& the doctor could have as well. I still consider it a negligent act on their behalf.
I suspect the corner and Barrera knew the fight would be stopped by the cut sooner rather than later, Khans punches weren't doing a whole lot so give Barrera a chance by keeping him in the ring.
Thing is, it's created a lot of bad feeling because it robbed fans of an intriguing match-up over the distance that was ruined in 90 seconds. It should have been stopped. I don't much care if the crowd wouldn't have liked it. I wouldn't have liked it at the time but it would have been understandable. It was a cock-up. Khan fans declare it a wonderful scalp (literally

) for his record, Barrera fans see it a cooked decision.
