Khan vs McCloskey moved from Sky PPV to Sky Sports 3

[Kev]

Didnt see the fight but sounds like the Barrera fight. Khan headbutts his way to a stoppage and a hometwon decision.

Lets hope Bradley gives him a taste of his own medicine in his next fight.

Sounds like the opposite to me, the first sign of a cut and they stop it. Barrera was cut to the skull and they wouldn't stop until it would go to points.

Still, it was hometown bias and the result of a butt.

Once again you have to question the matchmaking and officiating that the Brits gets. All the big fights overseas and then chump change and homecooking at home.

Nobody can be satisfied with that.

Except this time it was a different ref, doctor and promotional outfit running the show.

First they were wrong for giving the fighter a chance to fight on, now they were wrong for immediately stopping it.

You are such a child. Fact.

Poppycock and humbug.

In both cases it was hometown bias completely favouring the domestic fighter. Different individuals involved, but the same old motivations.

Are you telling me Barrera should have been allowed to go on beyond the second round?

Are you telling me that this fight should have been stopped?

I'm sure if you are unbiased then you will agree with me and say 'no' on both counts.

I don't think McKloskey would have done anything particularly upsetting if allowed to continue. He was never expected to, but at least allow an undefeated fighter to go on. He wasn't taking massive punishment and the cut in this instance was minor. It was an extremely poor stoppage and these things are beginning to be a regular occurence when it comes to Khan fights in the UK.

It is a farce that makes British boxing look comical.

How did stopping the fight against Mckloskey favour Khan? He's already lost a fortune on this card and a premature stoppage like that does nothing to help him build his appeal stateside or win over his haters in the UK.

He was hoping for a big homecoming and between Sky and the awful stoppage it's all gone badly wrong, and through no fault of his own.

Even you agree he pitched a shutout, winning every single round on every single scoredcard. What he did need saving from exactly?
