Well Done Amir Khan

[JazMerkin]

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.

Good points Jaz and actually I think the cut if anything was GOOD for Barrera as it's given him a way out and the chance to lose without his reputation suffering.

I have no doubt Barrera was going to lose that fight cut or no cut, Khan was just better on the night in every single department.

He didn't beat a prime Barrera, he didn't beat a Barrera in his natural weight class, but he DID clearly beat the 35 year old version of Barrera fighting at lightweight, and would do if they were to fight again.
