JazMerkin, do you think the fight was officiated correctly? Did Khan deserve his "win" in your honest opinion?

Did you see Dave Parris on prizefighter last night . Two fighters got cut so he should have stopped the fight and given it to teh man who headbuted them just to be consistant with his poor judgement

I can see both sides to be honest. I thought that the cut probably did mean it should have been called a NC, but I've seen many fights where similar cuts have carried on. I do think Khan did what he needed to do though. If you look at it from his point of view, he shouldn't have to worry about Barrera, just as Barrera wouldn't if roles were reversed, he just needs to look at his own opinion, and at his age should take the best from it and move on. We can talk about the decision forever (as I'm worrying we might ), but the fact is what's done is done. Barrera clearly had a chance to stop the fight, but didn't take it, it seemed clear to me he indicated he wanted to go on, so these things happen.

I don't necessarily agree to the extent of Bilbo's views, but I don't agree with yours either. I also think the British sporting press has been a complete embarassment since with the pointless hype. I think that too many people including those on here, have let their partisanship blind them from the reality. Yes there was some poor officiating, and I think they should have either stopped it before or at least let MAB have another round, but they didn't and that's the way life goes. Dave Parris has a history of 'helping' Warren's fighters, he did the same in the Tszyu fight, letting Ricky basically wrestle him, and I don't remember as many complaints then. The home fighter got the breaks, it happens all the time in boxing, and this in my opinion was the case here, but it was not a robbery. Barrera had his chance to get out, and whilst I admire that he tried to take Khan out, he didn't take it and he knew the consequences. I think people holding it against Khan are being one-eyed, in no other fight do we expect the other fighter to be 'fair' to his opponent, and if the two fighters roles were reversed, no one would be concerned at Khan losing that way.

Hell Jaz I was complaining about the Hatton/Tszyu wrestlemania. I basically called the ref a cheat for allowing that to go on and the same to Hatton for adopting that 'style'.

If Khan lost that way - well first of all I honestly doubt it would have made it to 5 rounds...Warren would have been bouncing up & down screaming for it to waved off long before he gestured to the ref....you certainly would have heard about it post-fight, the commentary team & the papers wouldn't have been kissing Barreras ass which is what happened toward Khan.

As to the earlier question about making a complaint.

Don King protests Khan-Barrera! | Fightnews - Boxing News Updated 24/7

Promoter Don King has filed a protest with the British Boxing Board of Control, World Boxing Organization and World Boxing Association on behalf of Marco Antonio Barrera claiming his accidental clash of heads with Amir Khan during the first round of their match should have resulted in the fight being ruled no contest. The five-time world champion Barrera and rising 22-year-old British star Khan had barely begun to fight in front of a sold-out crowd of 20,000 at M.E.N Arena on March 14 in Manchester, England, when the two boxers’ heads inadvertently slammed together while trying to land punches. The accidental meeting of heads occurred during the second minute of the fight, opening a huge gash on the left side of Barrera’s head. The deep scalp cut began to bleed profusely and immediately caused a virtual blood waterfall to spill into Barrera’s left eye.....
