All Khan proved is....

[:::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.

I've just watched it again and there is no doubt in my mind that the cut ruined what should have been a very good fight. Barrera was looking like normal prior to it happening. His movement was good, slipping punches well, setting up his own punches. Once the cut was open it got messy.

That was not a shot Barrera by any means. Khan was gifted that opportunity and took it with both hands. I don't think he can beat even this version of Barrera actually. I would definitely like to see a rematch and for Barrera to give a proper account of himself.

Khan hasn't proven himself a better fighter than Barrera. Anyone with that kind of cut would have been bothered and had to stop. I'm not dissing Khan, but I am saying that his win does not satisfy me.

[Gandalf]

And look at round 4 where the doctor is looking at Barrera and the blood is flowing. The doctor is saying something to Barrera. Regardless, the fight should have been stopped right there. With or without Barrera's consent.

Khan is a lucky man to get a win like that. It doesn't take skill to break someones head open and tarnish a potentially very decent fight.

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.
