Barrera v Khan - WEIGH IN VID - Plus Undercard - STICKY!

[clintuk]

It's fair to say Barerra's cut hindered his vision and thus his ability to fight Khan to the level he wanted to, but I think it's unfair to give Khan zero credit at all. He did improve and he did appear to have a good gameplan.

Yes, he did improve and he won his rounds well. But the cut was a mess and Barrera wasn't truly beaten in there. Im such a long time Barrera fan too so it was tough to swallow.

It's harsh for Barerra, and really sucks for a ring legend to go out like that I agree. Just think this thread should focus a bit more on Khan's improvements instead of constantly giving him a hard time for something which isn't his fault. I do wish it hadn't stopped on a cut though, worst way in my opinion.

Yes, I completely agree, it’s fair and classy to give always credit to the winner if it’s not a robbery.

In it's own way it was a robbery though. The fight should have been a NC. How can you give credit to something so inconclusive. Manny Pac beat Barrera, now Khan really didnt.

CutMeMickster, there was 20,000 paying punters in that joint not 200... if they stopped it after one or two rounds there would have been a RIOT!!!!

We'll never see Missy again... she's probably in the nick now

Missy's god suffered for the sin of mankind. It was destined to happen.

Sorry Miles but I have another definition for a robbery.
I also think Khan deserved some credit; maybe Barrera didn’t deserve to lose but Khan deserved to win IMO. I respect your opinion but tell me what Amir had to do to deserve it.

To beat Barrera into submission or else hammer him on the cards. Barrera wasn't stopped and incompetence meant that a NC wasn't called sooner. It was an inconclusive result.

I've conceded that Khan was boxing well, but having said that, Barrera had blood pouring into his eye for repeated rounds. Khan was throwing pitty pat punches against the gloves of a man who couldn't see clearly. Khan did what needed to be done and the rules say he won.

But anybody can see that it has a LOT of question marks.

Would you question Calzaghe's win over RJJ in the same way? Because there's a lot of similarities in that one sentence

The punches that hit the gloves don't score. We all know this. My standards apply across all fighters. Im not disputing that Khan was winning the rounds either. He clearly was.
