Exactly! If it was anyone else in a comparable situation, no-one would want the fight to be stopped. It's just that some people just can't take the fact that they called this one so very wrongly, because they are saps for "chinology" bull****.
No. This was a title fight and it would have been really stupid to stop it. Just accept that everything was above the board and Khan won and you were wrong, because you're just not really that familiar with boxing.
As much as I wanna walk away feeling impressed with Khan's skills, which are impressive. I can't shake the feeling that he should have been KO'd. Cortez did everything he could to buy Khan time, he kept interrupting every time Maidana tried to build enough momentum to put Khan away. If the fighters skin touched even a little, Cortez felt he had to come in and separate them, thus giving Khan and extra 5-6 seconds to get his legs back. If the fight as decently refereed, it would have been a KO.
Yes. Incorrectly. Khan had his guard up the entire time, was still moving around the ring, still had enough his of sense to do so and to slip some right hands and try and re-establish the range. If he got caught with 6 or 7 power-punch combinations I'd agree, but while he continued to get caught, it was never really more than 1 or 2 shots at a time.
:rofl First time I've ever heard someone angry about a ref breaking up clinches TOO QUICKLY when a boxer is hurt.
This thread has really bad AIDS. If the boot was on the other foot and was stopped you'd be calling it a bull**** stoppage, the ref was paid off, ANYTHING to discredit Khan. He faced the biggest puncher in the division, dropped him and survived an onslaught late in the fight to win a deserved decision. Hardly the stuff of a protected, glass jawed fraud?
