Naz: "Wear headgear. Wicked"

 

Amir Khan: Revenge of the Nazi's

 

I honestly can't tell whether you're being sarcastic here. I would say it would be more analogous to taking advice from Kessler on how to beat Calzaghe. All those johnny come latelies who have probably never seen Hamed fight but bang on about how he was "owned" or "humiliated" by Barrera haven't seen the fight. Sure, if you take into context Hamed's proclamations of greatness and the fact that he was the favourite, the loss probably was a bit embarrassing. Nonetheless, he won probably 4 rounds, broke Barrera's nose and took part in a two-sided bout. If that had been some unknown up and coming contender rather than Hamed (who everyone loved to hate due to his abrasive personality), people would have been hailing his strong showing.

The fight was nothing remotely resembling Calzaghe-Lacy. Whilst Hamed was beaten fairly, he may well have spotted some technical flaws, some vulnerability in Barrera which Khan could exploit (I rather doubt it admittedly, by that stage of his career. Hamed's grasp of tactics amounted to "get in there and bang him out"). I would agree with the poster who said it can't do any harm, though Khan shouldn't make the mistake of over relying on Hamed's guidance, specifically bearing in mind that his fighting style is nowhere like the Prince's.

Oh well, at least we get to see one of the greatest fighters of the modern era in the flesh on British shores and I'm going

He's taking the ****.

There isn't a bigger Hamed fan on here, or someone who knows as much about his career, as Hoya.

Hamed was a heavy..heavy...VERY HEAVY...favorite. It was largely one-sided, and if not for the point reduction, the cards would have reflected that.

It was a one-sided fight though.

 

If Amir comes to the ring on a flying carpet,spends 35 minutes complaining about the gloves and he gets absolutely twatted we know Naz'z words of wisdom have had some effect. Perhaps he'll fight Manny Calvo next too?

 

That's the point I was making, it wasn't. Regardless of the point deduction, the scoring in rounds (I think) was 9-3, 8-4 and 8-4 again. I.e Hamed won 3 or 4 rounds depending on your way of looking at it. If that is one-sided then are we saying that there is only a 7-5 points victory which isn't? If the fighter he was in the ring with had been an upcoming prospect or an unknown rather than Hamed we would all have been saying how well he had done. All this talk of humiliations, schoolings and ownage is based solely around the surrounding circumstances and the fact that a lot of people had been waiting a along time to see Hamed fail, rather than by objective analysis of the fight itself.

I think the odds were between 2-1 and 5/2 for Barrera so Hamed was hardly a heavy favourity, MAB was a pretty live underdog. Put that into context, Mosley was 4/1 versus Margo.

 

....also starring Audley Harrison as Winston Churchill.

 

Yes! this is more like it.

It's Pay Back ha ha

 

Khan will beat MAB easily. This smells of a FW setup from a mile away so his golden boy can once again claim to be top ***** in the LW division.

 

Lets all forget that Naz by the time of the MAB fight had a huge ego and hardly trained for the fight. It says it all that an ill prepared Naz went 12 rounds with MAB. How many other fighters could **** about in the build up and go 12 with MAB ? Just shows how good Naz really was in that he managed 12 rounds when he had not trained properly for years at that stage of his career.

 

Any footage of Barerra in the UK

 

gotta agree the barerra absense during the build up stinks also
