    Just going out, so apologize if there's a thread on this.

    What did you lot think of Ref Cam?. Kinda like Pride FC but not as good :lol: but a really good idea IMO. Fair play to HBO for that one it's been a long time coming really.

    It was a great idea because from the other angles it looked like Khan was ready to go on but from the ref cam you could see into his eyes and knew he wasn't steady and hadn't recovered

    I think it's a good addition and whenever a fight ends because of a low blow or something, it'll be interesting to see exactly what the referees viewpoint was. I liked it in PRIDE too. it gives you another interesting angle to see things from, so I hope Sky get it too.

    They should have showed some other angles of when bombs were flying not just for when he was being counted out. Then the ref cam would be better.

    It was on the HBO broadcast, around 31.35 of the video below :good

    I think it's a pretty cool feature, it'd be great to have it on Sky and for them to show us the ref view after a 'British stoppage' :lol:

    But seriously, Khan looked truly ****ed and when you see what Bayless saw you can't have any arguments about the stoppage.
