Chi's a good fighter, and I dont see how this can be anything but an exciting fight. Would we all prefer him to fight Barrera? Yeah, sure. But I think this is an exciting, competitive fight that will be worth watching.

I personally would rather see him fight Edwin Valero rather than Chi OR Barrera, but this will tide us over.

Chi is Wan Po Long's favorite fighter. I bet Wan is pumped over it.
