If Khan wins tonight,NO EXCUSES PLEASE!

[Gandalf]

I am amazed by some of the things I am reading on here. Seemingly rational posters are coming out with the most absurd things.

Khan has proven NOTHING with that win and was bloody lucky he has Barrera's scalp on his resume. His reactions to the fight are arrogant and deluded, I can't see Khan going too far at all. Seriously.

Barrera was moving and boxing well untill the cut, I counted one left hand from Khan landing prior to the cut.

Even with the cut Marco was blocking many shots with his gloves, he had no choice but to fight defensive as he could not see properly. Barrera is a warrior, of course he won't give up. Which takes me to my next point.

The fight is now in the hands of the referee and/or the ringside doctor. They all fucking failed IMO.

If people can't see that, I suppose were in a very small minority Miles.

Speaking of Barerra blocking shots with his gloves how many was he landing on Khan in the first round before the headbutt?

Anyway, what you fail to see is the fact that Barerra wasn't going to outbox Khan. The only way he was gonna win was by a one punch knockout. Khan was being too fast for him and had a good defense up as well when Barerra would throw a majority of them landed on Khan's gloves as well. And when Barerra went for broke Khan whethered it well.

Like i said that cut only brought out the urgency in Barerra 4 or so rounds sooner then it would have Khan.

Barerra wasn't gonna outbox nor impose his will on Khan. So if you want to come up with a way he'd have won even without the cut I applaud you.

You are reading into what happened based on the cut. Like Kel pointed out, Barrera was totally in it in the first prior to the cut. He wasn't being pushed onto the back foot, he was slipping and ducking the jab to get inside effectively. Khan definitely would have started faster than Barrera but to say even without the cut it would have been the same is mere speculation.

I read it differently.
