All Khan proved is 4 things.
1. barrera isnt a natural lightweight (just like the pacman aint a natural lightwelter)
2. If somebody pours a pint of blood directly into your eye ball you cant see too good.
3. Khan is paying alot of attention to Roach in training and inbetween rounds and its helping ALOT
4. Khans speed and combinations are good enough to cause anybody problems ANYBODY.
Khan has always been good offensively. But even after this fight, winning against an aged legend.. he still remains untested. Truth. Nothing should change much on the doubts regarding his infamous chin. (if he actually has one) ;D
Barrera..oh man. Very unfortunate. I thought he has a lot left and it's enough to knock Khan out. Sad cuz time is not on his side. Could have been a huge step up on his resumer over Erik. But I guess them legends do have a lot in common. Remember the robbery against David Diaz? Fukk that. Now that is more than unfortunate. those judges were a disgrace.
Khan has improve. But his chin remains untested since the Prescott disaster.
Khan was good tonight but we need to see him in with some1 in the top 10.But seen as most of Warren's fighters got ko'ed last night he might wanna hand feed Khan a few more fights just to keep the money rolling in;D.
1 thing it proved Khan should not be in the same ring as JMM.
Khan fought the perfect fight and we cant say Barrera was shot because we never got chance to see what he has left .
People were throwing beer in the arena. It was a BS ending because If Barrera got headbutted he shouldnt be punished. Anyone can tell you that if you box with your eyes closed youre not going to be as good as you are with yoru eyes open . Barrera couldnt see so ofcourse it effected how he boxed. Khan did everything he should have doneapart from force a legit stoppage but I think the cut should have been stopped earlier for a NC
Anyone heard anything from Barrera ?
Khan now needs to avenge the Prescott defeat. No more boxing 35 year old bantamweights
In the arena last night for the first few hours you werent aloud to take drinks to your seat but there was loads of people drinking in there seats by the end of the night how come:confused:
They allowed drinks so that people had beer to throw when the stupid decision was announced.Quote:

I thought Khan dominated Barerra even before the cut, though I've only seen it the once and I'd had a little bit to drink at the time. Khan looked really good against a much smaller, older fighter. Without the cut he'd have won on points if he hadn't been caught. But when he fights a proper top level lightweight he's going to outspeed and outpoint them but will inevitably get sparked at some point in the twelve rounds. If it wasn't for his mandible he could be a world beater. He's extended the big payday portion of his career for a few fights with that performance though. Maybe he can get through a couple of world title fights without somebody managing to land on his chin but I doubt it.
exactly how i feel, i'm not taking away that Khan did look improved, cause he did, his guard was a lot better than it usually is, and his combinations were nice, but you can't really rank him among the elite lightweights based on that performance, like i said i think the next logical fight would be against someone like Raheem, even though he's boring as hell, it would be a good test for Khan, seeing how Raheem does have skill, has fought top level opponants (Morales, Freitas, Juarez, Funeka, etc.) but he's not too big of a risk, doesn't have huge power and well Funeka did quite a number on himQuote:

Was rootin for a Khan win so im well chuffed. That said its a real shame about the clash of heads, and thats what it was there was NO HEADBUTT so can we stop all the talk of that. See for yourself here (full fight) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v36TSUVg7Cw
Great shame bout the cut, Marco should have called it quits in the 4th when he had the chance but his pride got the better of him this time i think, Khan looked too quick and slick to get caught. Agree with people saying Khan isnt the bees knees or an elite fighter yet but off that performance you have to put him just outside the top 10 and a great prospect for the future.
Oh yeah wheres Howlin Mad Missy gone eh, least you guys stuck around to take the banter and defend your guy. MAB's no.1 fan has done a runner it seems.
And Barrera was not being dominated prior to the cut anyway. He started as most people would have expected, he was cautious and finding his range. Most of Khans blows were landing on the guard or else Barrera was slipping them.Quote:

After the head clash it changed completely, and the clash was the cause of it. Khan would have had a MUCH rougher ride without that break. Bring on a rematch I say, because I'm just not sold at all.
wtf are you on? I'm right here. Want to call me out then take it off the main board and we'll see how you do....:cool:Quote:
