    That's just speculation. You never know what would happen. It's just as easy for me to say Barerra would've used his experience to figure out Khans patterns and tie him up on the inside and break his rhythm later on, slowing down the pace.

    Either of those things could happen, but we'll never know. I'm sure noone knew Khan would get KO'd in one round at any point of his career. That's what's special about Boxing. You can never really know what would happen.

    There's no way we can say "even if Barerra didn't have the cut, he'd still lose", ESPECIALLY when we only saw about a minute and forty/fifty seconds or so of a two eyed Barerra.

    All I DO know is that Barerra didn't touch the ropes/run or get attacked with any kind of serious flurry until AFTER he got the cut. That is fact because that is what we can literally see happening.

    2. Like I said, that's speculation. Khan could get hit with something or Barerra could use his smarts to screw Khans rhythm. You never know. As for the authority in Khans shots..........I didn't really see any. I thought the same thing Barerra said about his punches while I was watching the fight.

    One of the best things Barerra could do against a speedier opponent is get inside, tie Khans arms up and hit on the inside, which he managed to do a few times. With a huge cut on your forehead like the one he had, that's one of his best strategies out of the window, since getting inside usually means leading with your head which would be bound to **** his cut up even more just by touching it/getting it bumped etc.
    Nothing in life is for sure, but Khan had all the tools to beat Barrera cut or no cut.

      I didn't really notice him get staggered or hurt, but his uper body did sort of contort in an odd way after Barerra landed a flush power left hook, but his legs seemed fine, and I didn't notice them buckle once.

        Khan looked off balance, that was all from what I saw.

          That really doesn't mean anything.

            Yes, Khan would have won anyway. Anyone who doesn't think so, doesn't know boxing. It really it as simple as that. This was a mismatch from the start and I called it as one. Once you get past the buzz of Khan fighting a legend and look at the fight properly, you see the reality.

              Why does noone seem to realise we only saw <2minutes of Barerra fighting, within which time Khan did not dominate him.

              Did he look better before he was cut? Yes.

              Did he dominate Barerra? Not at all.
