All Khan proved is....

[Hulk]

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 had typed out a whole paragraph evaluating the fight. But of course I clicked submit reply and it fucked me.

So I'm just gonna say this:

FUCK THAT CUT!

It messed up the whole fight and took away from Khan's win, and Barrera's chance to win.

I've just watched it again and there is no doubt in my mind that the cut ruined what should have been a very good fight. Barrera was looking like normal prior to it happening. His movement was good, slipping punches well, setting up his own punches. Once the cut was open it got messy.

That was not a shot Barrera by any means. Khan was gifted that opportunity and took it with both hands. I don't think he can beat even this version of Barrera actually. I would definitely like to see a rematch and for Barrera to give a proper account of himself.

Khan hasn't proven himself a better fighter than Barrera. Anyone with that kind of cut would have been bothered and had to stop. I'm not dissing Khan, but I am saying that his win does not satisfy me.

And look at round 4 where the doctor is looking at Barrera and the blood is flowing. The doctor is saying something to Barrera. Regardless, the fight should have been stopped right there. With or without Barrera's consent.

Khan is a lucky man to get a win like that. It doesn't take skill to break someones head open and tarnish a potentially very decent fight.
