Amir Khan

[Kendall]

Its not as simple as that. Do you not think the blood in Barrera's eye from an illegal butt may have aided Khan's dominance?

Khan didn't appear to have the power to defeat Barrera in my opinion. Sure he did well, but it was far from a fair fight.

For all Khan's technique and hand speed he failed to ruffle a one-eyed Barrera. The fight should've been a no contest, Khan won nothing in that fight.

 

[Shanks]

If the fella was cut int he first round, wasn't his sight made worse by the blood in the rounds there on after?

I'm all for given credit were its due, and Khan deserves credit for being professional about it, he spotted a weakness (yes a very easy one to spot) and took advantage. Any boxer would have done the same, be it by an accidental clash or by fist, foot fury.

You just wonder what would have been if this fella hasn't been cut by a head clash in the first round, guess that is what most people are trying t debate. Would Khan have managed to stay on his feet, if he had been caught on the chin, properly?

I hope so, buit I would like to see him fight some real challengers, rather than picked out ones.

Bullshit. I think you were watching a different fight. Khan won a lot of plaudits for his performance from boxing pundits and WAS very impressive.
And stop using the blood thing as an excuse, as someone said, he saw the weakness and took advantage, like a professional should do.

Now onwards to bigger and better things for him

I agree with all of this.

Its not a fucking excuse when it is the whole REASON the figh was stopped. It was sustained from an ILLEGAL move - the ref scored it s a headbutt!!.

It should've been a no contest, the move was illegal, the wound was as open in the first as it was in the 5th. Khan boxed well, but he did not ;beat' barrera and never looked likely of flooring him - this a 35 year old man with one eye.

It was simply not a fair fight, Khan didn't take advantage of any weakness - blood poors naturally from an open wound, that had fuck all to do with Khan except for an ILLEGAL headbutt.

 

[haxman]

Lol, Welshie you've just drawn the wrath of Kendall.

To be fair I have to agree with Kendall and the others, and we won't be seeing a rematch as Barrera has nothing to offer Khan anymore.

 

[Welshiespursboyo]

It was a fucking clash of heads, not a headbutt! a 50/50 and Barrerra was unlucky to come off worse! So don't fucking give me this illegal move nonsense, thats utter biased shite.
Khan WON - END OF FUCKING DISCUSSION. BARRERA IS FINISHED AND KHAN CAN MOVE ON AND UPWARDS.

That is ALL that counts. Khan couldn't have done anymore than he did last night - he was professional and quality.

I don't care what you say because you, my friend, are blinkered!

As for Khan "did not beat" him - read the paper/news. It will say Khan won.

As for the fight, I love how so many people thought that Barrera would destroy Khan (not necessarily referring to people on SC so shhh lol) before the fight, yet after the fight, everyone says he's washed up. Which one is it?!

 

[Kendall]

You are the one who is blinkered mate.

The fight was stopped over blood froma wound that was sustained in the first round - if it was stopped then it would've been a no contest. Barrera was getting hit but he continued to look unruffled.

I hope Khan gets dicked on in his next fight because he is one lucky little bastard.

 

[Shanks]

Welshie, maybe you should try discussing without so much annoyance fella.

Most people suggested before the fight that if Khan got hit, he would suffer.

There is no denying the fact that this cut played a huge part in the fight, because that is what caused the fight to stop, giving Khan a Technical Knockout, the ref stopping the fight on the doctors orders.

In fact, there are many that felt the fight should have been stopped much earlier than it was.

Accidental it may have been, but that accidental/illegal move is what wont he fight, not the boxing. Thats not taking anything away from Khan who did win, but it doesn't show that he is this amazing, fantastic boxer, who just a short while ago got knocked out with a sucker punch.

So I'd say it was you who is slightly blinkered, and that everyone else more open midned about it all.

 

[Welshiespursboyo]

You call me blinkered and in the same paragraph, say that! Ha, your obvious anti-Khan bias is pathetic and unflattering, sir.You can hope all you want, but he won't get dicked on. And I look forward to revelling in your misery when Khan proves you wrong In a word... fartballs! :razz::stupid:

 

[Kendall]

British-tinted specs. If it was the other way around you'd be screaming no contest.

I did like Khan, but not now, that was a false victory and he'll be giving it the king dick after that one.

I like my boxing fair and stopping it in the 5th to blood that was present in the first is unfair and unjust, especially as Khan didn't open the wound with a legal blow.

 

[Welshiespursboyo]

Shanks, I'm not really annoyed matey, just having a bit of fun and taking a bit of the proverbial piss.
I stand by my opinion but am not genuingly angry!
No worries, and no offence at all intended, you anti khaners you

Now that's just silly. What did Khan do exactly! Just continue to box until the ref stopped it?!

If you should be taking your frustrations out on anyone its the ref for not no-contesting it. What should AK have done? Put on an eye patch to even things up?!!

hehe

 

[Shanks]

The thing is, I'm not anti Khan, in the slightest.

I just can;t stand by a supposed fantastic fight, when he was just lucky that he got a butt on the fella which ended the fight.

Thats all, thats the real fact that counts anyway.

I am very dissappointed with the powers that be - yes.

But much like when a football team get a dodgy decision you dislike them more. Khan so far has fought nobodies - been knocked out by one in 70 seconds and now has apparently 'won' by landing a few punches over 5 rounds. It just doesn't sit well with me and the fact that they let it go to the 5th (had it been stopped before the 5th it'd have been a 'no contest') leaves a sour taste, as if they purposely waited that long.

That wound was never going to shut, nor did it become worse after the 5th round it was exactly the same on the doc's first inspection as the 2nd, so how they justified the fight carrying on baffles me.

Thats me as well. And the Khan fanatics won't see it and will talk him up like king dick.

He had absolutely no chance of knocking Barrera out, that is something I'm sure of

Sorry mate, but you're wrong there. It was only just before fight time that the odds changed to 5/6 each, they couldn't split them, the days leading up to the fight Khan was the favourite, and the bookies are seldom wrong.

Personally, I thought it would be close, but I did think that Barrera would have too much experience for him in the later rounds.

 

[Shanks]

I suspect, and of course I am often wrong in these predictions, that Khan will generally move from fight to fight by missing the real opponents that might upset him.

I think it is evident that if he gets a good whack on the chin, he will go down, so in that case they will set fights up to give him the best possible chance of a win.

There is no doubt he is talented, but not so tough at taking it, so whilst he can put some boxers down, there is a good chacne he could go down too.

Thats why, I believe he is just average, and that the management level will make sure he gets the title's and the defenses from your more average boxer.

Suppose you could compare to an Audley, not even close to Hamed.

 

[Kendall]

He is an unbelievably talented boxer - one of the best I've seen especially for his age group. But still clear in my mind is the 70 second knockout by Breidis Prescott. That doesn't happen to top class boxers.

 

[Welshiespursboyo]

I understand what you mean Kendall, but at the end of the day Khan's promoters chose his opponent, Khan went into the ring and boxed a good fight but the ref failed to stop the fight as a no-contest.
Ref's fault, not Khans!
But yeah, good point about hating the football team who gets the decisions etc, i know where your coming from.

But I just don't get the dislike towards Khan, and feel sorry for the lad, who is a good fighter (note, I said good, not best!)
