Should there be an asterix on Khan's record?

    Never said you did, just asking. Because fights ending this way are fairly common yet you've only posted a thread regarding this fight, as opposed to all the others that occur all over the world.

    Its totally irrelevant.

    This is about Khan winning two fights via a cuts caused by his headbutts but in one fight Barrera was allowed continue for round after round until they reached the four necessary rounds to avoid being a no contest but the opposite standards being applied here.

    Both times in favour of what Khan would wish to happen. It all seems very convenient and coincidental

    McCloskey is not world class, he even struggles with Euro level opposition. McCloskey is lucky the fight ended in controversy, now he can make a name for himself with the Khan didn't beat me, ducking rematch angle.

    Not really. As I say, things like this occur regularly. This is not to say I agree with both decisions, the Barrera one in particular was horrendous, but it makes no sense to apply it to one fighter and one fighter only. If you believe that this should be the case with Khan, then it should apply to the likes of Dunne, Bradley, and countless others who have won in similar circumstances.

    Mccloskey is a coward, stick to struggling against average european opponents paul.

    Bradley leads with his head when he come forward. It could be Amir with sore head in the next fight! There is a high chance Bradley or Amir Khan will get head butted!
