"Before that fight, Barrera fought Freudis Rojas on January 31, 2009 in Zapopan, Jalisco. Rojas was disqualified for a headbutt which left Barrera with a bad cut over his left eye. The cut could have jeopardized Barrera’s scheduled bout against Khan.[8] Despite this injury, the fight will go ahead on the 14th March 2009."
What eye was he cut over?

We'll never hear the end of this now, Sky will go on like he's just beat Pacquaio in his pomp.
Get him back in with Prescott see what this new Khan is really made of.

I would have hated to pay for that. Absolute shambles. I know Khan started well and most probably would have won without the cut, but nobody knows what could have happened.
When Khan fights decent opposition at his natural weight then I will be impressed. That was ridiculous.

Did you here what Barrera has said after the fight?! He is raging!
The headbutt as he said should have been a stoped fight right away however the ref didnt check on it until the 4th, this meant it was perfect to go to points in the 5th!
Barrera also said he didnt feel Khan's punches.....
He really seemed....cut up....about it *sorry had to*

*sorry had to*As Barerra just said, he couldn't see anything from the first round so as far as I'm concerned Khan has proved nothing. Yes Khan won on points but fighting against someone with one eye isn't much of a challenge. Should be a rematch IMO.

Just hope you never meet a cyclops or those comments might come back to haunt you.

Dude, Taxi is outside, heres your coat
Khan wins. Deserve's it, yes the cut spoils it, but you could see in round 1 clearly, he's improved a lot.
Khan was on the attack most of the time so his defense/glass jaw wasn't really tested, Barrera seemed to be focussed more on his wound than anything else.
Khan would have probably fought the same against Prescott if he didn't get floored so quickly
so saying he's improved is a bit premature, we need to see him fight someone decent again.
