Barrera v Khan - WEIGH IN VID - Plus Undercard - STICKY!

[smashup]

Anyone see the press conference..?
Khan looks and sounds very confident and positive and doesn't seem to be at all phased by Barrera.

Barrera just looked Ice Cold and ready for a fight.

Don King tried to put the frighteners on Khan by stating that he'll be Knocked out.

Looks in a good state of mind Khan and i've said all along he'll put in a brilliant performance and according to Roach they are gonna make MAB work at a fast pace from the off.

Can't help thinking Barrera will use body shots to slow him down around the 4th or 5th then batter him.

It's the thought of the eight million quid he had to pay out to him. Actually it's the thought of what he'd have invested the eight million in if the judge hadn't frozen his assets till he paid King. He would have invested in Mamma Mia the stageshow/film etc. which has made billions. It must still keep him awake at night.

So after seeing the weigh in earlier does anyone give Amir any chance at all?

There's a fair few who think he can win this (50-50 at the bookies) given his speed, size and youth advantages and i agree to a certain extent and have said all along that i think he'll put on a decent show and really go for this but i just can't see him staying out of Barreras range for 3 mins of every round.
Basically it's shit or bust time for Khan and he knows it, he is capable of winning this imo but he's gotta fight so cute and be so focussed for every single second or every round to do so and move up hugely in class almost during the fight really.

Massive ask but i think he'll definately give MAB plenty to think about before he simply gets schooled and stopped around 7 rounds.

After seeing the weigh in I'm convinced Barrera will beat the shit out of him. Khan has been caught and hurt by a lot less than what Barrera can dish out. I agree that Khan might look decent for a few rounds, but Barrera never starts quick and once he warms up, he'll slaughter Khan like a goat. Your stoppage call sounds good, may well be.

What's amazing here is that MAB once beat The Prince who may now be ready for possible induction into the IBHF, and now fights the young guy many have compared to the Prince.

I find Khan to be totally different to Naseem though in terms of styles. In some ways, and in consideration of Barrera being so much older, it is probably a harder fight to judge. Khan is such a novice compared with Barrera or even with what Hamed was when he faced Barrera himself, it's those intangibles that make this a weird and wonderful fight.

Bring it Marco!!
