I wish the ref for Crawford-Khan would have been like arthur mercante jr

[Larry the boss]

in the cotto-foreman fight, Khan needed more of a beating as he is like Charlie Zelenoff and has an excuse for every loss, he was getting outboxed and beaten but that was not good enough, ref should have said NO!!!! LET THE FIGHT CONTINUE!!

His corner stopped it, also wishing someone takes a beating is pretty poor and says a lot about you as a man. Khan might be deluded but he ain't a bad dude...and he admitted he lost to a better man

Idk why people are blaming the ref Virgil clearly waved the flag but yeah khan is a hoe but we already knew this

Khan will take any excuse and run with it. He looked discouraged and wanted out. That surprised me because he's usually willing to go through hell. Maybe this is the first time he felt totally outclassed in every single department?

If a fighter wants to quit there is nothing any ref can do about it.

im not blaming the ref, the corner tried to stop the cotto-foreman fight to but the ref threw the towel out

You need help

This is why I can't stand Khan. He always puts his spin on it to try and make himself look good. Now to hear him tell it the fight was turning around in his favor. Crawford was fast tiring and threw a deliberate low blow in desperation to stop Khan before he ran out of gas. Crawford won every round by a mile and was certain to stop Khan soon.

Who was the ref in the Cotto vs Judah fight? Dude literally told Judah after getting hit in the nuts "You're a champion, shake it off"

Now let's continue with that scenario and say TC hurts Khan badly, like Gvozdyk vs Stevenson bad, Perez-Abdusalamov bad, over 12 rounds. Now Khan's estate has a nice little lawsuit against the state of NY and the ref, that's another black eye to boxing in NY and the dangers of it, and more over-regulation of the sport in NY. Maybe even banning boxing from NY.

Remember, Magomed Abdusalamov, who can now only mumble, won a $22 million dollar lawsuit vs New York State for his fight against Mike Perez. In reality, that fight was not NYS fault, or the ref's fault, that was actually his corner's fault for not noticing that their fighter was hurt or listening to their fighter when he told them he doesn't feel well mid fight.

After the above fight, NYS has been pretty strict on the punishment a fighter can take, and have been more opened to listening to fighters when they say they're hurt. And you can't blame them. So now the ringside doctors are more diligent.

Was Khan really badly hurt? Hell no. Well at last I don't think so, not yet. I believe 100% that was a cop-out by Khan. But was there a possibility that Khan could've been badly hurt? Absolutely, every fighter is. But Hunter is a smart guy, he doesn't want to take any chances and have that type of issue on his conscious. Once Khan nodded to him to stop the fight, he stopped it. You don;t want to have a fighter in there who doesn't want to fight anymore and then you force him to stay and he gets a career ending, life threatening brain injury.
