    Hi Chip. Of course I'm going. I'm hoping the fighting spirit from the crowd will waft it's way in to the ring and lift Barrera's left hook and right hand to come down crashing on Khan's chin.

    If not I won't be crying. I will be silent with murderous fury.




    It's going to be a good night don't'cha'think?

    I think it will be a brilliant night and i am jealous but he will not let me go on my own and he will not go because he knows how i am when MAB is fighting he was so embarressed when we flew to vegas to watch him stuff Naz head into the ring post i was still buzzing 3 days later.
    and veerry embaressing Its seems like every one on here is supporting MAB so he should be fine.

    ...still not sure what i think about khan, one fight doesn't make his chin glass just as much as on Ko doesn't mean margaritos chin weak either. I don't know which direction khan will go but i won't judge him on his one loss. He is still learning and loosing is sometimes a positive especially when you've had sunshine blown up your ass as much as this kid, but just like gamboa, and some other prospects no matter how much thier hyped they are still prospects and are supposed to have flaws and be beatable. I'll give the guy a chance and give him a shot against an aging past his prime barrera.

    I think Khan's glass jaw really is 'over-hyped' as such... did you see the shots he took from Prescott? IMO he did pretty well to get up after the first barrage... Prescott could knock out any lightweight if he landed those punches clean. I'm a fan of Khan I admit, his only problem is his over confidence, he clearly went into the ring thinking he could walk over Prescott and didn't put any thought into his defense.

    But when you strip him down to his bare essentials, he has all the tools to do well in the sport. He hits relatively hard, he has very good speed and he has the motivation to do well. I think he will win this fight easily, although i'm not going to bet on it as you never know. But to sum up my thoughts I think people need to cut Khan a break and stop making his punch resistance out to be so bad. So what if Limond floored him? He got back up and broke his goddamn jaw...

    the thing is Limond can hardly break the shell of an egg and he had him in trouble. If he'd have been anything of a puncher that fight would have been over. Watching it again Limond went for broke and gassed. Credit should be given to Khans recovery but that is what youth and fitness can give you.

    Define do well? British, Yes, European? World? Mix it with the top guys? Marquez? Guzman?

    It's worse for him if he goes up a division as Roach seems to think as that is deeper than where he is now...Roach has been spouting all kinds of crap lately.

    am going to this one purely on the basis so I can always say I saw Barrera in action.

    I am, as Fenster believes, worried that even at this stage the fight might not happen - something just doesn't seem right to me in all this.

    If it does take place then if Barrera is at least 75% of the fighter he was then it should be enough to end Khan's career. If not then I see Khan's speed and size advantage getting too much for him and him quitting Oscar style around the 9th.

    Warren realises the Khan cash cow has a very limited shelf life . He is talking about a world title shot after this if he wins - what happened to 'at least 2 years away' after the Prescott fight ??

    I just hope Barrera is in shape and will be supporting him on the night.

    Am presuming its a sky box office event ?

    I'll be hoping Khan hammers Barrera but expecting Amir to be laid out again.

    Joey Khans chin really is as bad as people make out. Check out the clip of Amir going all Zab Judah as an amateur, I cant remember ever seing an amateur in head gear doing a chicken dance, not saying it doesnt happen of course but its got to be as rare as rocking horse shit.

    Khan thinks he lost the Prescott fight because he made technical mistakes. He lost because he cannot take a punch, they may have been hefty shots and yes Im sure many a lightweight would have been decked by them, but Limmond? Gomez? It wasnt a one off was it.

    If Amir can avoid being punched in the mush for the rest of his career he will go far.

    anyone got a link to the clip of him going 'Zab' as an amateur ??

    People forget about the Prescott jab that wobbled his legs about 20 seconds before the knockout

    That was against Craig Watson, the current Commonwealth Welterweight Champ. He's not a big puncher though, least not at 147

    But consider yourself dumped for the first six words of your post.
