I didn't see Barrera get beaten up in there like others seem to have seen. I saw a bad cut from a clash of heads and 4 and a half rounds where Barrera was on the back foot more than normal due to having blood spilling down his face and into his eye. Even then like I pointed out, Barrera was still pretty effective defensively. Khan couldn't get him out of there whatsoever.
Barrera was not beaten up and was an extremely unlucky victim of circumstance. This victory was an empty one. If Khan takes any pride in this win, then I pity him.
But of course, he has my full credit for winning 4 1/2 rounds against a handicapped Barrera. I will give him his dues there.![]()
I give Khan credits for having the tougher skin...It's an accidental and unintentional forehead against brow area clash and it's unfortunate for Barrera to develop that bad cut while Khan was lucky to have a very small cut... Tougher skin indeed...
.
I can still remember a fighter who fought Morales thrice. During their first encounter, that fighter had the same cut from a headbutt. He fought the whole twelve rounds with all his heart, blood gushing on his face and, alas, lost by UD. He was given the chance to redeem himself and TKoed Morales in the 10th round in their second fight.
Morales was given the credit for winning against him despite the fact that his opponent was also blinded by blood.
I don't see any reason why I would not give Khan the same credit.![]()

Just giving my opinion dear Missy. I know that the cut especially the blood have affected Barrera's performance. Any fighter would be distracted by that cut. What i was saying was that I still give Khan his credit for winning even just for 4 rounds coz people were expecting him to be taken out in the early rounds.
I know you're a MOD here and I respect that. The idiot thing seems to be foul though.

I stand corrected. They don't have the same cuts. Barrera's cut was in the forehead and this fighter's cut is dangerously near to his eyes. Almost same amount of blood though.
Anyway, for whatever Khan did, he surely deserves credit from me for not being KOed in those 4 rounds.

I'm trying to be nice and not get involved in heated Manny Pac threads for a while, but Manny Pac keeps getting into the threads that have nothing to do with Manny Pac!!![]()
yeah having a cut on the outside eyebrow is exactly the same as having a 2" gash in your face from the 1st round. No. I upgrade you from idiot to moron. Do not call me dear.
And seriously do not turn every thread in to a Pac thread. Respect that.
