The hands in the air showboating business was utterly bizarre and seemed like a complete rip off of Manny Pac. It's Manny's routine so it fits him, it just looks ridiculous on Khan though. I didn't like that so much.

Also on watching the fight again its interesting to see how many of Khan's flurries are not landing on Barrera. A lot of stuff just hitting the gloves.
yep. You hear the uproar from the numpties everytime he did that or when barrera stepped back and ducked? I'm sure the lack of screens for the cheapseats made it look like he was getting beat up.
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.
