khans size, youth, speed etc will pose problems for marco, but his chin is a serious liability, even at marcos diminished stage now, he can still hit harder than that gomez bum that dropped khan and the other bum that dropped him (limond?)
if khans chin werent so bad i'd favour him in this one, and his defence will have improved under roach but he wont be unhittable for marco, i think it will be a close, even contest which matches khans physical advantages against barerra's skills and experience
the outcome depends on which of these things happens first:
.khans sharp, crisp shots open up barerras cut
.barerra lands some good clean shots and finishes the job
and while it might not take long for khan to open up a significant enough cut to have the fight stopped, it still takes much longer than it takes for a few good shots to land, so thats why my pick is barrera by TKO
Seriously considering putting some bets on Barrera again. I canceled my original bet with Scott but now I'm not so sure again. It's very difficult to know exactly how much MAB has left in the tank. I hope he pulls this off.
This will be Khans first real test since his loss to Prescott and since he's been with Roach . It should be an interesting night of boxing ,.Plus we've got the Cook-Martinez fight to look forward to as well .
