Comments Thread For: Amir Khan: "The Ref Should Have Stopped it Earlier"

[Rudie Cant Fail]

I thought Smoger was faultless last night,I wish there were more refs like him,and fair play to both fighters for keeping the fight clean. That being said,it was funny watching captain big mouth get battered for 11 rounds!

[Dick Buffman]

Bull****. Smoger is the best ref alive today.

Don't dare question him. Smoger is beyond reproach imo.

y'know, for about a second i thought this was a ronnie article that talked about a boxer other than pound for pound god and master of the universe manny pacquiao

[GRANDSLAM]

I have to agree Smoger is the best Ref around, Tony Weeks is good too. I don't think he should've stopped it earlier but you could see from the 9th that he didn't want it anymore and I think Smoger sensed that and saved Paulie from himself.

[Boxing Sage]

Don't ***** at the ref. According to your coach, you were supposed to have stopped him within 3 rounds with your fists, not a referee stoppage.

khan is right up there with alexander bradley maidina and ortiz by last nights showins he boxed great man and could be a test for any of the top dogs khans jab is as good as anyones p4p the speed of it cant see a slow maidina catchin up with khan to be honest his jabs gona destroy maidina like to see ortiz v khan would be sum fight for the way they both box

there is no stopping paulie.
he will still claim that pac and khan are on roids.... !!

[Porter's Dad]

Warning; article is bait. BPP is trying to lure people to talk themselves into a ban by slaughtering Ronnie. There can be no other reason for it.

khan is right ref should of stopped it earlier khan was so far ahead in the scorecards and everyone knows paulie ain't got any power to knock anyone out

you don't stop a fyt on that account!!
paulie was never "seriously" hurt, not even a knock down.
he is absorbing a lot but they're not telling blows...damaging blows.

[amayseng]

khan looked sharp and excelled last night.

one problem: he had nothing to be hesitant about...paulie has no pop at all...none. and all he came with was a jab in retaliation, he is definitely a warn fighter.

when he fights maidana it is going to be a different story because maidana dont give a *** he is gonna take three to give one, that BIG right to khans chin

khan vs maidana is going to be a great fight. hopefully hbo will pick it up.

khan is definitely gifted, long reach, good height, fast, skilled, technical

we will see if maidana walks through all that and touches his chin
