AMIR Khan retained his WBA light-welterweight title on points after Paul McCloskey was stopped by the referee in the sixth round because of a nasty cut over his left eye in Manchester on Saturday.
Puerto Rican referee Luiz Pabon deemed the cut to have come from an accidental clash of heads, and summoned ringside doctor Phil Sahu, who believed McCloskey couldn't continue with blood seeping into his eye and impairing his vision. McCloskey disagreed but Pabon sent the fight to the scorecards, and the Northern Irish challenger and his team were livid. All three judges had Khan leading 60-54 halfway through the scheduled 12-round bout, thereby improving the Englishman's record to 25-1 with 17 knockouts.
