as blinded as some have suggested, Khan would have had him out of there inside 3 rounds.
I just think that you and Miles were riding a lot of blind hope on this fight and i don't understand why. You're both very intelligent posters but you both seemed to put an awful lot of faith into a fighter who had every physical dis-advantage going, coupled with the fact that he had come off the back of 2 fights against complete bums (one looks to be on Kid Thunders level) and now you both seem to have spat your dummy out because the result has gone against him. Maybe i'm just talking bollocks though
