But when he fights a proper top level lightweight he's going to outspeed and outpoint them but will inevitably get sparked at some point in the twelve rounds. If it wasn't for his mandible he could be a world beater. He's extended the big payday portion of his career for a few fights with that performance though. Maybe he can get through a couple of world title fights without somebody managing to land on his chin but I doubt it.

There was barely a couple minues of boxing so we cant call that domination . I dont think Barrera landed a decent shot on Khan cuz he was blinded but at the end of the fight Khan looked like he had been in a scrap . Imagine if Barrera was able to see where he was landing his punches and Khan couldnt see em coming cuz he was blinded. It would be a totally different fight .
