My feeling is that Kahn will win the decision if you get my meaning. I could see a sudden demise of MAB, similar to that of Kindelan![]()

I picked Khan by TKO in the prediction contest
That goes against everything I believe in
screw it, Barrera by first time he lands anything
Barrera looks OK in the Sky build up shows.
Khan should win because of the natural physical advantages but I haven't got a clue what will happen. Just hope Barrera doesn't fold early.. if he's in it he can win it.
3-Time SADDO PREDICTION COMP CHAMPION.
I'am having a little bet on Khan to stop MAB round 8-11.
If Barrera wins i think it'll be by KO. Don't see him winning over the distance.
He's 11/4 to win by stoppage. I've backed worse 11/4 shots.
3-Time SADDO PREDICTION COMP CHAMPION.
If MAB can stay clear of Khan's hand speed and power for the first few rounds I'd say he has a chance of a later round KO/TKO, maybe between rounds 6 and 9.
Khan is pretty unproven at any kind of distance, especialy against a fighter like Barerra. The longer it goes the more chance MAB has.
I don't think this fight will go the whole distance thou.
As much as Khan has many of the skills required to be a great boxer, unfortunately for him a chin would have to be one of those, and however good the defensive coach, you can't avoid them all, and even Barrera with 50% of the power he had at his peak will rattle Khan badly when he does connect.
Agreed,think its coming down to that.I really think Khan will have to fight supremely smart/discipline and use his size,I do not think he can make many mistakes at all and not be made to pay a taxing price.Where as even a long in the tooth Marco can capitalize on green mistakes...hes a boxing truth detector. Kahn will get tagged hard at some point early while boxing out and have to plant his feet...trade to keep Barrera off.Oops.He has never been in trenches this deep.Barrera via TKO 7
I favor Khan to win for his speed if he lasts 12 rounds with Barrera.

ah phooey to the lot of you.Khan runs like a bitch, looks to flurry and leg it again for 12 rounds. Barrera brings the fight to Khan. Khan loses focus and loses the fight.

i think he was talking about Barerra defeating Hamed who was a british fighter and now predicting him to beat Khan who is a british prospect. There was a story on fightnews about Khan saying he will get revenge on barerra for hamed or something like that.
But I think Freddie Roach will give Khan a great gameplan against Barerra.
I don't think Barerra has the kind of one punch power the other guy had, he has accumulative punches and wearing people down punches and if Khan isn't there to be worn down then Barerra TKOing him probably isnt gonna happen. He isnt gonna do what Juan Diaz did and go in guns blazing with zero defense.
