Another kahn critic

[GAME]

Barrear has said that Khan doesnt have any power but he has fast hands and he would of won the fight if it wasnt for the cut but i surpose most fighters would say that.

Does any1 know if the cut is in the same area as the cut in his last fight,if it is it proves that it should av had a bit longer to heal and there gamble never paid off imo.

Where did you hear that ?

Yeah Khan was copying Pac with that waving the arms in the air thing . Hope he keeps it up

[clintuk]

I'm sure the arm in the air thing was just arm loosening as someone said, I've never known khan to showboat before, normally he does what is needed and doesn't rub anything in his opponents face.

Yeah, considering Pac only started doing it after he started with Roach, I think it may be a method of Freddie's to keep his fighters loose

Barrera said Khan had no power right after the fight on the ringside interview.

He was having a job keeping up with Khans flurries but he was getting more and more in to the fight as the rounds went by, even with the blood.

Khan was telling everyone that Roach has taught him how to defend, all he did was keep his hands up a bit more, he moves in straight lines and when walked back, does nothing.

The next lightweight Khan fights with any power he gets knocked out again, there were a couple of moments last night where Khan leaped in and grabbed, like Macaranelli did.

I was laughing like fuuck at that, if Khan had lost that would have been all of Warrens main players ko'd last night

Goes to show that Warren has no class fighters left, he must have been on tender hooks that Khan would pull through.

As for Maccaranelli losing by KO, that shows how poor his chin is, the guy that beat him has lost to Allan Green!!

[feeney]

I wouldnt say all of warrens fighters got taken away, he has degale, saunders, frankie gavin, these three will make him a load of money, warren will be fine promoters always are. Kahn has showboated before but probably got told not to do it again as he got bood it was against daniel thorpe actually nice kid from shefield. I thought it was showboating as when barrera hit him he backed off then did the wave thing then attacked. Anyway hollow victory imo.

[BoomBoom]

Truthfully, both guys got screwed because of the cut. It wasnt a huge win for Kahn and it wasnt a huge loss for Barrera. It was a poor result, plain and simple.

[NUCLEAR BULL]

truth is does anyone honesly think warren would have made the fight if barrera had anything left in the tank?? those of us who have watched boxing in the uk in the last 15 years would know the answer..........no............when you look at it..its a typical khan fight....barrera's, smaller, coming up in weight, in his 30's and shot, and not a big puncher..........the only time khan was in there with someone natural at the weight and same saize as him with some pop..............he got toasted in under 60sec

It's not a typical Khan fight its typicial of ANY fighter.

Every prospect, every world champ, every fighter who has the bargaining power will manufacturer fights to be as much in their favour as possible, and if they don't then they are with the wrong promotors.

Look at Floyd, when he fought Coralles he insisted the fight took place at super feather as Diego was struggling to keep at that weight. Manny brought Oscar down to 147, Floyd brought Ricky up to 147.

B Hop brought Oscar, Tito and Pavlik up to fight him on his terms.

EVERY fighter who is expected to have a decent world class career is carefully managed, if they are not then his team are simply not doing their job.

Khan is only 22. He already has wins over a legend in Barrera, an ex world champ in Gary St. Clair. He's won the Commonwealth title and has wins over decent domestic opposition like Graham Earl, Michael Gomez, Willie Limond etc.

Show me another 22 year old fighter in the world who has a more impressive resume and who isn't thought of a potential superstar and world class.

No doubt you will reply 'well Floyd Mayweather was already fighting......blah blah blah', well if that's the lengths you have to go to compare him, against the greatest fighter of the last decade, a 6 weight undefeated world champ, an all time great and a first ballot Hall of Famer, then it kind of only highlights how absurd and over the top the criticisms of Khan are.
