don King protests Khan Win

[Hulk]

This reminds me of the time King tried to get Buster Douglas's win over Tyson overturned on account of Douglas receiving a long count before he came back and KO'd Tyson.

God what a stand up guy Don is.

Crusader for justice right there.

Bloody hell!

Excellent news. At the very least Barrera deserves an immediate rematch.

[Gandalf]

I don't think anyone can dispute the fact that the cut was awful and spoiled a decent little matchup. Khan got the win, but he didn't really beat anyone. I only saw one fighter wobbled after all.

If the commisions have any sense of decency we will see a rematch ordered. The loss is annoying, as I don't think it was just, but I could tolerate that just as long as the opportunity to make amends was granted to Barrera and sooner rather than later. A rematch within 6 months would suffice.

It seems a Barrera rematch is not going to happen if Khan gets his way. Comments like this never fail to endear me to Khan: “So if I beat an over-the-hill fighter again what would it mean — nothing.” Classy guy, Amir Khan. Just as it says in the caption underneath his picture.

Khan seems to really believe that this "win" meant something and that he can move on and be happy that he has a legend on his resume. What a poser! A win by default, it should have been a NC. David Diaz is extremely limited and Khan should manage to outbox him. You never know though. He has unfinished work with Barrera though, so it is disappointing that he would leave a contest with so many question marks hanging over it. A sad reflection on Khan and his management. They lack integrity through and through, Warren always has. Some of his fighters have shown higher qualities though.

Hopefully Barrera can come back within six months and fight a decent top 10 opponent and get himself back in the frame for a title shot. I don't think Barrera is quite done yet, and may still be able to claim a belt at 135 before calling it a day. All it takes is a decent win to get him back in the mix, and the questionable nature of Khan's win will always hang heavy over the last fight, which again will work in his favour.

To be fair, what he said is true.

Only in the eyes of some hardcore boxing fans did Khan not win fair and square.

Whether it was solely down to the cut or not Barrera just didn't make it close enough. So you wont create the same buzz, you wont sell 20,000 tickets and you wont sell the PPV.

The rematch is never gonna happen in a million years.

I'm with Fenster, he didn't say MAB was over the hill, but that was what people had said after he beat him, so if he did again he would get even less credit. If Khan gets a world title, then Barrera has to get a win over a decent opponent to get back in the mix for a rematch.

Only in the gutter press have they been saying that. The letters page in Boxing News and numerous well known boxing forums think otherwise.

The fight will sell. Khan fans will shell out for anything, Barrera fans know he got stiffed.

Khan picks up bauble title, Barrera/King press for rematch, Barrera gets his title at 4th weight
