I can't work out what Khan's handlers are hoping to achieve with this. He's on for a hiding and I can only think that Khan's people are banking on Barrera being a completely shot now. Barrera to take him back to school I reckon.

I don't understand why people are so suprised by this. Barrera is a 35 year old Featherweight fighting a very BIG fast, powerful lightweight. If Khan wins this could really launch him on the world stage whether Barrera is shot or not. I have a feeling this could be another Chaves/De La Hoya. It all depends if Khan can keep Barrera away from his chin, if Khan can do that he'll stop him in 8 IMO.

Khan will swing away and Barrera will put him away with one of his fantastic upper-cuts.

I don't think Khan & Roach will be that naive.

Roach certainly not, Khan quite possibly, still too inexperience to be going up against a very intelligent boxer.

I wonder if Warren is under pressure to deliver the goods for Sky Box Office. To be fair to him, I’ll probably pay for this, whereas usually I don’t.

khan will get hammered barrera will be too smart and continuelly catch him barrera knock out 7th

Khan has lot all the ground he ever made with that one loss and I think this fight smacks me as a huge risk to regain some momentum.

Boxing is about belief and hype. I doubt there are many out there who believe in Khan right now but with a win against Barrera? I think the management is gambling on interest in him increasing again.

He doesn't really have anything to lose with this one tbf.

i reckon khan will knock him out

In his dreams.

I might have a bet on Khan for this one, if the odds are good. He's much bigger than Barrera and surely cannot make the same mistakes he did against Prescott. However I still see Barrera as the favourite.

khan knocks him out in 3.....and £10 of my hard earned money will be placed on that outcome

it's at the MEN arena. tickets priced @ £40 to £300 www.seetickets.com/see/price.asp ... 66&userid={68D1D2B2-303D-4C3A-9C44-59081C708410}&filler1=see&filler2=375266

Should bet on both.

Bill Hills and Ladbrokes both have different fighters as favourite.

Barrera in three by KO.

I can see this going the distance and Berrera just giving Khan a boxing lesson just like he did with Nassem Hamed.

Although I do hope Khan get's his ass handed to him and get's knocked out in the early rounds

i reckon khan will just be too big for Berrera, 5'6 v 5'11, not to mention the difference in weight that they come into the ring at which could be as much as 14lb or more in khan's favour..i'm in no doubt freddie roach will tell khan to use his reach,keep his distance and pick barrera of with jabs and booming rights...


as i said,khan in 3...the bookies are offering 9/1 on khan to win in between 1-3rds

heavyweight tyson fury is on itv4 in abit..

he's 20 and 6'7 ..it's his 2nd fight and he's fighting a fighter with a 21-3 record with 20ko's

should be interesting

Could have been! Good work by Fury,for someone so big.Good defence too,but we'll have to see if he can take a dig for now.Main event should be a good un.

Anyone know if Margarito v Mosley is on the box on saturday night ?

Setanta IIRC...

Ooooooh that'll be good! What time do we reckon it'll start? Is it Vegas or New York or somewhere else even?
