na overconfident nga si arlovski don, super. hindi man lang niya inisip na si "Fedor" ang kalaban niya. the slightest mistake can cause him that fight. ayun, flying knee ka pa ha. aerial ko inabot niya. wahahaha

He was gone mid-air before he even hit the floor. actually maganda yung gameplan ni Arlovski eh. Ok din yung boxing niya. nag init lang hehe.

ang pangit lang sa mma yung mga fight organizations parang pag-aari nila mga fighters nila. yung magagaling na fighters ng respective organizations daming gulo sa kontratahan kaya mga "dream fights" di matuloy-tuloy. Dapat matagal nang nagharap yang si Fedor at Couture eh.

di tulad ng boxing, magkaayusan lang sa hatian at hinahanap ng fans yung fight napakalaking tsansa na matuloy ang fight.

Panalo si Khan sa fifth round technical decision

Pacquiao sparmate Khan stops old Pac Man victim Barrera in 5

MANCHESTER, England — Amir Khan's speedy punches saw off Marco Antonio Barrera in the fifth round of Saturday's lightweight bout, marking a turning point in his career six months after a major setback in the same arena.

The 22-year-old Brit won on a technical decision after a disciplined battering of the outclassed Mexican, who was covered in blood after a cut to his forehead in a clash of heads in the first round.

The tide of blood pouring down Barrera's head was never stemmed, and the ringside doctor eventually called a halt to the bout.

Khan's gamble to fight a seven-time world champion 13 years his senior paid off, with the 2004 Olympic silver medalist banishing memories of being humiliated by Breidis Prescott in 54 seconds last September in style in his 21st professional bout.

"This fight was make or break for me, but I felt so comfortable it seemed liked easy work catching him with the jabs," Khan said. "I'm happy with the performance. I mustn't have done much wrong in that fight."

Khan has been transformed by trainer Freddie Roach and sparring with pound-for-pound great Manny Pacquiao — sessions he felt were tougher in the end than the fight itself at MEN Arena.

"The jabbing and patience — I felt so strong. You could see the difference," Khan said. "I had to take some shots in that match. I made some mistakes in the past and I'm not going to make them again."

Now Khan wants a shot at a title by the end of the year, and promoter Frank Warren said he hopes to set it up.

"I proved to a lot of people how good I am and ended the criticism I've been getting," Khan added.

On the undercard, Ola Afolabi claimed a cruiserweight title by knocking out Enzo Maccarinelli, while Roman Martinez knocked out Nicky Cook to win a super-featherweight belt.

Afolabi's decisive right hook in the ninth round knocked out Maccarinelli (29-3), the Welshman who lost the WBO title to David Haye last March.

"I trained hard, was nice and fresh but I think my lack of sparring told," Maccarinelli said. "Take nothing away from Afolabi, I took him too lightly and I got beat."

Afolabi (14-1-3, 6 KOs), who was born in London of Nigerian parents but now lives near Los Angeles, won the belt Haye vacated when he moved up to heavyweight.

Earlier in the night, Martinez knocked out Cook in the fourth round to capture the WBO super-featherweight belt that Cook had held since September.

Cook was in control of his first defense until the Brit was floored by a left uppercut from Martinez (21-0-1, 13 KOs) in the fourth round.

Shortly after Cook got up from the canvas, the Puerto Rican mandatory challenger landed a powerful left hook. As Cook (29-2) struggled to get up again, referee Dave Parris called a halt. -AP

Sinisisi ni Barrera yung sugat dahil sa headbutt sa pagkatalo niya, kesyo dahil sa dugo hindi daw nya makita mga suntok ni Khan. Pero pag tinignan nyo tong video makikita nyong mabilis rin talaga kamao ni Khan:
