Look at Khan seeing double, he's not even looking at Bayless directly while he was telling him he was OK. With that said, Bayless = best ref ever for giving the champ the benefit of the doubt. We need to clone Bayless at least 5 times.

You could see it in Khan's face when Bayless asked him if he could continue. Khan had a drunk, slow nod and he was looking out in space instead of looking in Kenny's eyes...dude knew Khan was going to take needless punishment. Good stoppage IMO but he could have let the fight go on just so the world could see Khan laid out cold, that way there would be no after the fact second guessing or complaining.
but yeah man, ppl familiar with Bayless know that he probably let that fight go on longer than he wanted to because it was Khan and a championship. He had to remember it was two young champs in there and not someone who had a ton of wars on them. If that was one of his normal ballroom fights, he would have ended it long before that. Khan was gone the entire him until the stoppage, incredible show of heart....anyone else would be called a warrior for that effort.
I'm glad Kenny let it go on as long as he did, if there was no final knockdown Khan might have made it. I'm wondering if Roach would have thought about it
Bayless is an idiot, gave khan too much time to recover when he should have stopped it, and then when he finally stopped it, it was teh wrong time to. smh.
