Just watched Barrera vs Khan for the first time.

[stefjonno1]

Didn't watch it till now because I knew that they CHERRY PICKED Barrera because of his name, and because he's was too small and way past his prime.

But my first impression is that Barrera got a standing ovation and Khan got BOO'd, badly....


I was puzzled, because I know Khan is from the UK himself and Barrera is Mexican.... Can someone from the UK explain this for me? Some of my English buddies tell me that people are very prejudice against ******s/Middle Easterners/Indians over there.

How's Amirs popularity in the UK? Do people perceive him well? (and I'm refering to the English population)

I was at the fight myself. Barrera is loved cuz he's a legend, plain and simple. People dont know khan very well, we all been watchin Barrera for a very long time. It was just great to get the chance to see him in the flesh, thats why i flew down from Scotland to see him. The fight was a joke it should have been stopped in the first round, but regardless im very thankfull i got to see the great Marco antonio barrera.

Well, i've been around boxing since I was a kid.
I watched Barrera vs Hamed live when I was like 12 years old because everyone in my family loved Barrera... including the pregnant women.

but I only saw it as a Mexican guy vs a clown in leopard trunks. it wasn't until about a year ago that i got really into it. before that, I was a hardcore MMA fan. but MMA is declining, fast. the talent is declining, and well as the quailty of fights. its becoming a hump fest because of the way the UFC has MMA in a stranglehold. if you arent in the ufc, you arent making any money. if you lose, you're out of the ufc. so everyone is afraid to lose, and fights really safe and boring.

but anyway, yeah. im pretty new to boxing. ive been working myself up, watching all the classics, and learning some history.

hell, i got to train with roger mayweather before i even knew who he was lol... good times.

so youre into mma more than boxing before because it was the popular trend that time?

but yeah good luck to your search of classic fights

[wazaa.]

Amir was whooping MAB every round. He was probably gonna TKO him if the fight had continued. The people were booing Amir cus of his origin/religion. Simple as that. They dont wanna see "his kind" be succesful.

no no no no.
I watched it because I loved PRIDE, loved the fighters, the drama, the action.
UFC makes boring fights. since PRIDE died in 2007, MMAs been declining, and ive been watching less and less. dont get me wrong, I still love MMA, and I watch all the events, but im not a rapid hardcore fan anymore because MMA has lost that fire it once had.

Barerra-Kon was complete hometown bull****. Everyone except the Kon nuthuggers know it.
