It was a gamble because it wasn't stopped.

I'm pretty sure if he told the doctor he couldn't see the fight would have been waved off by the doctor - not the fighter quitting

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.
Finally - which is the point we have been making.

99% of want to carry on. Cooke & Enzo wanted to carry because they wanted to that means they should have. I beg your pardon.

Woah slow down there Missy....i never said if a fighter wants to continue he should be allowed. Barrera had a cut. He wasn't on queer street like Enzo and Cooky. I said that imo the cut was a bad one, but at the same time i didn't think Barrera needed to go into 100% warrior mode just to survive the 5 rounds. The cut was bad enough for me not to feel satisfied about the fight, but it wasn't bad enough for me to not give Khan any credit for winning the fight. A few of you were making out that Khan was in there with Stevie Wonder wearing boxing gloves.


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.
now that is just silly. It took 11 rounds for Pac to break him down before the ref stepped in. You HONESTLY believe Khan could ko Barrera in 3 rounds? Now I know this is a wind up.

Yeah but Pac didn't break down a 'blind' MAB. My point was, Barrera was still savvy enough and could still see enough to block and slip punches. My point was, if he was totally blind in even one eye, Khan would have had a field day.

you both seem to have spat your dummy out because the result has gone against him. Maybe i'm just talking bollocks though
did you hear Khan? Did you read the newspapers? I don't like hype and I don't like lies.
I don't read the newspapers nor do i get taken in by the sensationalist headlines. I haven't heard a single Khan interview since the fight...all i heard was after the fight he seemed pleased with his performance....like most fighters are.

It's interesting that you don't like hype and you don't like lies yet you bought into the idea that a washed up Barrera that had been fighting in a gymnasium in China even had a slight chance against a young, hungry, talented fighter holding every physical advantage possible.
