Barrera is a very smart fighter, he will land on Khan and if Willie Limond can knock him down i'm sure MAB can KO him.

My money will be on Barrera by KO

Freddy doesnt seem too confident himself. He basically says 'if he beats him now then its the case that he can do something else'. Looks like hes seeing if his time with Amir is good investiment or not.

It's such a simple fight to plan out, all Khan has to do is stay calm and not trade with Barrera. Stay behind the jab and weather the early storm from Barrera, wear him out and take over in the later rounds.

You just know there will be a point in the fight though where he will go for it being too confident and get tagged.

That's the thing, I don't even think Khan will have to weather any early storm. MAB is the type of fighter that's gets better as the fight goes on. Kahn needs to start early and jump on him.

Not in a reckless fashion but be agressive and take MAB out of his comfort zone. MAB is just to old at this stage, I don't see him winning.

That's what I'm hoping for. It doesn't matter how much Roach improves Khan, the guy can't take a punch!

It's Frank Warren's crafty match making. He has pulled off a great one here which will con people into thinking he is amazing and ready for a world title shot. He will blatantly get a WBO title shot next or soon if he beats Barrera. Marquez will probably vacate it soon and move to 140 so it will be for a vacant belt against easy opposition too.

If Khan wins, he wins on points.
