Anybody else going to see Barrera/Khan live?

A common misconception at ESB is that Selfkill is actually a Mexican. This is obviously due to the fact that all my favorite fighters are from Mexico City (a huge coincidence). In any event, Selfkill is actually from United Kingdom and this fight gives him a chance to see his favorite fighter of all time fight in the flesh. I'm so stoked. I'm going with my dad, and this is the first fight I would have been to see.

Anybody else going to see this fight from the UK and cheering on the Mexican?

 

I am selfkill. :good

 

I was planning on coming in a Barrera T-shirt. I hear what you are saying, though.

**** the British people, half of 'em don't even know the sport exists outside the confines of Britain. I should tell 'em that's where all the action is.

 

I think that would have been a terrible disservice to Boxing and Barrera had Cortez disqualified Marco for that. He took the necessary action by deducting a point, and then the schooling continued. A great night for Barrera, a great night for Mexico, and a great night for Boxing. Hamed wasn't exactly playing it fair all night either. Hitting and holding, pulling Marco to the ground, and back handing.

 

And he was punished accordingly. Hamed was getting shown up all night.

You British?

 

In the event Barrera gets two points deducted, he still wins the fight.

You're clutching at straws.

 

You would have been happy to see Marco get disqualified for that?

Even if I wasn't a huge Marco fan, I can't relate to a Boxing fan wanting to go that far.

 

That's your opinion.

I'm with Jim Lampley and the majority of the Boxing community.

"It was sensational". :happy
