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

[smashup]

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.

You should be a commentator

He looks like one with that stupid long neck of his and that stupidly small head. Barrera's head is almost twice as big.

He must be a Caprikhan

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!!

Ha. Okay, Billy Dib? (just kidding).

Have you seen the size difference between Barrera and Khans heads?

Khan has a tiny little head, could be why he doesnt hold a shot too well

[Mark TKO]

looking forward to this one so much

Miles you are right about the long neck, never noticed before - he reminds me of Gideon

Marco looks up for it - if so I expect to be served by Khan in a local Mcdonalds within 10-12 months.

[:::PSL:::]

Awesome boxing event for $24. I'm buying it! I see Marco using his superb boxing skills, while Khan blazing with both guns.

May the best man win with no controversy.

I was at the weigh and was lucky enough to have my picture taken with the legend that is Marco Antonio Barrera. The missus even gave him a kiss.

It was a real pro Barrera Anti Khan crowd. I did an interview with TV and let them know that all the British will be supporting the Mexican. I think I speak for everyone here when I say that .

[BoomBoom]

Damn, Kahn has a tiny head But seriously, that could be why he doesnt take the best punch..

[Saddo]

Can't belive it just got 20/1 on Barrera winning in the first and evens on a win

happy days
