Khan to face ring legend Barrera

[Tee]

Not neccesarrily, if JMM vacates the WBO belt Warren will have him straight in there and get a fight with Alex Arthur or a bum like Foster Jr and have it for the title (so it gets kept in sports network even if Khan loses), then bingo, world champion even though the WBO belt is ****e but then all the organisations are a corrupt sham one way or the other.

You old cynic you.

It's true though unfortunately mate, Alex Arthur got the WBO belt given to him at 130 after the Guzman shambles, then amazingly another Sports Network fighter (Nicky Cook) gets a shot despite having beaten no one good in his whole career, he beats Arthur, then Warren tries to arrange a fight with Foster (Guess what? Another Sports Network fighter) who had again beaten no one good and lost to Alex Arthur himself but luckily he got injured and it was called off. The mediocre Cook has to finally face a mando and gets sparked.

It's embarassing and a stain on the sport but shows no sign of changing and it annoys the hell out of me. Its not just Warren to be fair, Don King was/is the same with the WBA for example. Scrap the ****ing lot of em I say.

[Tee]

I agree - how fantastic would it be if each weight division had only one world championship belt. But with the money involved and global popularity of the sport it just is never going to happen. Very corrupt sport and Warren is just playing the game.

[Chris]

It'd be immense, less avoiding people aswell that way but agree it simply wont happen, ever probably. Shame.

Khan cut Barrera with a headbutt, the fight should have been stopped and called null and void.

That is a shocking call mate - if you think that was a headbutt you need to go to specsavers pal.

It was a straightforward accidental clash of heads. Yes it ruined the fight but would it have changed the outcome - did not look like it to me.

[Shaggy]

Well I'm glad I didn't pay for that. Anyone who did must've felt very short-changed, although that's not Khan's fault and nor, for once, is it Warren's.

Disappointing bout though, despite Khan's impressive showing. He was so quick to get his guard up...but it makes me wonder. How the **** did he think, before Roach sorted him out, he could make a career out of top-level boxing without a defence?!

I paid for it but I must say the undercard fights were pretty good and the main event was pretty exciting whilst it lasted.

Amazing what a difference Roach has made to Khan, but I still feel he has a lot of work to do. The biggest mistake he can make right now is to believe that he has sorted everything out defensively. He needs to keep working on the defence until it is just a natural part of his boxing style.

It wasnt a headbutt but if the fight had been stopped in round 4 it would have been null and void, suspicious

Rumour doing the round is that it was a "prepared wound" that was ready to cut open at the very first clash of heads.

Are you serious? It would be extremely lucky for Khan to hit him in that spot with his head whilst looking down.

It was an accidental clash of heads, if the ref called it at the end of the fourth, we would have had to go to the judges scorecards. Khan won it for me 40-36 at the end of the fourth like a lot of people.

[Pablo]

on a wind up guys.

I know the cut spoiled the fight but Khan did looked massively improved. He's learned to protect himself finally, and hide that slightly suspect chin of his.

[Tee]

Just watched the fight again and in all honesty it should have been stopped after the cut. Barrera clearly could not box properly because of it and the honourable thing to do would be to have a rematch in due course.

Khans finally learned to get his hands back up as quick as he throws them out and was zipping in and out nicely! He looked like he was probably going to edge it apart from the cut as his hand speed was troubling barerra, still think he needs another fight or two against quality opponents to really test him!

[felly]

Went the fight with a few mates and had a decent night. Didnt expect to see Pryce, Enzo and Cook all KO'ed.

Shame the fight had to end in a cut, but glad Khan got the win (even though im a massive Barrera fan).

I wonder whats next for Khan, hes still nowhere ready to fight the divisions big boys, and not sure he would be to keen on an immediate re-match with Prescott to be honest.
