It all rests with what happened in that first round and the clash of heads. It cocked up everything, and not just for Barrera. It also meant Khan's "win" was marred too. Spoiled a fight that we all thought would be exciting, either as a Khan or Barrera fan. I can't see how anyone is satisfied by that. It's a let down for everyone, surely.

Is Khan sitting at home thinking "I kicked Barrera's arse!". I bloody well hope not! Because he didn't quite do that, did he now?

But, yeah, he got the "all important" win...
I expect so, for a number of reasons that I won't go to now.
This will cheer you both up. Khan's thoughts...

Khan said: "It seemed like I didn't really get out of second gear. I used my brains and boxed him, it seemed so easy. I took him apart, made him look ordinary.

"He was tired and frustrated, you could see it in his face. He didn't want to be in there after three or four rounds. I hurt him a couple of times and won every round.

"If he had stayed in the fight another two or three rounds he would have got knocked out, brutally."
