Khan vs Barrera - Your thoughts?

[Spacey1991]

I just thought I would post a thread asking you guys what you think the outcome of the Khan vs Barerra fight will be?

I think Khan does have the tools to beat Barerra with his skill set, however if he gets caught by Barerra flush I think the fight could be over instantly due to his weak chin. I voted Khan though because I think if he manages to outbox him and use skills, plus he probably learned some defense from Roach then he could win... I am not betting on this one though.

I'm sorry but there have been many threads like this the past couple of days and most people are split with the outcome but Khan has been given the slight edge due to his youth, speed and size. Personally, I think Barrera has too much left for Khan, but we'll see.

I think Khan will be too young, too fresh, too big, too tall and too fast for Barrera at this stage, an older fighter whose reflexes are going has the toughest time against guys who are fast, Barrera is obviously slipping and Khan is a fast guy.

What Khan has to do is keep Barrera at the end of his jab, which he should be capable of doing if his jab is as good as Freddie Roach says it is and Barrera has looked slower than ever in his last 2 fights against tomato cans, if Khan keeps pumping his jab and letting his punches go behind it, he should win this fight, he can't let Barrera get past that jab and work on the inside on him, his chin and overall punch resistance is too bad for that so whenever Barrera gets inside, he needs to clinch. And he needs to bring his left hand back up after he finishes jabbing because he has gotten hit in the past by overhand and looping right hands from smaller men, I'm sure Barrera is looking for that shot against Khan, a right hand over the left of Khan's. He can't go charging in on Barrera with his chin high and hands low like he has done against other opponents in the past, Barrera will make him pay if he does this, even at this stage, he's too experienced to not make Khan pay.

I think Khan will win the fight but 1 punch from Barrera can change everything.

I got Khan by UD

I think Barrera will stop Khan .

youth alone doesnt win fights. Khan is unproven against elite fighters. We dont even know if hes really that strong as he looks. Sure hes fast, but hes quite open as well. If Barrera doesnt come gunshy i dont see why he wouldnt win, hes got experience and strenght.

Remember Prescott in his last fight didnt look that strong as one could think by looking at him against Khan...that alone tells me that as soon as Barrera hits him flush, its game over once again.

[Abstraction]

Want to see Khan win, but i reckon Barrera will take it, personally

[Mersey]

I think Khan will win. The people who think MAB will win easily are delusional.

[P4P GOAT]

Im taking Barrera. I see Khan outboxing him building up a lead, but getting caught and stopped in the late rounds.

Barrera to win 8/9 TKO.

[The Great Shark]

Whoever voted against MAB in anyway, more particularly for Khan in a KO/TKO is ridiculous. After seeing him get exposed by Prescott, why would anyone want to vote for him??? It amazes me.
