MAB-Khan should have been No-Decision.

This is exactly what happened.....MAB even alluded to it after the fight....he said, "the cut was just as bad in the first round as it was in the 5th when they stopped it....I dont know why they did'nt stop it earlier."

......thats what MAB said, but he only has himself to blame for not making it known to the referee that he was being badly hindered by the blood and he could'nt see the punches coming......

 

I know what you mean about the politics of boxing, but with the world watching, they would have had no choice but to stop it and rule it a no-contest had MAB's team not even worked on the cut by applying the gob of vaseline just to stop the flow while MAB got up from his stool.....

If you remember Rahman-Toney, Rahman's cut was bad enough for the ref to stop......but in this case, the ref was in Joe Goosen's (Toney's promoter) back pocket....the ref stalled for quite a bit, refusing to stop the fight, and trying to talk Rahman into continueing.....

.....if I remeber correctly, the ref awarded the fight to Toney for Rahman's refusal to continue.....
.....but it was later rightfully reversed to a no-contest upon an appeal by Rahman....

There was blood flowing into Rahman's eye, and he said he simply was not going to continue because he could'nt see......
If a fighter says that he cant see, you stop the fight and go to the cards if 4 rounds were completed....
.....in Rahmans case it was'nt and so it was ruled a no contest.

 

I'm not blaming Khan, he did a fine job.....but how in hell can you not dillute the victory when his opponent went the whole fight visually impaired?

 

Well then smarty pants, why was this fight stopped in the 5th?
The cut was no better or worse than it had been in the previous rounds!


Wonder why they chose the 5th to stop it?????

Oh my, if it goes past 4 rounds, we get to go to the scorecards and have our hometown fighter declared the winner.......WHOOOOOOOPEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

 

I'm not saying that it was a conspiracy that someone else stating that........

.....I'm blaming MAB and his team for not selling the fact to the ref that his performance was being hindered by the fact that he could'nt see.


....as for Vitali-Lewis, two different scenario's ......that cut was caused by a punch......

....in fact in that Vitali fight, the ref was about to stop it earlier, but Vitali pleaded with him to give him more time......
......when the cut did'nt get any better, the ref stopped it inspite of Vitali's pleas not too.....

Vitali actually bought himself a round or two by campaigning for the fight not to be stopped.....

.....the same type of campaigning that MAB needed to show to have the fight stopped......

Unfortunately in boxing, politics plays a major role with decision makers in it.....if the fighter does'nt stand up for himself, these politics will steamroll right over him.

 

To late for that my friend.....MAB nor his team did'nt make a verbal stance for themselves, during the fight, there is no way that anyone is going to overturn this into a no-contest.....nor should they.
