Leave it to Rahman to ruin a fight. He had a small cut above his eye, not a drop of blood to be seen, and then he started telling the doctor that he couldn't see. What followed was a 5-10 minute interview consisting of Rahman whining about his grave injury.

I totally disagree. The whole fight was a sham from start to finish. The mics didn't work, the camera's had their problems. Then the head butt issue and the sham of a non contest fight called a TKO. If you didn't see blood gushing into Rahman's eye, then you need a better TV. And if you didn't hear the Doctor calling off the fight not Rahman then you need a new TV with good speakers. It was all anybody’s fault but Rahmans. The fight was not controversial but absolutely ridiculous. I don’t even know why I am wasting my time talking about it. Which had nothing to do with Rahman. It was a no contest and it will be overturned to be as such.

I'm not sure how the microphone and camera problems made the fight a sham. Was this a stripper/debating contest?

I agree that the decision was questionable. The fight had not gone long enough. I'll have to read more about the rules they used there before I make a decision about that decision.

I didn't say Rahman called it off, I simply remembered that he was complaining about his cut to the doctor (and what can the doctor do if the fighter says he is blind in one eye?), even though I didn't see any blood "gushing into Rahman's eye." Perhaps I'm mistaken and you can show me a video that shows all of this blood?

This crowd appears to share my interpretation of the fight:
