    Does anyone seriously predict Khan victory?



    If you look closely, he is rocked from a well landed jab, around the 0:10 mark, a few seconds before being really hit.

    And his big comeback fight after this he fought a part-time fighter, full time P.E teacher, who broke his ankle in the 2nd and fought on.

    I think Roach will have thought him enough so he wont get caught in the first again, but Barrera need only one good combo and this one is finished, along with Khans prospects.

      If Khan can stay away from Barrera's big shots, he has every chance of winning: he's younger, faster, stronger and bigger.

      It all depends on how good a job Roach has done regarding his defence.

        Barrera shouldn't land anything big witht he size difference and a good gameplan.

        Come fight night, Khan will look like Barrera's dad in there and it will really look like he should be buying Barrera an ice-cream and not punching him in the face.

        Khan's chin is awful, but Barrera is a natural super-bantam, Khan looks like a welterweight at least.

        If Khan get's knocked out again, there is no chance of him ever being anything above a British,Commonwealth and European Champ. He's already a millionnaire, so he'd have to question if it was worth it.

          Dont really have a feel for this one. Dont think a Khan victory would be that outlandish.

            Barrera is calling for a title shot if he wins, think Khan deserves the same if he can do the job?

            As much as spin is trying to be put on this fight for Khan, I think Barrera is too experianced for him an will know what has to be done and how.

                I really like Khan, but he is no way ready for a title-fight yet.

                I was looking a Juan Diaz in the early rounds against Marquez, and that guy beats Khan 365 times if he fights him everyday, because of the pressure and handspeed that is surprisingly fast.

                Barrera at this point is a counter-puncher, that suits Khan. He'll just fire of jabs at range, get out of there and rack up points. He's too big for him.

                  He has to, he can't allow an old fighter like Barrera to beat him if he wants to be a serious contender.

                  Barrera is done, he's at least 6 years past his prime. I love Barrera and think he's an ATG but if Khan can't beat him at this stage then Khan needs to retire after this fight.
