It's intriguing, and that's why it appeals to me as a boxing fan.  I too have no idea on what the outcome will be. If Barrera is anywhere near his best, then he'll be too much for Khan.  But he isn't, and Khan always has a puncher's chance.  Hopefully Roach has sorted out the gaping flaws in Khan's defence, and if he has, Khan offers a lot going forward.

Could be a corker.

I'm seriously starting to wonder if this fight is on the square having just looked on BF and seen that Khan is 8/11.

Know what you mean, last time I bet on Khan I got stung when his opponent was simply not fit. A fully fit and flying Barrera would mop Khan up but this is still a very interesting fight.

Such a tough one to call but I lean ever so slightly towards Khan, I think he is simply too big for Barrera and combine that with his speed, youth and power and think he might be too much of an unstoppable force.

If Marco can weather the storm for the first 4 rounds, then Khan is in trouble, but I think Khan may end up ragging him around like Pacman did in their first fight.

I've seen Khan to win by KO at nearly 4-1 briefly on Betfair, that could be the value bet.

I think this is going to go to points i just cant see Khan taking barrera out and the longer it goes on i fancy barrera to do enough to nick it,if khan is to win it i'd say he has to do it within 4/5 rounds

barrera split decision

If it goes to points, I'll be surprised if Barrera isn't ahead by quite a few rounds.

Oh, the scoring should be fine (he says).  But if it becomes a 12-rounder, I just don't see Khan out-boxing Barrera over the course of the fight.  Defensively, Barrera is too good.  BUT, he's an ageing fighter, Khan has one of the best trainers in his corner, Khan's a lot bigger, it's in Manchester, etc.

Proper looking forward to it.

Bad beat. 

Sort out the food to start early
Turn up complaining of stomach bug
Just before 9 o'clock, go to toilet and make loud vomiting noises
Excuse yourself and say you don't want to spoil anyone else's night
Get home in time for the fight with a 4-pack of stella.

thumbs up

Aggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh. FYL.

(It'll be a shit fight anyway, so you won't be missing much.  We all know what the result is going to be, and so it's not going to be exciting at all - does that help?)
