don king wants a Khan/barrera rematch

Post by Adamj1987 »

today in the sun newspaper (for whatever thats worth) it said don king is trying to enforce a rematch because of the cut barrera suffered. he said it should of beens topped before round 4 for a no-contest desision and has complained about dangerous reffing for letting it go to the score cards and
this sort of thing gives boxing a black eye
should there be a rematch? i think king has a case about it being stopped earlier but i think it was one sided before teh cut that there souldnt be a rematch

yep those 90 seconds told me everything I needed to know about a 12 round fight. I shall no doubt carry this thought with to every future bout. Watch two minutes then head to the bar. :TU: Thanks for that.

Come on.

In all fairnes, you can't judge a 12 round bout over what happens in the first.

Saying that though, it looks like Barrera ha no place at LW.

He is no Bernard Hopkins, and although not that old at 35, his career is more or less over.

Unlike Hopkins, Barrera does not rely so much on technique and skills, much of the skills he relies on has diminished with age imo
