Khan should have been disqualified

[Sonny's jab]

Hit him twice when he was on the floor after both the first AND second knockdowns.

When the fuck did the rules say that was allowed ?

[dan-b]

Del.

[onourway]

:rofl

[DamonD]

Fuck no, a point deduction would've been very fair but not a DQ loss.

[Cobbler]

Yawn.

[dan-b]

Delete thread.

Khan seems to think that because Kristjansen had one hand on the ropes, then it was ok to hit him. One thing for sure, he knew what he was doing....

[Makaaveli]

stfu man, you dont know nothing.

Why should be disqualified? Krist was gone mate.

[Sonny's jab]

Hitting a man while he's down is a severe foul.

If someone came from abroad and did that to a British fighter you'd all scream blue murder. Or if it happened to a Brit in Germany. :good

Even Roy Jones Jr. wasn't too fucking precious to get away with that shit. He got DQ'd.

Khan should have got DQ'd.
The guy was on his knees and Khan reached down and nailed him twice.
There's no question that should be a disqualification offence under QUEENSBERRY RULES.

I know the rules of boxing.

It's irrelevant whether Krist was gone.

Delete thread.

Why ? You want to censor the truth ?

Dont you guys care about the rules of boxing ?

Khan can beat Kristjansen any day of the week, but tonight he fouled badly and deserved to forfeit the match.

That's my opinion, because I believe in following the rules. You want to delete thread probably because you cant argue with the rules. You know the rules support what I'm saying.
Khan seemed to do it on both 1st and 2nd KDs, if so that's unequivocably a disqualifiable offense.

I agree that he broke the rules but you have started two threads in the space of 30 mins. Could you not have just posted the comments in your other thread or the one we already had running about the fight? This aint the general forum.

I usually live in the Classic forum.

Sorry, I honestly didn't know there was a rule here against posting two threads in 30 minutes.

Just two shit threads. HTH.

[UK2004]

Khan regularly hits downed opponents, David Haye has this habit too.

[robpalmer135]

Haye hit macca when he was in the exact same position!

[rooq]

correct me if i'm wrong (and i probably am!) but i thought a fighter wasn't considered down until the ref rules it a knockdown.

i don't think this one as blatant as say barrera - marquez (?)

[LeadLeftHook]

1. It was not intentional.
2. Khan was throwing like a 100 punches in wild flury and he hit Kristanjen in heat of it.
3. Kristjansen gloves DID NOT touch the canvas he was sitting down with both his gloves up against covering his face. Now WTF is that. A knock down is scored when a fighters gloves touches the canvas. So technically Khan was allowed to hit him and besides the Ref had not stepped in.

Only Khan hatres that cant stand his success are saying Khan should've DQed.

With the first knockdown the ref had already called it, and was moving in. It did look as if Khan paused to briefly consider his actions, before deciding to throw the punch. This was naughty, but for the second "offence", Kristjansen was sagging on the ropes, so for me it was more ambiguous, and I can't blame Khan for continuing to punch.
Although it looked bad at the time, I do believe a bit too much is being made of it all. Yes, he could have been DQ'd, but that would have caused far more controversy, and would have benefitted nobody. If Vann had docked a point (or even two) from Khan and allowed Kristjansen some time to recover, then he would have been seen to be fair, whilst the outcome would have been the same.

I agree with this. Only the last punch on the first knockdown I thought was out of line. And he did pause like he knew he shouldn't throw it and then couldn't quite stop himself.

But even if there was a split second pause, the referee had not stepped in. Kristanjsen had both his hands up against his face and was sitting down against the ropes. Isnt a knock down when the hand or knee touches the canvas? In this case neither did as Kristansens was sitting against he ropes so technically Khan could have hit him. It was borderline situation but as expected Khan haters are making too much about it.

[Ilesey]

No, a DQ loss is way too harsh but Khan should've known better.

[Eubank]

Not even a foul. Kristanjsen was not ruled down when Khan threw has last punches. Stop the Hate.

[IronBull]

It was not intentional, Khan isn't a dirty fighter like Ricky Hatton.

If you watch the fight again... from his angle you wouldn't be able to tell if his knees touched the floor because of the way he went down... it is like a blind spot.

[elle]

In the interest of impartial ref-ing intentional or not it deserved to have a point deducted.

Think Kristjansen should perhaps have also been given more time to recover.
