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.
