    Well, if you don't like him, you don't like him.

    But what about those boos he got during the ring entrance?

    Getting booed at home, by people from your neighborhood basically, that must have been rough.

    This oftens happens after a fight. Guys make bold predictions beforehand, and when they're wrong, they claim the other fighter was shot and the win doesn't really matter.
    If they were such smart boxing fans, they would have had the foresight to realize before the fight that MAB was shot, and not use it as an excuse afterwards to cover up their lousy predictions.

    Well he didn't freeze in the biggest fight of his career and he's learned to get his hands back to protect his chin after he punches.

    I noticed that too.

    For the record, I predicted a MAB SD win, but was rooting for Khan to at least do well and last the whole match, win or lose.

    I thought that was pretty bizarre/disgusting to be honest. The guy deserves some support through his comeback from a bad KO loss. Booing fighters on their way to the ring just isn't acceptable. Their bravery should be respected and admired.

    I know. A lot of people said that.

    And a good share of people picked MAB to win. I don't generally pick shot fighters to win fights, but maybe they do.

    Absolutely right, but if whats put in from of his is a fighter that can only see out of one eye for the vast majority of the fight is inevitably going to lead to this kind of discussion. He did what he had to do, but it still didn't prove anything, his forehead won the fight.

    Khan looked good,he was sharp his shots were good and well timed.Barrera is a legend but looked small he is not and never was a lightweight.Amir has shown he can fight as a pro,and that is good,he has learend under Roach and looks a decent fighter.

    He proved hes got great speed and foot work, he was very sharp from the get go and MAB has always had trouble with fast guys that can use the ring. MAB didnt have a ****ing chance cut or no cut. Now MAB can go celebrate in Manchester!

    A hard puncher always has a chance against an opponent with below average chin. Even if he's down on the cards, as long as there's still some time, he'll still have a chance.

    Well then its a punchers chance isnt it? In that case I agree but I'm talking about the fight over all fight.
