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

[iwng100]

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, 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.

Just give him a little credit for this please, it cost you nothing. Anyway, I predicted and I wanted a Barrera win too but Khan did nothing wrong.

A few hours have passed and I'm gradually adjusting. Khan showed a lot of positive things and he was outboxing Barrera with his size. He was winning the fight no doubt.

I have probably come across as bitter, but that bitterness is not really with Khan. Khan did what he had to do and he got the result.

My concerns are with the circumstances of the win. What's done is done though.

Was it as bad and busted up as it sounds?The quintessential crossroads fight.Was the cut the same one intentionally delivered in Barreras last fight by the 1-8 no hoper ??

Whatever the case,Barrera needs to retire.He has zero to prove and his career and status remain intact,to be respected and admired a great Champion.We as fans should be grateful for the many memories he has provided.I am glad that he did not try to politic or massages the rules .......He is a warrior,and I'm betting that he believed deep down he could win,cut or no cut,thus he continued on like a Champ.Have to respect that.Congrats to Khan....sounds like he may have matured and did exactly what he needed to do in executing his game plan.It was his day and merits acknowledgment.

Would have loved to see Enzo getting starched,Ola strikes me as an oddity,Fancy's himself a huge hitter despite the record.
