Barrera, 'I'm a Much Better Fighter Than Amir Khan'

[Mark TKO]

was worried about MAB's frame of mind coming into this

this news gives me a hell of a lot more confidence and I am now really looking forward to this one more than ever at the MEN - should be a good night.

I will be fully behind MAB for this one but in a way I don't want the majority of the crowd to be pro Barrera - not right for Khan if you know what I mean

My current thinking is now Barrera around 7 - six weeks ago I had him retiring on his stoll at end of 9th.

roll on next week - see a few of you there

I wanna team up with leftylee with this sig bet in favour of Khan. Who is willing to bet?!

[leftylee]

The reason why Khan will beat Barrera.

SPEED.

Speed kills. Look at Mosely v Margarito...nobody on god's earth gave Mosely a chance.

Good thing for Khan is he has power too. Barrera at his age won't be able to handle Khan devastating speed. That's all there is too it. Sure Khan has a dodgy chin. But you have to land to inflict damage. That's another problem. I just don't see Barrera landing at all, Khan's reflexes are too fast.

Khan TKO around 5.

A few months ago, I would have been solidly been rooting for MAB, as he has been one of my favourite fighters, however, with a lot of the general anti-Khan feeling & the fact that so many older fighters have been taking out younger guys who could become stars, I've really come round to supporting Khan, although I dunno how I'll feel when they're actually in the ring.

However, there can be no arguing with the fact that Khan will never be able to be anywhere near the fighter MAB has been, however, like lefty I think his speed could just prove to be too much for Barrera, but then we have seen how much experience has helped older guys take out younger fighters recently

I think MAB should have stayed retired and is going to get sent back to retirement after this fight.

I have not seen him in his last comeback fight, but when he fought JMM and Pac last he was so slow, I was hoping he would pack it in. He is shot and is on borrowed time right now IMO.

You should have never doubted Barrears frame of mind. The guy would rather kill his own mother than lay down to Amir Khan . The guy is a killer and is coming here to assasinate Khan. Barrera has tried to control his temper with some skillful boxing but he boils over and if it happens in Manchester then bye bye Khan .

You dont want the corwd to be against Amir? Im want every single person to be spitting abuse at him for every second! A real pro Barrera crowd im expecting

deanrw - If Barrera was so slow why couldnt Manny or Marquez put him away or atleast drop him . In both those fights Manny and Marquez were hurt more than Barrera . Marquez in teh 7th and Manny in the 11th . Khan isnt in that league and will be alot easier to hurt
