Khan-Barrera

This will be my first post or even comments regarding a boxing match. The recent Barrera-Khan fight has become a tremendous boost to boxing, giving way to a talented young fighter in Khan against an old legend in Barrera. Marco Antonio Barrera, without a doubt, is listed as one of the best boxers in the sport. Barrera is a future hall of famer with victories over Erik Morales, Rocky Juarez, and others. Barrera's notable losses were from Pound for Pound king Manny Pacquiao and Legendary Erik Morales. Khan, on the other hand, is seeking redemption over his first loss that made the young Briton kiss the canvass two times until he was inevitably counted out. Khan then emerged with easy victories in his last fights. The two fighting, is a background of age versus youth. After Khans' loss, he chose trainer Freddie Roach, one of the top trainers in the world and trainer of Manny Pacquiao. Pacquiao, who has defeated Barrera twice, is an incentive in the Khan Camp. Barrera unfortunately, had a cut after a fight and was in danger as his fight with Khan is drawing near. In the fight, Khan outsmarted the old champion. He used his tremendous handspeed and was just amazing to behold. Khan dominated all rounds until the referree stopped the fight due to the decision of the physician that Barrera had a dangerous cut. Khan won impressively, He won on the 5th round.

Final Thoughts:
Barrera is too old, he should consider retirement seriously and continue as a lawyer or a boxing commentator.
Khan is the big deal, it will just be a matter of time that he would get a world title.
Barrera had a bad cut before the fight that resulted into his poor performance over-all.
