    So.....Khan/Barrera

    Does anyone really believe this kid is going to be able to beat the guy who ended Hamed's career?

    I don't really see the point of this match-up unless the fix is in, easy Barrera win.

    I don't think it is out of the question, that Khan smashes Barrera to bits.

    If you look at the facts. If Khan didn't have the punch resistance of an 8-year-old girl he'd be an overwhelming favourite.

      I couldn't decide but I picked Khan today. The weigh in swayed me in his favour.
      But it does decide on how good/bad MAB is

          Does anyone remember that a month and a half ago Barrera sustained a brutal gash over his left eye that seriously compromised the fight?

            Same here, 50K says Khan wins.

              I'd forgotten about that

              everything, everything is pointing towards a Khan win

              I'll be absolutely amazed (and happy) if Barrera pulls this off

                I would but I think I've bet them all with some poster on the Hatton/Pac fight.

                PResumably those that think Khan will win think Prescott would destroy Barrera?

                  Don't get me wrong, I'm all about the underdogs pulling off the upset. But here, I just can't see it happening.

                  A month and a half is just not enough time for a cut to heal. The second a right hand lands on that spot, it's going to burst open.

                    Triangle theories, they don't work in boxing.

                    Junior Jones knocked Barrera out and beat him in a decision, but then Barrera went and pounded out Erik Morales, winning two out of three fights.

                    Does that mean Jones beats Morales? Nope, Morales knocked him out in four.

                    Same with Barrera knocking out McKinney, but then McKinney knocked out Jones.
