Khan vs Barerra Questions answered!!

Yeah, I mentioned DLH-Chavez too.

But I also think the cut would've opened without the headbutt, with all the punches Amir threw and landed, just a round or two later. He didn't land jaw cracking shots, but the tune-up cut area (never properly healed) was in a bad position, anything landed higher than the nose area or slipped/ducked punches would've opened it up sooner or later, and it'd have been ruled a TKO. That's why I picked Khan by TKO, not because of punching power or something.

 

A. Cut or no cut, Barerra was clearly getting beaten and would have lost more rounds than khan. Most likely would have lost a descision.


you cant say that though really can you seeing as he was cut so early.we didnt see much of a fight before the cut so thats a moot point.

 

Khan look great before the cut. It is clearly he is too fast for him.

 

I thought Khan boxed well.He was clearly wining the fight.The cut was an accident,he looked the best he has since turning prk Barrera was past it but he was still dangerous and had plenty of expierence.Khan looks good under Freddie Roach.

 

maybe but its stretching it abit sayin barrera would've lost a decision with no cut after only a couple of minutes.

 

The fight didn't prove a damn thing.

Khan ain't world class.

 

exactly,sports network will build the rest of khans career on his b.s hollow win last night guaranteed.:-(

 

Agreed. I think in the circumstances Warren and the like would've considered it a better end all round for Kahn to get the win on his record, and also for the viewers and spectators to see a result (especially the 'Coming of Age' story they wanted).

IMO, if anything i think the cut does more favours for Barrera than Kahn, as it overshadows the fact that Kahn (on all the evidence on show last night) would've beaten him fairly comfortably.

So yeah, not really fair or sporting, which sucks for a legend like MAB, but that's the business I suppose.

 

Can the Barrera nuthuggers dry their tears and stop moaning. Khan did all he could from his point of view...nothing more we could ask from him. That is all. Did his job, SIMPLE AS.

 

Stopped reading there :good.

 

Before the cut and even round 2 and 3 after the cut when it wasnt that much of a problem Khan was too sharp too fast and too elusive for Barrera. Cut was really bad in the 4th and 5th but not nearly as bad before that. Barrera himself seemed shocked and confused with Khans speed in the first round.

 

Thank you finally somebody with some sense AbasKhan. I agree 100% with your post.

 

It's sore losers like this that makes one more idiotic than they really are... Stop whining and give the man the credit that a win deserves. :tong
