what a shit night for boxing!!

Nicky getting withdrawn from a fight that should not of been stopped so close to the end of the round
Cook was seriously hurt and out on his feet. The ref has no way of knowing how many seconds are left in the round. His job is to protect the guy's life and well-being. BTW, I loved the outcome of the fight, so it's all relative.

Enzo Mac getting suckerpunched by a guy he is far superior than

Barrera having the misfortune of having to fight khan with only one seeing eye

Fight being ruled a khan win after not even 5 completed rounds

main event turning into a complete anti climax that didnt deliver anything
This I'll sort of agree with. I think everyone would've wanted the fight to occur without the anti-climax of that huge gash that changed the complexity of the whole fight. Shame, it would've been a tremendous fight.







FYI - Yes i am indeed a very bitter boxing fan this afternoon

Shit night for boxing? Or shit night for you as a fan? Remember, boxing's all about perspective. I've taken the liberty of commenting on a couple of your statements above.

(Also, I thought the Hall-Pryce fight was pretty entertaining).

Actually it was a great night for British boxing.

The reality is that on the world stage Khan is the only one that will generate any money and stateside interest, he won a dominant win over Barrera and won't suffer at all from the fact that Barrera was cut, Khan will likely become the cash cow for everyone at 135 who wants a big payday and can't get Manny to fight them.

Already I'd imagine JM Marquez would make far more money fighting Khan than he would anyone else, Manny excluded.

As for Enzo, he's a nice fella but shockingly poor as a 'world class' fighter, he's domestic level at best imo, and has just benefited from picking up very easy belts.

As to his loss being bad for Britiain, his opponent was also British, and a Londoner, which as an Englishmen is far more preferable to having a Taff represent us.
