Yet if it had been the otherway around, and Barrera won with the clash of heads, King would have kept his mouth shut.
The fight should have been stopped well before it was and a No-Contest should have been declared. However I don't think King should be going for one now. It's not as if it was for the World Title or Barerra's career will be ruined by it. Compare what would have happend if Rahman had failed to get a no-contest against Toney, his career would have been over and he would have missed a Wladimir Klitschko payday. But Barerra has made his millions and probably could still make a huge payday if he fought Eric Moralles in Mexico City.
"That they allowed the fight to continue with Barrera competing at a huge disadvantage goes against everything that's designed to protect the health and safety of boxers, the good of the sport and uphold the traditions emanating from the Marquis of Queensbury rules," King said. Then you should have told MAB's corner to stop the fight, then push for a rematch.
i think it should be changed a lot of people say barrera had the choice to have it stopped or continue but how many fighters say they can carry on whan theyv been down and are in no state to carry on the reff wont let them continue it should of been out of barreras hands
i know he would have liked to have seen what would have happen if the cut hadnt occurred, and so would i
I was at the fight in manchester and King didnt seem bothered afterward he was doing the same as before the fight, waving around a few miniature flags
and the thing is...all the arguments/opinions about "khan would won anyway" or "mab would caught that glass jaw sooner or later" were all worn out 2 days after the fight cuz there were so many....i am really curious to see what woulda happened
That is true but come on now, you saw the fight, the cut didnt get any worse from when it happend, they waited for the fourth to complete on purpose, Sorry but King is doing whats right. that should have been a NC, the problem is IMO the brits were getting their asses kicked the entire night they had to find a way to steal one and they did.
