Barrera in training video. (Looks ripped!)

[GAME]

This is our first glimpse of Barrera as he prepares to fight Amir Khan on March 14th.. There is a significant difference in body shape to the guy who had a couple of warm ups in China and Mexico afew weeks ago.

Barreras looking as chizzled as he has done in years infact to me he looks better than when he fought Marquez and Pacquiao. Also theres no signs of any serious scar tissue from the cut he suffered in his last fight.

If Hopkins aged 45 and Mosley aged 37 can destroy invincible looking fighters then Barrera whos much younger can do it to a far less invincible looking prospect. I think people picking Kahn are going to be embarrassed by their judgement on March 15th.

Yeah, I saw this last night during the Prizefighter show, Marco does look well prepared.

The only thing that stops him winning this fight may be age.

He looks in good shape,but it still does'nt alter the fact that he is past his best and there for the taking.

.........Barrera........Khan
Age: .....35..........22
Height:...5′ 6″..... 5′ 10″
Reach: ..70“....... Def more (not on Boxrec)
Fights had: 72 .....20

He has a lot againsed him, his best weight ain't 135 and he has been in some serious wars. It would be a crackin win if he can KO Khan, fingers crossed.

Fights has 72-20 Experience advantage this will defenetly come into play in their fight
I do think Barrera will pull it off.

Reach 70" - 72"

I've seen all kinds of different heights given to Barrera I'm 5'5" he 'seems' a fraction over 5'6" though I could be wrong but I don't think the height will that much of an issue. If I can tag guys with my stumpy lady arms at Khan's height I'm sure Barrera can

He looks in good shape,but it still does'nt alter the fact that he is past his best and there for the taking.

Never can tell these days, seems as if the old warriors who suffered a loss or two are coming back with points to prove, unless Barrera ends up on the Chris Byrd end of things when he looks great but ends up getting beat embarrassingly.

If Kahn wins though it really will be a version of Barrera no where near his best. A primed Marco Antonio Barrera beats Amir Kahn like the school yard bully and a class of kindergarten kids

[Dizaster]

Don't get me wrong, it's MUCH better that he looks in good shape that if he looked pudgy or gaunt.. BUT, i'm sure we could make a list 100 fighters long who in just the last year have come into fights looking ripped and it hasn't helped their cause..

Even the older fighters like Jones etc looked pretty darn good in their pre-fight shots,,, but ripped doesn't always equate to bringing back their speed and endurance and that determination to go 110% every round like a young fighter can..

I'm just saying i've been impressed with how fighters have looked before fights, and been let down many times by their performance, so I don't pay much attention to that sort of thing anymore.. Although good for him that he's in decent shape.

And I still think Khan is losing this one..

[GAME]

Has anyone heard anything from Warren about the weigh in time/location etc?

And if they do hear something can they post it here please?

[jon09]

He looks ripped much like the way Chris Byrd looked when he went lightheavy weight. =o

yeah but if you looked at chris Byrd's face, it was all sucked in like a skeleton. Also Chris was coming down in weight and Barrera is going up so I don't see the connection.

I was being a smart ass thats my connection. Go Barrera.

[No Contest]

Don't jinx Barrera.

[jon09]

Don't jinx Barrera.

(LOL) No he will win now. I put a voodoo curse on Khan.
