However much I dislike Khan and his "face of muslim britain" image, I think cut or no cut he would have beaten Barrera over the 12 rds. I knew Khan would dominate the early rounds but was expecting MAB to come back into it in the second half of the fight. Respect to MAB, he will always be one of my favourite fighters. Heres to hoping Khan gets his face caved in in his next fight !
Agreed, but like I said the cut really took everything out of barrera and made for a boring 1 sided fight
Yea the fight was messed up by the cut. and I did say before the fight that if it goes on theres more chance of khan getting caught thats y his gameplan would be to try n stop it earlier. besides if khan did get tired in like the 8th round i can almost gaurantee that he would have got on his bike and stole the decision becuase he would have raked the first 8 rounds.
:-( I still think Kahn wins. I think he is just to fast for Barrera... even though I agree NC round 1
should have been a NC....the doctor would have rather let Barrera die before deciding to stop the fight before the 4th round!! Khan still looks like a KO waiting to happen, the 2 times Barrera hit hit him his legs went! Bring on Prescott 2
Well that only shows that you have interest with Khank since you've watched him for several times. Oome on man, admit it!!!
I don't understand why Khan gets so much hate. He's got a good attitude/self belief, a watchable style, fast hands, nice combos etc. I don't think he'll make it to the top due to his punch resistance, but I don't get why he gets so much abuse!
No he didn't... his handspeed wasn't there and he had trouble getting his punches off, but he DID land that left hook twice and both times Khan was wobbling a little bit. I think MAB would have gotten him out of there sooner or later, just as soon as he connected with a clean one. That said, Khan looked HUGE next next to MAB. Marco needs to drop back down to FW or at least 130 if he wants to keep going.
