Got a £10 bet with my workmate - Khan to win!

Khan going from fighting a bunch of nobodies (inc. Presoctt) to fighting Barrera, albeit a shot Barrera. He was fighting just a few weeks ago and not long ago in China. There are definite chances it's a set-up for the local guy, against a semi-retired name fighter looking for a last pay day and pension. A but like Tszyu-Hatton. Remember the Khan-Kindelan rematch was a set-up.

if it's not then Barrera by brutal KO.

 

Twat.

 

Thats all it is. Roach has told Warren that MAB is too old, too slow and too small to beat Khan and to make the match before someone else gets an impressive looking win on their record at MABs expense. Whether Roach is correct in his opinion is, of course, open to debate...

Any comparions to Zoo-Hatton are a little stretched to say the least....

 

We have to wait and see about the Refs performance before we compare it to Hatton-Tszyu.

Who is the Ref?

 

Nowt wrong with the ref for Hatton-Zoo.....;O)

 

Parris had a shocker that night. Although that is the wrong word since it implies it was human error.

Howard Foster is just as bad.

I hope for neither of these clowns and a fair performance.

 

Nonsense, we've been though all this BS. Its was a rough fight, both fighters fouled, Paris carries the can around here for a lot of people getting their pick totally wrong for that fight...

 

I didn't exist so I didn't get it wrong. What about when Hatton nodded at him??

You can put one performance down to human error but then we get another one from H. Foster and there is a recurring theme.

Not to mention performances of Brit refs in Khan's fight where they count extra slow and are desperate to help him in any way possible.

I honestly think Brit refs are the worst in the world for favouring home fighters, particularly big money fighters.

 

As a great man (I forget who) once said, "Its not a tickling contest in there". Wise words indeed....:good

 

Fair play. I suppose Barrera was correct to ram Hamed's head into a ring post. This ain't UFC, Marquess of Queensbury rules my friend!! :good

 

That "nodding" thing got brought up by certain people after the Lascano fight and I didn't see it then either. Either way one nod (that could mean anything/ nothing) doesn't make a biased ref, its not as Paris he was pulling Zoo up for infractions he was letting Hatton get away with, that fight was just a rough and tumble brawl and the ref let them both get on with it as much as possible.

 

I know stylistically you don't tend to like the rough stuff but I think its a valid tactic when a boxer is trying to impose himself in a fight. I think Zoo-Hatton is a good example, both fighters roughing each other up and the ref only intervening when the stone wall fouls occurred for the low blows (which Zoo instigated BTW).
