Anyone here think Barrera would have had a better than average chance of beating Khan

    Probably not, but it would've made it more interesting.

    Nah Khan would have had him out of there in another few rounds.

    No way, Khan had him backing up and was way too fast from the off.

    With Khan there's always the chin issue but Barrera is not a massive puncher, certainly not at LW

    So no, the cut just spoiled Khan's method of victory really

    Khan was in a totally different class to MAB.

    nah, not really.
    it seemed to me like he was getting outboxed anyway, the cut just speeded things up.

    Barrera couldnt see out of that cut how could he see khan coming.

    wasnt it funny the cut never got worse but they didtn stop it in the third but they stopped it in the 6th, something is fishy barrera should have been stopped in the 3rd for a ND. Barrera is still a true mexican great and that fight was a hollow victory

    Better than average?

    Nah. Better, but still not 50/50. Speed-wise he was just left standing.

    GPater - we don't have NCs before 4 rounds on accidental cuts here.

    No chance, Khan is a much better fighter.

    khan would have beat him anyway tonight..

    but he would never have manhandled a prime barrera like that.
