I was at the weigh and was lucky enough to have my picture taken with the legend that is Marco Antonio Barrera. The missus even gave him a kiss.
It was a real pro Barrera Anti Khan crowd. I did an interview with TV and let them know that all the British will be supporting the Mexican. I think I speak for everyone here when I say that .
Damn, Kahn has a tiny head ;D But seriously, that could be why he doesnt take the best punch..
Can't belive it just got 20/1 on Barrera winning in the first and evens on a win :o
happy days 8)

William Hill 43-1 Khan tko .............Say no more
Well we'll know in less than 24 hours... kinda looking forward to this one.
but we have a legend against a chinny fighter... i personally see Khan freezing bigtime.
he did against Prescot.. so imagine how he is gonna feel looking accross the rings at an up for it Barrera.... he'll have lost before the first bell ;)

I don't think he'll one punch knockout Khan, it would have to be accumulative of a beating, and if Khan gets off to a good start like in the first 6 rounds then he can coast and I don't know if Barerra would stop him. Barerra will definately finish stronger but I think Khan will take this by decision. But if Khan knocks out Barerra like toach thinks he will then I'll be shocked.
A 10 punch flurry from Khan hitting MAB's gloves will probably see one of our shitty ref's jump in.Quote:

Having said that...
Ive already backed Barrera to win by KO/TKO/DQ (5/2). Don't see another one round job.. Barrera will probably take a few rounds to warm up and expect Khan to start cautiously.
Khan is 20/1 to win in rounds 10-12.
Yea I know what you mean. I got that too. Mostly I think because he didn't punch Khan in the face prefight lol, plus his demeanor seems disinterested.Quote:

I'm just hoping Barerra isnt in an "I shouldnt even be fighting this kid" kind of moodQuote:

fair play to khan for taken this fight......i think he wins this on a late round tko...possibly due to a cut eye......if he wins this fight it will open many opportunities for him to get sparked out by any decent champion.....i still don't think by beating MAB he has the physical attributes to beat the very best.....he has the tools but unfortunatley he hasn't the chin to hold a half decent punch
Job Biscuit (good luck any how)!!!
eh eh!!!
I've gone for Barrera in Round 5.
I think early on Khan will box super cautiously and to the Roach gameplan. Barrera will look to spring the counter shots but not have much joy early on.
If Khan can stick to his boxing for the whole fight then he can win but he can easily get disrupted and thrown out of the plan and Barrera however faded has the experience and skill to unsettle Khan and make him fight his fight.
Due to size and his obvious boxing ability Khan should win comfortably against the smaller, shopworn Barrera but Barrera still has an excellent fighting brain and hopefully the hunger to see this through.
I would hate to see another Graham Earl episode - Earl just seemed a shell once he was in the ring though seemed a tough test going into the fight.
Sometimes the years of fights and toil catch up with a fighter and Barrera has had a long and tough career.
I have no confidence in Khans ability to take a punch whatsoever and see him getting tagged by a counter - Limond style. Only Barrera will finish him off.
Just uploaded the vid from the weigh in yesterday.
Proof beyond dispute that Khan will be stepping into the lions den tonight . Listen to the support for Barrera at the end

I love the way the crowds have taken to him. He's been there and done it all and I think people really appreciate just how great he's been. Could be a quite a pro Barrera crowd later.Quote:

wonder what the odds will be before the fight...will tell a tale on just how the betting going.
All the BIG money is going on Khan according to Hills. They started with Barrera as a 1/2 favourite - it's now 5/6 the pair.
Barreras best chance is getting to him early on. One Kahn gets into a rythm and finds a way to keep him on the outside and out speed him, Barrera will be in a losing battle. If he can get to him early, he can take him out of his game a little and be able to dictate the pace a little more.
intresting that one mate... the real teller will be what the odds are right at the last minute.Quote:

Hall vs. Pryce just underway now...
yup off we go. enjoy the fights all
Good round for Pryce, I thought he got the better part of that round...
Hall needs to be smart... Make his shots count.
Great bodywork by Hall. Diggin to the body.
HOLY SHIT!!!! WHAT A SHOT!!!
Down goes Pryce....
Holy shit!!! What a shot....
Pryce folded like a lawn chair...
I hope they don't pull a premature stoppage on Barrera.
Khan needs to win this. He seems to be a good kid, exciting fighter and has the potential to have a great career. Barrera has had his career and he really needs to get put back into retirement.
I like Barrera a lot but he should not be fighting. He has been in too many wars. Unless he shows me something amazing this fight I will stick to my words.
Pretty good undercard fights so far I hope Khan vs. Barrera is the same or better!
Where are all my English mates at? ???
