    I think Khan does better when he tries surviving. His offense too predictable

      He'd stopped fighting back.

      It's that simple.

      The fact that some of you want to see a beaten man continue until he's splattered on the canvas says a lot about you.

      Non-boxers.

        Kell could've easily punched himself out.

        ​​​​​​Poor stoppage imo, Kell threw the kitchen sink at Amir at that point, if he ain't landing - the fight is on.
        I think the reason people would complain is because like you said we seen khan in worse situations. We are used to seeing khan wobble all over the ring like a baby deer or or unconscious snoring slumped in the corner. But khan just was not fighting back and he did not seem to really complain about the fight ending either way.

          They probably had an understanding to not throw in the towel, I wouldn't be surprised if both camps agreed to that considering their rivalry

            Did you see Khan's face and body after the fight? Brook was literally killing him.

              Only because most of us wanted to see the arrogant prick Khan sleeping on the canvas. I'd never actually hated a fighter until Khan came around.

                  I think Brook still beats Benn. It was a typical English ref stoppage mind. Always in too soon. Khan was never down. He was rocked 3-4 times, but never on the verge of being in serious danger, and when the ref stopped it, Brook was mostly missing. So, whilst Brook was always going to win, I'm not a fan off these stoppages as they can and have become a habit for refs to do this. Imagine a top 10 P4P fighter being stopped in that manner? Khan deserved to hit the canvas at least once. He's earned that right. Nash out.

                    I’d like to have seen him knocked out cold but getting bashed up for 6 rounds with about 17 bambi moments was fine.
