Aye he did outbox him massively, just dreading the fucking aftermath of this, cockey bastard what he is.
Khan was the better fighter but a cut that bad that early makes it a non starter. As soon as Barrera was fucked and cut that bad he had no chance, nothing away from Khan speed was immense but i still dont think he'll be a world champion. His glass jaw will not let that happen.
Yeh your dead on. A cut that deep would have practically blinded Barrera, you cant take that much away from Khan as he did showed great form, but I doubt he'd have been able to get away with even half the cockyness he did if Barrera's eye hadn't have been blinded with blood.
gutted about this fight actually... fair play to Kahn he was very very good and did exactly what he needed to in the first half of the fight BUT - this was always going to be the case Kahn was going to win the opening rounds then become vunerable on his chin as he tired later on in the fight unfortunatly cos of a purely accidental cut it didnt get this far.
Come on people, yes Khan looked good, but the cut had a massive impact on that. Everyone knew khan would have the speed and use that to his advantage but it would always have took one good punch to put him on is arse, as soon as that cut came about though he knew the fight wouldn't go the distance and Barrerras concentration would have been shot, it doesn't take much to out box a slower opponent with one eye. As for the second fight, i thought Enzo had a lot more power behind him than that, i know he struggled to catch Ola, but even his body shots didn't seem to have much effect, cracking knockout punch like.
i seen that KO punch coming like, after Ola's right hand rocked Enxo early on and nearly floored him Enzo's confidence was shot, and when he was opening up with little flurrys of punches he was retreating to his guard far too soon instead of trying to finish Ola off. he was scared of what Ola's big shot were capable of and Enzo being too cautious played straight to Ola's strengths
It doesnt matter how khan boxes people will always have an excuse against him, he done the business last night and by the looks of Barrera in the first round before the cut he had no chance anyway. He has to start fighting the big boys now hough so time will tell how good he is
If Khan and Roach think hes good enough give him his world title shot after maybe one more fight, Diaz would be a good choice for his next fight
that was my text that made sense last night - please ignore the one about Nicky Cook i was on a different planet
He did look good Khan, something Barrera wouldnt of been able to see fully... I wouldnt fancy fighting any fucker with one eye never mind boxing with blood pouring into the fucker and all over me. Khan still has a glass jaw regardless, he just wouldnt of fought Barrera a few years ago and could probably only do him when he is on his way out.... Will be interesting to see if there's a re-match, Barrera didnt look arsed in the interview after saying the punches didnt hurt him n that hahaha
If the punches werent hurting he wasnt half wobbling about alot, Khan has got a glass chin but there are plenty of boxers who end up holding world titles that dont have great chins, pacquiao being one example
Come off it, Don't begin to compare Khan to Pacquiao. Khan was always going to start fast and throw punches as he knew if he never he'd get beat. Yest he looked fast, yes he has power nothing we haven't known but his glass jaw will see him never be as good as he thinks he is. The most shocking thing about last nights fight is that Khan will now get fast tracked for a title shot after being destroyed by Prescott who is stuck in limbo and probs needs another 10 fights before he gets anywhere near a title fight.
Although I agree Khan has a bad chin, he did take a couple of hard lefts on it and took them very well
