Marco A. Barrera is fighting today

[Fenster]

From Warren - "I am an optimist, not a pessimist. I want the show to go on, although I know there are people out there who want it off."

Who wants it off?

15,000 tickets already sold.

Ha ha, yeah, fuck me, with Kahn draining his budget I spose hes come too far to just off load him now.

This is the route Kahn will now be taking, to get some cash back and some wins.

If he gets past Barrera, next it will be Morales, then probably Mcguigan

Khan?


Grr. If in doubt then postpone not fill the bill with crap. Barrera had to pull out against Morales because of a broken rib and the fight was re-scheduled. I made a trip across the pond for nothing.They didn't just put on a show for the sake of it.

I'd have been more pissed they had filled the bill leaving me to wonder if I could afford another ticket. That would have been a financial kick in the teeth.

I've have been even more pissed if Barrera had fought injured and ill prepared before the fight (if we learnt about things after the fact that's another story).

[Fenster]

With 15,000 already sold I expect they'll say the fight is going ahead as planned.. only for Barrera to be subbed at the last minute for another great Mexican... Manuel Medina

[Howlin Mad Missy]

Don't joke.

I'm wearing some steel heeled stilettoes and killing someone.

[Fenster]

I told ya they shouldn't have gone through with this joke fight (that's the cab driver that nutted Barrera not Khan)

[Howlin Mad Missy]

It was the only thing that could go wrong. And it did

[GAME]

ok. I can't view the youtube fight so I can't comment on how he is looking (and I've been watching for a long time so I figure I could tell how much slippage there is) I can't comment on whether I think he looked slow, was taking a look at his opponent, going through the motions. He's been in ugly fights before that have gone the distance but again I'm unable to view youtube.

I figure the fight went ahead because a. he was contracted to fight and b. he wanted to get some rounds under his belt.

If the Khan fight is in danger because of the cut it should be postponed and not some last minute nobody put in his place. The fight imo has been sold on the name of Barrera and not Khan vs Tom' Mato-Can

You didnt miss much. Barrera treated it like a sparring session. Went through the motion s much like he did in China. He wasnt trying his hardest but who does in warm ups? Hopkins looked poor in his fight b4 Oscar . He knew a payday was coming and just let his skills do the talking . Same thing here with Barrera

Im abit concerned that if this cut keeps him out of sparring then his timing may be off on fight night . Having said that last time he turned up undeprepared was November 2003 and I dont think he will make teh same mistake.

Marco has played his part as the boxer in fights with Pedan and Juarez but in this fight he will be the guy chasing and Khan will be running. Hope he doesnt enter the ring with scar tissue. The cut was between the eyes above the nose not above 1 eye so it shouldnt be that bad
