All Khan proved is....

[ElTerribleMorales]

...that one of the greates Mexican fighters, is completely shot and a shell of his former self. Was tough to watch, and honestly i hope Barrera hangs them up for good, very hard to watch.

Wow.. so you're not going to give Khan any credit? just as I expected

i said that i wouldn't give either one of them credit way before the fight, Khan looked good, but he also is marked up, and that was against an old war torn Barrera, how the hell can you say that that was a game Barrera? he has looked horrible since his comeback, and tonight he was slow, his accuracy and time-ing was way off even before the cut, not saying Khan can't become something good, but he didn't prove that he is something special or the next big thing, i say let Khan fight one of the top lightweights than how and IF he wins i'll give him credit, until then, no

All Khan proved is.... bugger all.
He looked decent tonight granted, but a stoppage on cuts by a 35 year old doesn't say much realy, and I'm a brit. He'll have to take on a real top 10 fighter till I'm convinced. Personaly I think he's a bit average.

[Saddo]

I'm one of Khans biggest critics but Barrera being shot aint Khans fault.

he fought a class fight and went for Barrera from the getgo.... no running and punch perfect.

Well done Khan i say great win IMO

i'm starting to belive

Barerra was cut by accident, it was an awful cut, Khan dominated every single round and fought a perfect fight up to the stoppage.

Khan proved that he and Freddie Roach came up with an excellent gameplan, executed it very well and removed Khan's insecurities and scars from being knocked out so viciously and from all the crap he's been taking from the public for years.

He came out agressively but defended so well, you can say Barerra is shot, you can say if it went the distance Khan wouldv'e been caught with a KO punch, but you can't take anything away from Khan. His weak chin isn't his fault, and he did well. Well done to Khan.

Like I've said in another thread sure Barrera is past his best (I wouldn't say shot.. he slipped some of Amirs punches and didn't let him dominate) but the fact that Amir let hardly any punches hit him and showed the composure that he did, he deserves SOME credit at least..

I mean... pac man beat a shot (arguably) DLH but he got all the credit in the world for it. I just don't understand you people some times..

[:::PSL:::]

Kudos to both fighters. But Khan deserves all the accolades. The accidental headbutt is always very unfornate especially in the big event like that. But still,.. Khan won that fight CONVINCINGLY. He was too fast, he fought the smart fight, he got tagged by a couple of flush left hooks in the chin, and he took it like nothing. And for that, we should not make any excuses for the great Barrera's defeat.

Impressive by Khan!

I don't think that Barrera is shot, but it all went against him tonight. Couldn't start any worse than getting a cut like that, and after that point he was off game. Khan didnt prove he was the better fighter to me. Yes, he was winning the rounds but when it's stopped like that...well, ultimately it proves nothing.

I feel similiar. I give Khan some credit and I was rooting for him cus in my mind he was kind of the underdog. Least on this board. So much talk of his glass chin.

I hadn't seen much of him side from little highlights and his KO loss.

That cut totally fucked up the whole fight. It is very unfortunate for both fighters, Barrera more so of course, that he suffered such a cut, and so early.

Khan's win has to be put in perspective, becus Barrera had blood pouring into his eye since bout halfway thru round one. That had to affect his ability to get in and counter. Khan's speed was going to be hard to overcome no matter what, especially with him darting in and out and boxing smartly, but it made it damn near impossible for Barrera to mount any kind of offense with a cut like that.

Honestly if Barrera were to win he was going to have to knock Khan out. He wasn't going to win rounds. And the only way to do that would have been to get inside and punch with Khan.

Khan's punches also looked to rock Barrera a little bit, or least move him, I'm sure he felt them more than he let on.

I had typed out a whole paragraph evaluating the fight. But of course I clicked submit reply and it fucked me.

So I'm just gonna say this:

FUCK THAT CUT!

It messed up the whole fight and took away from Khan's win, and Barrera's chance to win.

Not really...





As you can see, MAB rocked Khan really good with prolly his best shots there. Khan proved that he progressed technically under Freddie Roach, but he still has pretty shitty chin.

And also, MAB failed to carry his strenght at 135. Fighting Khan just proved that.

Khan didn't do anythin
1.He hit his gloves most of the time and by most i mean almost the whole time.
2. His biggest hit was a headbutt that left Barrera fightin with one eye.
3. If you are a prospect with speed, agility, reach, height and age over your opponent who is cut and is fighting with one eye and is doing nothin but covering up how can you not KO him
Khan gets no credit and probly doesn't have a chance at big opposition.

[rowlesy]

How very sad that people will just not give credit where its due. He outboxed him from start to finish, and was outboxing him before the clash of heads which I think was Barrera's fault anyway.
