Khan didn't react well to that clean left hook MAB landed.

Not a good trait, and one Berto also shares. He'll get hurt by a guy who can follow up if he keeps doing it.

    Anyway that ****** seeing Barrera get worked tonight. He does not need to be fighting at 135. He's too small and his speed doesn't carry up in weight.
    at least he didn`t go down like jmm!!
    im not saying kahn is better than jaun!,but he was beating the **** out of MAB!!! RESPECT IS DUE!!!

        You do realize that, that punch has also been MAB's money punch all throughout his career. Power is the last thing to leave a fighter. Yes, MAB can still pull that left hook! And Khan didn't help himself by sorta leanin' back.
        Barrera has never even been a one punch KO guy though, let alone now. And that leanin' back thing is another hobby that will hurt him. He tends to back straight up with his chin high. I dont know I'm nitpicking a bit, but I dont think he can afford to be leaky on defense with that chin.

          I know it's clearly nitpicking...

          Either way the first clean punch that Barrera landed shook Khan up. That's not good news. JMM didn't wobble from the first Barrera left hook.

            its not nitpicking imo ... its reality the guys a great talent but has one huge deficit that will always be scrutanized ... mab isnt a huge puncher a small lightweight and for khan to be wobbled is another terrible sign of things to come for him. no matter how good he is hes always one clean punch away from being stopped ... thats not a good thing when facing world class opponents obviously ..

              YO, I know, it was a tough night for you, having to watch your boy go out like that.

              Khan is a work in progress, and with that kind of talent the sky's the limit for the kid. I just hope that Khan doesn't forget on how he had to pick himself backup from the Prescott debacle. Basically, for him to remain on a forward march to greatness, he can't forget the lessons he has learned in his still short journey as a prizefighter!

              Tonight's victory is definitely a confidence booster for the Roach trained Brit, but like in the past, I hope Khan doesn't let it all go to his head, again! Or else he'll be back to the drawin' board.

                  Meh, it wasn't that bad. I had Khan picked to win handily anyway. I want Khan to do well and improve, just don't think his chin will let him.
