And suddenly the cut will not be a factor in Barerra's performance of the first fight, it will be evidence he was past it, and Khan will get no credit once again.

Another lose-lose situation
So are you trying to say that the cut had no bearing on Barrera's performance?

Well I'm sorry but when you have that much blood pissing in your eyes that you surely can't see, you are at a disadvantage. Even Ali needed his eyes, remember the first fight with Liston when he was blinded? He had to dance and stay out of the way until his vision cleared and then got back into his groove and tormented Sonny into quitting.

I think that a similar thing could have happened here but Barrera was never going to clear up because it was a CUT that was making him blind and therefore due to the severity of the cut initially, it should have been waved off at the end of round 1 and ultimately called a NC.
What im saying is when Khan wins the rematch he will get no credit still.

Because the reason Barerra lost will be because he was past it and the first fight with Khan will be used as evidence for that, and rather then the journalists saying the cut was the reason Barerra looked bad, they will say the reason was he was past it and the fight just proved it.

So its a lose-lose for Khan. What I mean is to the journalists the cut means something now..

But if they rematch and Khan wins they will say that the first fight was evidence Barerra was past it and somehow the cut theory will be ignored.
