Come on, Marco Antonio Barrera!!!!!!!!!!

Barrera to win by late rounds KO.

Think we'll see a brilliant Khan performance but there is simply nothing Roach can do about his chin.
Shame really as Khan has everything else needed to go all the way.
Barrera will catch up with him around the 4th then break him to pieces and look to end it around 7 or 8.

Really looking forward to the Enzo Maccarinelli vs. Ola Afolabi fight.
Think this is gonna be a belter!

[Howlin Mad Missy]

long card. half the night it'll be empty the other half will be full of drunks. Wouldn't be surprised if there is a scuffle or two in the cheap seats.
I miss the big fights.

[smashup]

haha i went to Calzaghe v lacy there and flew to Manchester with a few dodgy mates who were just going round looking for it till 1am.

Left them too it to be honest.

Depends if Man Utd beat Liverpool really

Great fight venue though

[superheavyrhun]

I say I'm looking forward to this one, but I'm not sure what state I'll be in by the time it starts. Out at 1pm for Wales v Italy in an all-dayer, and hoping to find a pub in town that'll be showing it. As it's in swansea they should have somewhere filled with Enzo fans watching it.

Whatever happens, I promise to try and come on here pissed as a fart when I get home and make a few nonsensical posts made up entirely of consonants and apostrophes.

[smashup]

I think there could well be some crowd trouble...

Your gonna have untold Liverpool fans in Manchester from 10am on the piss and some will definately have fight tickets.
Then you'll have the Welsh for Enzo who will be slaughtered from watching the Rugby and Nicky Cooks NAUGHTY West Ham fans coming up from East london too.
Then you got your Mancs and a load of Fergals from Bolton.

Stick a 4pm start into the mix and 20,000 pints being downed and you have the potential for World War 3 on your hands.

Gotta love us Brits for that

Some hype Vids

Hey, thought I'd put this link in here rather than create another bloody thread about the fight.

Apparently Roach has said this fight is all or nothing for Khan, that he has to win this or his careers over. All in the link

Boxing: Trainer Freddy Roach says Amir Khan's career hinges on fight against Marco Antonio Barrera | Sport | The Guardian

[Howlin Mad Missy]

no pressure then

[Macho]

Hey JazMerkin good post my friend , i think that Roach try to give a hardly motivation to Khan with that comments , obviously if he win , he would grow up more as boxer , but Roach know that defeat Barreras will not be nothing easier , that is why i think he makes that comments ..............

[smashup]

Anyone see the press conference..?
Khan looks and sounds very confident and positive and doesn't seem to be at all phased by Barrera.

Barrera just looked Ice Cold and ready for a fight.

Don King tried to put the frighteners on Khan by stating that he'll be Knocked out.

Looks in a good state of mind Khan and i've said all along he'll put in a brilliant performance and according to Roach they are gonna make MAB work at a fast pace from the off.

Can't help thinking Barrera will use body shots to slow him down around the 4th or 5th then batter him.
