Kahn Barrera rd by rd

bookmakers pay tko then rather than points?

 

they'll pay you with an ounce of marcos blood as a consolation.
happy now?

 

I would wonder why the corner didn't pull barrera out after the first couple of rounds. If that was Khan with the cut it would have ended early possibly most corners would. I can only imagine they wanted bets to hold or something, if barrera thought it should have been stopped he should have mentioned to his corner.Seems like the doctor was confused when he first inspected the cut, as the commentary seemed pretty clear that it was a terrible cut.

 

it went to the scorecards so Khan won on points

 

No lads, it wasn't.

It was an accidental clash of heads.

Accidental as it was, having watched it in slo-mo a few times now, if there was any blame, it should be attached to MAB.


And it was a fig-leaf blessing for the Mexican.

He was being schooled justb as badly the first two minutes of the fight, as he was after the cut.

Unless he managed to land something big on Khan's shakey chin, he was on his way to a humiliating stoppage anyway.

(And no, Khan was never 'rocked.' On two ocassions, he was caught flush and reacted as one with a dodgy chin would be expected to, but not close to being hurt).

 

Is there any way of seeing a picture of this cut or is it too soon after the fight?

 

Nice performance by Khan! His style is kinda similar to Pac's right now, probably influenced by Roach. The kid got talent, hope he improves his chin and power. Good job by Freddie btw.

 

Sums it up just about perfectly imo.

 

Barrera wasnt hurt but he was stunned.

 

He took it jim!he took it!
