Khan stoppage: Premature?

[THEBUTCH]

The stoppage was absolutely on point and the referee deserves a lot of credit for his impeccable timing

There seemed little or no way back for Amir. The 5th was a really bad round for Khan and the curtain was coming down on his long career.

Yes - I think it was a punch in the 3rd or 4th I think that really effed up Khan. People were saying "he lost his speed" for me - I think Brook hurt and that seemed to affect his hand speed (he seemed to just lose everything - any strength he had) Khan looked pretty quick still in flurry (if less accurate) until about the 4th round.
