    Hmm let's see.

    Loma/Rigo: Camera shows Rigo's corner with trainer waving hand saying "NO MAS!" four times while the ref stands there in disbelief confirming "Are you sure..?" And as Stephen A. Smith said, "I want to know where he hurt his hand, 'cause I didn't see him connect with nothing but AIR..."

    Crawford/Khan: Shortly after eating jabs to the face, Crawford squares up, loads up and throws full velocity a shot to the groin that lifts Khan off the ground (see avi…). Khan goes to corner, says he's hurt. Camera cuts, next thing we see is the ref waving. Then we hear that Virgil Hunter stopped it. Meanwhile, Khan says he never told Virgil to stop the fight.

    So in one, you have a CLEAR quit.
    IN the other, you have a trainer who stopped the fight where the fighter says they didn't tell them to.

    The poll shouldn't even exist.

      Stop it.

      You can see Khan nodding to Virgil when Virgil was asking him if he wants him to stop it.

      The punch landed on the leg, not the groin. It was low, really low, but it was a shot in the leg.

        I saw no such thing. I saw "are you hurt?" and a yes nod. After which, a mention that something was wrong in his stomach and he wasn't sure he could keep going.

        The punch landed right on the side of the cup. Anyone who's worn one and taken a square shot there knows how it feels. Like electricity up and down, then a feeling you're going to straight up puke. Especially if it happens after a body shot or 8 like he took.

        The bottom line is there is a SIGNIFICANT difference between Rigo, who took ZERO damage and just quit, vs. Amir Khan that had taken a bunch of body shots and nut shot and was clearly in pain to the point he couldn't continue.

        So if you're saying that Rigo's "I wasn't even hit, I'm just too embarrassed to be in here" BS is okay, I don't know what to think about you dude.
