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

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.

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..

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.

[:::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!

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.

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 think your wrong, Barrera looked pretty good before the clash, he was reading Khan quite well and looked cute. I only watched a stream so it was hard to make out how bad the cut was.

[paddy448]

i predicted that mab would knock khan out. fuck the cut khan looked so much improved tonight and no 1 can deny that.i always thought khan could be world class i just thought his chin would not take him to that level. look maybe he is chinny, but a solid defence can always compensate 4 that. i like khan i think he can do big things with roach. all this hate , bollocks to it

[ElTerribleMorales]

it's not hate on my part, i thought he looked good, just he looked good against an old shot Barrera, i said before the fight was bad for Khan no matter what, he won, but like i said, Barrera looked bad, it was hard to see a guy who was known for being so accurate and so crafty, be all the opposite, yea Khan should be given credit for all of his improvement, just don't think they should blow him up to be the next big thing till he takes on a REAL PRIME lightweight, call me crazy but i'd actually like to see Khan up against Raheem
