Whoa, that finish was WRONG

But usually the fighter isn't complaining about not being able to see in the middle of a round either...Or saying his vision was still blurry... It clearly was a bad decision by the ref, but I guess I'm just more disappointed in Rahman's lack of heart...The cut wasn't that big but it was very deep and the fight couldn't have gone on much longer. I've never seen anything quite like this. Usually the doctor just makes medical observations and the referee determines whether the fighter is willing to go on or not. He didn't make himself enough of a part of the situation. But to me it comes down to the cut being bad and clearly caused by a butt. After only three rounds the fight should have been thrown out. I was shocked they gave it to Toney and think Rahman's allegation about Goossen being the house promoter is legitimate.
I have no doubt Goosen played a big part in that decision...Comment

Jeez you really have a boner for me dont you? You follow me round like a lost puppy.
Well I do own you so I guess its appropriate.
Never said it shouldnt have been a no contest my excitable little friend. I said I saw where they were coming from. The doctor didnt stop the fight because of the cut. Rahman said he couldnt see hence he couldnt continue. The cut wasnt serious enough to force a stoppage.
Read that over a couple of times until you get it. Theres a good boy.

Im talking about real money, I could care less about E-points, I've already promised to return them if the verdict is overturned.
They only had one working microphone for an 8 man crew, its only appropriate that the fight was a piece of ****.Comment

point is he could see, no he couldnt when blood was streaming into it.
but as he sat there on his stool with the blood stopped he was still insisting he could not see out of the eye due to blurred vision.... he could see fine.
there are plenty of examples of guys fighting on with worse cuts.
id like to see the cut toney said he sustained against tim littles that he fought through.Comment

Yes like I said Im not arguing against a No Contest but the doctor did deem after the fight that the cut not serious enough for a stoppage. Rahman was complaining he couldnt see when they wasnt even any blood dripping from the cut. The doctor made a judgement based on what Rahman was saying before making a decision on the cut.
It probably shouldve been an NC but I can see how they came to that decision.Comment

That was a much worse cut in my opinion. And Toney went out and KOed him in the next round. I think Rahman couldve given it a round or two. The bleeding seem to have stopped.point is he could see, no he couldnt when blood was streaming into it.
