Sure he's got the glass chin, which is not his fault at all, and I feel kinda sorry for him having not known that limitation earlier.
I don't think Khan deserves this shot at all, but I'll still be rooting for him, and I think he can win. If I was in his place and was told by my promoter I could face Marco even after a disastrous KO loss and a "comeback" against floppy opposition, I'd take it with both hands.
Im a massive patriot and always have been...
But sometimes you just have to let your heart rule your head...
Many that`ll be roaring on barrera tonight will be doing so because of their complete disregard for amir khan and that dont sit too well with me as the guy got caught out once and exposed by a far superior fighter.
But the general concensous is that barrera will get the british support because of the fact he is recognised as an all time great that has had to earn his status the hard way unlike amir who has been able to feed off his olympic silver for 5years now.
Im choosing tonight to cheer on barrera not because i hate amir but because i love MAB and would love to see him become world champ at 135 before calling it a day
