Do you think khan should have been disqualified?

Question

Makes me sick that he didnt get D/Q. He hit the man when he was down, & he hit him 3-5 times. Frank warren and khan must be joking thinking he should have a World title. he wouldnt have a chance against a decent fighter.

Answer 1

lol.  He will destroy any American who dares to get in his way.  When he advances to finish a fight he is awesome.

What a bunch of unpatriotic muppets on here.  It's boxing not hop-skotch.

I hope you're around WHEN Khan becomes world champ before Christmas.

People who don't rate Khan need to list all the fighters better than him in his division right now.  It won't take them long.

Answer 2

No way a world champion,  Wait and see!!

Answer 3

Rubbish.

He followed through with a couple of glancing blows while he was in 'the flow'.

The ref was right to stop him and admonish him, but afighter with a killer instinct doesn't stop in an instant - that's what the referee is there for.

Khan didn't punch after the bell.

Answer 4

The guys a cheat and I will no longer watch any more of his fights. I thought he was one of the good guys out there in sport but he's a filthy cheat who knew the guy was coming back into the fight.

I hope he loses every fight from now on and yes he should have been disqualified.

Answer 5

yes why, because times he leathered his opponent within 2 rounds and got away with it through bad refereeing?

Answer 6

*Laughs*

English boxing as it's finest.  I haven't seen the fight, but I'm sure going to look for it, and add this incident to my list of reasons as to why english boxing is sloppy and unprofessional.  I had to laugh at the answerer stating that you get to pummel a downed fighter until the ref breaks it up.  Maybe in England where bloodlust and violence is more important than an athletic contest.  I understand Micky Van was the ref, that Hatton's pet referee, eh?  No wonder the Hatton fans couldn't understand why Cortez refereed the way he did:  they've never seen a properly reffed fight.

Answer 7

No, i think he was lost in the moment

Answer 8

Of course Khan should not have been disqualified - the rules of boxing state that you fight until the referee tells you to either "break" or "stop" - Mickey Vann had done neither.  It is an unwritten rule that you don't hit an oppenent when he is down, but, as in tonight's fight, it's a difficult call when the opponent is being held up by the ropes.

Mickey Vann is one of the top referees in the world, and, as usual, he got it right again.

Khan still has someway to go before he's world champion material, but having watched last night's European title fight featuring Jon Thaxton, Romanov could be a credible opponent for Khan.

And before people start jumping on Frank Warren's case, his handling of Joe Calzaghe and Ricky Hatton has been impeccable; Hatton's worst performances have come after he split with Warren - taking the Mayweather fight was a brainless decision.

Answer 9

no he shouldnt have got disqualified they didn't affect him but i wanted the other guy to win

Answer 10

Agreed, yet again the absurd coverage continues, (how many decent lighter weight individuals have had this level of coverage in the past). Van was very wrong after the second lot of illegal punches not to dq him.
