Khan to face ring legend Barrera

[Red Wino]

Is the fight shown live on IV?

PPV on Sky Box Office Saturday @ 9pm

C'mon Barrera!!

[Imy]

Should be a good fight this, i'm tooing and frowing with regards to who will win, after Khan got demolished by Prescott i have my doubts, but Barrera is now old and has been having local fights in Mexico.

Anyway i hope Khan wins.

[Joe King]

Barrera has been slowing down for the past few fights although with Barrera coming up in weight, it might be show his true power. Khan has been sparring with Pacquiao which might be the benefactor for this fight. Roach has beaten Barrera twice or thrice, wonder whether he can work the same formula to topple Barrera again.

[Darth Marty]

Its a difficult one for me to predict, the MAB I remember would take Khans head off, this time though im not sure.

Im firmly on the fence with this one, should be exciting though.

I hope Barrera Wins this simple because Khan is a bit too ****ing cocky for me, He has done **** all to be cocky about.

One good punch to his glass jaw and he will be down and out.

Well, Prescott aside he took some hits on that 'glass' jaw, got up and finished the job on more than one occasion and Barrera will not be as big a puncher as prescott at this weight.

I still fancy Barrera but this is going to be a fascinating fight - was going to give it a pass but am now seriously considering a box office purchase.

I predict Barrera will come out blazing trying to catch him early. If Khan survives that he may cause an upset.

I feel for him because if he looses this one his "Big Time" career may be over, even his trainer said that if he looses he might aswell go out and find a job.

But he does himself no favours imo been so bloody cocky, just puts him self under too much pressure telling anybody who would listen that there is going to be one winner ten times over.

He may have luck on his side tho, Last time he had to strip to the bare for weigh-in he lost, This time Barrera had to strip bare!

Yes, he can come across as cocky, but most boxers are - I assume that they need that self belief and it can come across as arrogance.

Away from the ring Khan has done a lot for his community in Bolton and by all accounts is a nice person.

Having said that Barrera is also a nice guy - funnily enough i absolutely hated him when he beat Naseem but now I appreciate he is an all time great.

[Joe King]

Which boxer isn't 'cocky'? He believes he can win the world title by the age of 23, fair enough, he said that when he was 19 and professional. Thats not cocky, thats a target. Its like Benitez saying he would like to win the Premiership next season or the season after.

Khan probably does a lot more for his local community than some of the boxers in the world will ever do. He has built his own community gym from his own money, not with government grants or anything. Ricky Hatton currently is building a community complex, watch the accolades.

Ya im sure he is a great lad just gets, in my wik a bit!! I would like to see it go the full 12 rounds, young against old, a bit more height and strenth against more experience, Should be a good one. will be interesting.

Surely this is a certain fix. It must be. It makes no sense otherwise. Put your house on Amir Khan.

I also believe that is possible.

I think you are doing the great Marco Antonio Barrera a huge disservice suggesting hed take a dive fellas.

No chance, and Freddie Roach was saying how Barrera is very secure financially, so he is in this fight to win. Simple as really.

[kingfunk]

Aye... looking forward to it,, wonder what the chances of watching it on one of the streams are?? anyone try it before?
