actually,. from the looks of it, maidana is the one who prompted to step around to khans back throwing his rabbit punchesr u kidding me? Khan turned his back on Maidana. Maidana was right in the midst of throwing a hook to Khan's jaw from behind him.
U turn ur back on a fight. ur not protecting urself. it isn't the ref's job to step in to let u protect urself.
just as if someone gets KDed if they duck into a hook and the punch hit the back of their head. It isn't the aggressor's fault if u put urself in the vulnerable position. period.
and yes, in most fights, the ref will usually halt the action if one fighters back is facing the other fighter, that's all refs, cortez' main problem is breaking clinches where work is being done, but u can't blame him there as most refs would have done the same thingComment

of course it's a rabbit punch when ur opponent convenient turns his back on you during an exchange.actually,. from the looks of it, maidana is the one who prompted to step around to khans back throwing his rabbit punches

i am being sarcastic btw.
there is no such thing as turning ur back on ur opponent as a defensive maneuver in boxing. if u turn ur back ur not protecting urself period. you are vulnerable to whatever punishment u just put urself in. Cortez shouldn't have stepped in to let Khan reset. Khan wasn't protecting himself as a result of Maidana's legal assault so he should be able to reep the benefits.Comment

Cortez was crap in this fight, Maidana would have KO'd Khan in that round if he would have been allowed to fight insideComment

Watching it again, I don't think he was as badly hurt as I thought at the time. He took a lot of big shots and took them well, and eventually started throwing back. He looked more fatigued than anything at the end of the round and if I remember correctly he won the 11th round.
He took some wicked shots and is a warrior for getting through that.
What an epic, epic fight tho.Comment
