Well, you can't call Barrera a risk in hindsight, after the guy was stopped on cuts after a couple of rounds, and Khan looked dominant, but that's not what people at the time were saying.lefty wrote:You cant really call Fagan and barrera and salita risks though!Carbo wrote:Well done Amir Khan. Taking risks, as he has done basically since losing to Prescott, and fighting yet another quality fighter.
Hopefully, this will be a presage to a unification tournament among some absolutely terrific 140 lb fighters. Khan, Ortiz, Maidana, Alexander and Bradley, and even below those guys, Lamont Peterson can come back, in my view.
Terrific stuff, and I hope Khan wins.
Fagan, fine, but then, what did you expect first time out with a new trainer and after a devastating knockout? The modern incarnation of Ike Williams?
Besides, I like being contrarian, and I think that last post of mind will wind up the "Khan is a china-jawed bum who never fights anyone" brigade.
