Pretty much. There was just no reason for them to have stopped the fight when they did. The cut was no worse than it was in the 2nd round - either stop it when it happens, or if you made the judgment that he can fight through it, let him fight through it until he gets hurt.

While Amir clearly beat Barrera and probably deserved the win, the ref's handling of the fight was pretty horrible.

Indeed. Especially when it became obvious that there was some stretching going on. You can tell they were just trying to get it past the minimum.

he gets rocked by a right hand. I'm not saying he was doing the chicken dance Zab Judah style but Barrera definately did hurt Khan and his legs buckled and they stopped the fight 30 seconds later for ****s sake. Its pathetic.

Yep that shot hurt alright and made Khan do his pacman impression, but he took it well, How well will he take shots from a natural lightweight in the future.
