What's the next step for, "A mere con?"

Salsa lessons by the looks of it, going by the picture, he needs to move his hips more & not use the arms too much.
Khan was responsive when being asked, it was too early dismissal imo.
He gave him ALOT of chances, he could have stopped that after the first knockdown, after the second knockdown, he finally grabbed him and looked in his eyes, and Khan was speaking in that low voice, like he was drunk..He stopped it later than he could have actually
As much as I dislike Khan I don't want to see him or an other fighters take any unnecessary punishment. Bayless could've stopped the fight in the 3rd if he wanted to. He gave Khan a long 10 count stalled to action for a few extra seconds. There was no point in letting the fight continue. Khan was getting hit with everything in the 4th and still had a few moments himself but the inevitable was going to happen.
I agree. Maybe or maybe not it could have been stopped after the 1st Kd, but he was fine after the 3rd. Not fine, but fully alert.
:lol1: WTF...Khan look like he was smoking that ***** after the first KD. You on same ***** man....
bayless asked him to approach him & khan didnt respond & bayless put his hands up like are you going to walk to me or not & khan didnt move so he stopped it. good stoppage
Khan was responsive when being asked, it was too early dismissal imo.
why so that he could get knocked out the ring and run around like bambi no thanks ! kenny gave him two chances and let him off the hook twice!
If anything, Bayless was way too generous when he gave Khan a few extra seconds to recovered after the first KD. Most refs would've stopped it after the first KD.
that would have been a rubbish stoppage though. you've got to give them a chance.
Dude, he was wobbly as fuck and couldn't even lift his gloves. He wasn't going to come back from that. It's okay to get knocked down and need a few seconds to get your shit together, but Khan looked like he had just stepped back on land from months out at sea. His legs were gone, and he was dazed and confused.
I'm alright with the fact that it continued from an entertainment point-of-view, but let's be real. Khan did show a shitload of heart in the fourth though. Dumb guy will just always get himself into these situations.
Bayless did everything right.
If Khan wanted the bout to go on, he should've been a lot more responsive and look more aware. When Bayless asked if he was ok, he quietly mumbled something with a lost look on his face and didn't look ' up for it '.
Bayless looked at him for a second before calling the bout off and only then did Khan actually show some emotion.
Yo look at the replay of the last count, when asked the 1st time he nodded, the 2nd time he said "Im ok". What kind of more respond you expect from that?
Its a tough call, and maybe it would have taken Garcia another 3 rounds to nail khan, and maybe it wouldnt. Khan could have survived perhaps and maybe he wouldnt have and it wouldnt have ended well for khan?
The refs intentions were good and he gave khan plenty of opportunity to recover. The minute wasnt even enough rest for khan.
So good stoppage, even if khan could have continued.
Khan simply could not control his legs
If you watch the fight after the KO, he comes back fighting, he still somewhat controlled of his reflexes, he even ducked a few punches while landing blows on Garcia, but his legs were gone, he showed a lot of heart. I thought he might just survive because Garcia was gassing out, but even a touch to the head and Khan was on the floor
It was the right decision, a deadly punch to the jaw and neck, he was never going to recover....
