The clash was unfortunate, but Khan did impress, with less flash and a much better guard.
I missed the last few rounds, are there online video highlights anywhere?
How long will it be before someone uses Khan's chin to have it away from him?

TKO my arse, that was winning by head butt, Khan is very lucky he managed to get that cut in at the beginning. Did anyone listen to the Q + A with Barrera after the fight, he said that he couldn't see on his left side, but, more importantly, he said that he couldn't feel Khan's punches, that they had no power. Barrera only managed to get one combo in that I saw, and that rocked Khan, who immediately released a flurry of point scorers that did nothing to Barrera.
What really pigs me off is the arrogant t*sspot saying "I hope this has silenced my critics...!" I would've loved to have seen him three rounds later if Barrera hadn't been so put off...Unfortunately for Khan the World Champions belt is not awarded for dancing and speed-ball b*tch-slapping, but hey, what am I talking about, he can keep practising his lucky head butts, innit.

so do you think Barrera should have won, or should they have declared it a draw?
Barrera might not have been rocked by Khan's power but he could do nothing about his speed - cut or no cut
and he's a boxer FFS, of course he's arrogant
his display was convincing enough for me that he could have won the fight - Barrera only had one chance and that was to catch Khan's glass jaw
so it would have been a lucky punch against 'speed-ball bitch-slapping' that would have decided the fight 😛
Lost Johnny get a grip. Barrera obviously couldn't handle Khan's power and hand speed. He is hardly going to admit that he can't cope, Barrera has a great chin but he was feeling those punches, he is a legend but he is undoubtedly long past his best. If it had gone longer Barrera would just have got more of a thrashing.
Khan will never silence his critics but with knobs like you about, who can blame him for being pleased when all his hard work pays off. He has swallowed his pride and gone off to the states to train with one of the best coaches in the world. Anyone with the faintest clue about boxing can see that he has improved dramatically and that is down to talent and hard work.
Anyway, speedball bitch slapping and a decent chin worked out fine for Calzaghe didn't it?!
the World Champions belt is not awarded for dancing and speed-ball b*tch-slapping
Actually that is exactly how a belt is won. You do realise boxing is scored on points? The more b*tch slapping the more points.
This isn't some superheavyweight toe to toe weight division?
Khan was impressive, there is no other word for it. The cut was unfortunate, but Khan was quick, solid and did everything a good boxer should (not get hit much and hit them alot).
So he's got a glass jaw, thats why he kept his hands up and defended so well in the few times he had to.
All fair points chaps, I was still disappointed at how it ended from last night, shouldn't have vented, but there you are.
Except for this...
Khan will never silence his critics but with knobs like you about
Quite unnecessary comment Shandy, you don't know me at all.
I wasn't a critic of Khan before this, was gutted when he was downed last time, and I can see that he has improved, and unfortunately we won't be able to see what would have happened should it have gone on.
LJ.
just watched the fight, cheers for the link. Great site!
Khan was like a different fighter! Kept all the best bits but dropped the show. Was a shame about the cut but the clash was pretty much 50/50.
It meant that Barrera should have been a bit more dangerous (never back a mexican or cuban boxer into a corner) as he would have known he could not go 12 rounds so had to hit Khan for a knockout but he still couldn't get close. Was always on the defensive.
So you're sorry for being a bit of a knob, but you don't like being called on it?! Did you have a few drinks?
Being called "a bit of a knob" for being out of line I wouldn't have minded, you made it a personal attack when you said "knobs like you..." Like I said you don't know me, and I've admitted my mistake, what more do you want?. Drinks; yes last night, none today.
LJ.
How big were Khans gloves? they might as well of sent him in with a shield!
Still not convinced, the only thing you cant train in a fighter is his chin and he doesnt have one.
He may be a world champion one day if they find another old man with not much punch left for him to fight. Only hyped so much because of his ethnic origin, Calzaghe was a world champion for 10 years and retired undefeated but because he was white the media showed hardly any interest in him until the last couple of years of his career.
pro boxers dont slap...ever!
trust me they work in a timezone we cant comprehend.
used to love to box.
boxed at fincley and st albans clubs
the cut ruined the fight.full stop.
easy to fight a guy who can opnly see punches from one side
Carl Froch is a good fighter and hes a world champion, anyone heard of him?
yeah.
he was commentating with macgugian
he doesnt rate Khan either, an unrealistic proposition I think he called him.
Who's the current world champ in khans division - lightweight? is it pacquio
but because he was white the media showed hardly any interest in him
I don't understand that. Care to explain for me please?
one of them
