Khan v Barrera

If the fight didn't get stopped by the cut to Barrera's head would this have turned out like Julio Cesar Chavez v Meldrick Taylor?

 

no because chavez didnt have gallons of blood coming down his face.

 

Sorry I should have rephrased that. If Barrera wasn't bothered by the cut.

 

No.

Barrera would have been stopped in about the 8th/9th.

 

no khan had a way longer reach then barrera , he would of just outboxed him all night long, barrera was way too past it as it was anyway

 

probly nbot but even with the cut marco was starting to time. it shud have been a no contest any way

 

Probably not. Should have been a NC, prime Barrera beats Khan with his left hand tied behind his back, blindfolded.

 

Apart from the 18 pound weight difference.

 

Truth is Khan was still at 135 in that fight where he was probably weakened from making weight and also he was still green under Roach and haden't improved much.

Barrera was starting to tag him more and more and is a 12 round fighter while with Khan you used to get taht feeling that as the fight would go on he would be more vulnerable.

The ref conveniently waited for the 4th round to finish and then stopped it in the 5th. A disgrace to boxing and a win that should be stricken from Khan's record.


that cut was no worse in the 5th than it was when it happened.

 

Yes, Barrera wouldve cracked that chin wide open.

 

Forget prime, Barrera from 130lbs moves up 5lbs and defeats Khan.
