    The ref didn't stop the fight because of the head butt..

    he stopped it because Rahman said he couldn't see. Now I don't know about you but I've never heard of or seen a cut that far away from someone's eye impair their vision. It sounds to me like he was looking for excuses..

      I can't see through his eyes now can I? The point is the ref wasn't threatening to stop the fight because of the cut.. the ref stopped the fight because Rahman said he couldn't see out of his eye. Wether he could or couldn't.. I couldn't tell you. I can't see through his eyes like I said before, dumb****.

        I'm actually going to apologize for my previous post. I don't know why I got s worked up over Rahman-Toney.

          This is the dilemma of that decision. Neither the ref or the Dr. saw fit to stop the fight because of the cut, yet Rahman was complaining he couldn't see...So what do you do? I'm still not complaining about this one even though I lost cash.

            didnt see the fight and havent seen any pics so its difficult to make an informed decision. From what i hear Rahman is a ***** but i reserve judgement at this time.

              They're both bums anyway. Toney was sick until he went fat!

                  Same here man...That's kind of my whole point. I had cash on it, and as far as I'm concerned Rahman is a twat and tried to cop out with a NC, regardless of the end decision.

                    The cut was far away from the eye true...

                    and i think rahman may have been looking for a way out and make excuses about it BUT...

                    the one thing that keeps me from being sold on this is the place of the cut...directly above the eye...i didnt see any blood flowing INTO the eye but since its directly above the eye i cant rule that out.

                    either way the corner was doing a GREAT job with the cut in my opinion and there have been much worse cuts (even in recent history) that didnt force a stoppage (think Katsidis' eye during the Casamayor fight i believe it was).

                    either way the fight should have continued honestly...unless that was rahman's way of getting to complain about the loss.

                    neither fighter looked extremely dominant so i dont know if rahman wanted out...its not like toney was battering him for the first 3 rounds or anything...
