Well Done Amir Khan

[Kel]

Yeaa exellent result for Khan. Shame to see barrera go out like that. I just hope the khan camp dont get to exited and throw him in with JMM cos we what would be the outcome. Hes needs to slowsly progress and perfect that defence then maybe move up to world level.

I'm struggling with the result still, so find it hard to give Khan any credit. He did box well for 4 rounds and was winning the fight. But I cannot say that he beat Barrera because in my heart of hearts I don't think he did.

I'm pretty much the same, but what happened, happened. Amir Khan has a win over Marco Antonio Barrera on his record..........urrrgh

It doesn't bear thinking about really. Damn headbut in the first and blood pouring everywhere. Calzaghe against Lacy, now that was a great win. Hatton against Kostya, now that was a great win. Khan against Barrera.....get outta here!

It was a nasty forehead cut. Usually when Marco gets cut, it coagulate right away.

It was a horrible cut, worse than that Guerrero one IMO. Khan should thank his lucky stars the gods shone on him tonight, because he got all the breaks.

I could interpret this in a variety of ways.

Ok, well just to make it clear, let me tell you my intention. You are flogging a dead horse. How many threads do you need to say 'Barrera didn't lose, he wuz robbed he wuz guv'? (I'm well aware that represents neither the pattern of your writing nor most probably your speech)

Seriously Miles, its tedious, yes the cut was a disadvantage, but so what, any fighter getting in the ring knows that's a risk, if it had happened to Khan you wouldn't be saying Barrera didn't earn the victory. Seriously subtract your feelings about MAB, and whatever issue it is you have with Khan, and just accept that Khan did what HE needed to do to win. Barrera knew the score if the cut was that bad he could've called it quits & got a NC. He didn't. So accept it Khan won.

I thought Khan looked awesome. Great offensive prowess and improving defense. To be honest, I never expected much from Barrera tonight (you can check my predictions on that) and I hope he does retire from the fighting part of the game.

What impressed most was how Khan handled the pressure of this event. He was in with a big name opponent who many in the crowd wanted him to lose to in a make or break fight, but he stuck to his game and showed enormous confidence and style. He really put that loss to Prescott behind him.

Even though Barrera was not the old Barrera, Khan passed a major test tonight.
