    How does saying it should've been a NC equate to being anti-Khan? Khan was doing a GREAT job. But unfortunately, there was a clash of heads that caused a huge gash that was pumping out blood and affecting Barrera's ability to fight normally. This is no knock on Khan. Get a grip, Khanites. Khan's good and will continue to rise. (He's a bit chinny, so he has to be careful of that). But boxing is unpredictable, and unfortunately for all, the clash of heads changed everything.

    Khan's not a bit chinny he's shockingly chinny.

    Had the fight been declared a NC it would have been great for Barrera's record (and my betting slip). But the fact is it wasn't. Barrera was given the chance to exploit that unbelievably fragile chin. He didn't. He couldn't. He ran out of time. That's the way she goes.

    All this talk of Barrera wanting the No-contest he should have quit in the second round,I`m not 100 percent sure but,if Barrera or his team quit before the 4th,it would have been ruled A tko LOSS for barrera,and not A nc,I believe that this is what the ref and ringside guy was telling him in his ear.I could be wrong but either way the fight is tainted because of that gash PERIOD,sorry Khan fans,and anyway not too much should be made if Khan got A clean victory over Marco,the guy is 35 years old,has plates in his head,has been in some of the fiercest wars,and was fighting last night outside of his weight class,against A much bigger opponent,after saying all that,i must say that last night was the first time I have seen Khan,and he looks Dam good to me,one of the strongest looking Lightweights I have ever seen,Great speed,hard punches,could be very tough for anybody he fights.I dont hold his KO loss against him,anybody can get caught in A Fight and get stopped,just ask Vic Dar,and look what he has gone on to do.
