Cracking nights action as Warren has Nicky Cook, Enzo Mac and Kevin Mitchell all on the same card.
Credit where credit it is due and Warren has pulled out all the stops here and deserves some respect for putting on what is set to be a brilliant night of fighting.
Shame it's on PPV (Sky Box office) really
"Barrera says he wants to win a world title at lightweight. “I know there’s not much time left,” Barrera said in a recent interview. “I have three, maybe four, fights left, but I want that fourth title.”
Nicky Cook, Enzo Maccarinelli and Kevin Mitchell are all due to box on the same bill which will be broadcast on Sky Box Office."
I think Khan may well get battered here as Barrera is as hard as they come and if he's serious about wanting his 4th title is still gonna be a massive force.
Maybe a chance for Amir if he can use his brain and box on the outside (a small one granted) But he always seems to get involved in a toe to toe which is suicide against someone like Barrera.
This is still sinking in for me and i'm shocked he and Warren have taken this route....maybe he gave Frank an ultimatum and left him no choice and threatened to jump ship if these sort of fights were not gonna be coming his way this year.
Latest William Hill betting Odds.
AMIR KHAN is set for a sensational next fight, taking on seven times World Champion, Marco Antonio Barrera - one of the all time greats, who finished the career of Prince Naseem. And William Hill believe Khan has a real chance of winning the fight against the 34 year old, making Barrera 1/2 favourite, with Khan 6/4 and the draw a 20/1 chance. 'As Oscar de la Hoya showed recently, fighters often grow old in the ring and suddenly find they have nothing left in the tank. Barrera has had a long, active career and just might find Khan's speed and power overwhelming him. But he also has great experience and will know that Khan can be knocked out, so Amir will have to come of age and fulfill his full potential to win this one' said Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe. Hiills make Barrera 11/8 to win by knockout, with Khan 9/2 to do likewise.
**KHAN is 4/1 with Hills to win a version - IBF, WBA, WBC, WBO- of the World title during 2009.
