Poor McCloskey. Victim of homecooking.
This was a world championship fight. No way it should have been stopped. The ref should have let it continue to see if it got worse or if the blood bothered McCloskey.
People can say that the stoppage saved McCloskey from further punishment but that is off the mark and irrelevant for the issue at hand.
It was a terrible stoppage that makes you wonder if Khan would have been stopped if it was him who was cut?
Remember when Khan fought Barrerra? That fight was allowed to continue too long and just so long that the fight could go to the cards.
And then there was Khan's fight against Martin Kristjansen where Khan was allowed to blatantly foul his downed opponent several times without any penalty.
Bottom line is that there's enough evidence to say that Khan gets all the help he can get when he fights in Britain.
Homecooking in the mold of Ottke, Bute and Ward.
