Amir Khan -VS- Marco Antonio Barrera.. Official Poll!!

[BetterCallSaul]

It should be an interestung fight . It's a good opportunity for Khan . We should find out how he's improving since the Prescott fight against a vetran and legend like Barrera . Hopefully he does perform well and we might see him getting world ranked opponents next or even Thaxton or something maybe if we're lucky Katsidis David Diaz or something

Thaxton, after Barrera?

Thaxton hasn't beat anybody that even matches the class of a 35 yr old Barrera. If Khan beats Barrera, he is moving onto bigger and better things. And we will know if he has improved, because the Khan that stepped into the ring with Prescott, would get destroyed by Barrera.

But I do agree that someone like Katsidis, or Diaz is the next logical step. If he can overcome one of them, then a world title fight should follow.

[DrewWoodside]

Khan will win an easy UD or maybe a TKO

Barrera will gas after like 2 rounds and his handspeed wont be fast enough to counter anywhere near as effectively as he used to

Easy UD? What fights gave you this magical impression?

Easy UD? What gave you this magical impression?

Khan's evil genius promoter

the fact that Barrera was as good as done in 2006

the fact that Barrera is smaller and older

i think Barrera's just turning up for a cheque

[Scott9945]

Kahn is too big and young for MAB in 2009. He'll use his speed to box carefully and protect his chin to win a decision.

[Nate126]

Amir will stop him in the middle rounds.

[Ishy Aytan]

Lets be honest... Its another no win situation for Khan. If he wins he gets no credit, if he losses he get no credit.

This is what happens when you fight old guys.

He should have fought either Thaxton or Murray.

I hope Barerra Knocks Him Out.... Khan's ducking too many British fighters. He needs to fight them first.

[Chrismart]

Suppose it goes down to how much Barrera has left in him...im going to go for a Khan win though. Think he will stop Barrera around the 7th.

Hw wont get credit for the win bt he will have the name on his resume and the recognition for the W, he may even land himself a title shot if hes impressive...

on the poll question, depends on how much MAB has left. i think Khan will be cautious though, and cruise to a UD

1. His evil genious promoter already got him KO'd inside of one round on PPV.

2. Barrera was not done as he stood toe to toe with who is currently the #1 & #2 P4P fighters on the planet last we saw him.

3. Barrera is smaller and older, and this could be the dealbreaker.

4. Barrera is rich. He's doing this cause like many X-Champs, he loves fighting and can't call it quits.

Barrera can definitely lose but short of MAB turning up shot, this is going to be very very competitive.

[S.G.]

MAB turning up shot

which is what i strongly predict will be the case
