Amir Kahn Opinions & Who Should Be Up Next?

[Gandalf]

lol. I would love to see that 1 round fight.


Marquez looked outgunned for a couple of rounds and clawed his way back and ko'd the younger/stronger/faster guy.

The cut changed everything. Barrera was never hurt.

I agree totally, I'm sure Khan could box to a decision, but Marco would have had his moments later on, he was bothered less than JMM was in the earlier rounds by JD. Barrera clearly isn't as quick as he used to be, but he didn't turn up to just roll over for a payday.

I just watched the fight again sober (i really need to be sober more often).

Barrera wasn't getting beaten as bad as I drunkenly thought. I missed the lefthook at the end of the 2nd that shook Khan and had him grabbing on for dear life . Barrera done Khans legs in the 4th too (which i had originally seen).

I never realised how badly the cut HURT Barrera. His back peddling to the ropes allowed Khan to pressure him for a good minute and completely swing the round.

This is a silly thing to say but - without the cut and the premature forced ending we could be talking about a different result. Khan is only ever one punch away from kipping.

Good to hear that. I'm stunned by these people who think that Khan "dominated" Barrera. Considering the circumstances it is no surprise that Khan was able to win the rounds and he did win the rounds. But even then Barrera showed he was there and wasnt being hit all that cleanly at all.

The cut ruined it, and for Khan to run his gobby little mouth saying he would have "brutally" knocked Barrera out shows a complete lack of class. He seems to be a prat, and I look forward to seeing him flat on his back again...which will be sooner rather than later judging by recent history.

I'm really annoyed having read that BBC interview with Khan you posted yesterday. Khan certainly doesnt know how to show respect or try to muster support from the doubters. Screw him!
