    Maybe Khan woulda got him but he deserved the chance.

    It seemed awfully quick to me.
    It's not dramatic, look at Mclellan and Watson.

      Tonight served to reinforce what we already knew about Khan - lighting quick with excellent combinations but a weak defense and dodgy chin.

        Gomez always fights like that. Always.

        He deserved a chance.

          I thought the stoppage was good, Khan might not be ready for the elite at 135 but he's not too far off.

            Jamboboy is absolutely right about this. The fight could easily have been stopped before that. Gomez wasn't going down easy and was taking combinations to the head time after time. A good stoppage.

              I totally agree.

                Gomez landed 4 punches in the whole fight and everyone hurt Khan. Khan landed 200+ per round and had him hurt twice.

                  All the more reason the fight should have been stopped when it was, his head was being rocked. Yeah deserved a chance but the rules say you should defend yourself at all times and in that round he wasn't.

                    The ref stopped the fight when Khan just missed 4 punches.

                      He isnt too far off imo but he does seem to have a suspect chin though.
