    It shows what type of man Barrera is when many fighters would have allowed themselves to be pulled out before the 5th.

    If there was ever a fight that should have been called a NC, this was it...

    DId anyone else notice that Khan looked every bit as marked up as Barrera did after the fight?

    As for Khans showboating,, what was all that about???

    I feel sorry for Marco, they should have let him go out on his shield rather then pull him out early...

    what do you mean "they" should have let him go out on his shield?
    Isn't he the one that unretired?

    What? the fight should have ended in the first. Horrible cut, should have been ruled a NC.

    I agree with you mate, the fight should have been called a NC.... But seeing as they didnt stop it in the first 4 rounds they should have let the fight go on...

    MAB was never gonna quit...

    MAB is a legend, but i would have been happier if the fight would have been stopped in the first round, didn't like to see a former world champion having his ass beaten and handed to him.

    I dread to see the diluded british tabloids printing dribble such as " Khan stops Barrera in 5" etc, etc to the casual fan it adds fuel to the Khan hype and discredits the once great MAB.

    Barrera wanted out early doors, obviously he wouldnt embarass himself & just quit but when the doctor was asking him how he feels, he kept blinking his eyes similar to in the 1st Pac fight as if to say `****in hell, I cant SAY that I want out but please gonna stop this thing`

    At least thats the way I read the situation.

    They were probably 90% anti-naz fans & 10% MAB fans... still, they all count.
