Amir KHAN VS Marco Antonio BARRERA on March 14th Amir KHAN VS Marco Antonio BARRERA « Frank Warren TV News It’s been confirmed on Frank Warren’s website for March 14th 2009.
This is make or break for Kahn even though Barrera is well past his best. I still think Marco will kick his ass anyway.
Exactly... He DOESN'T Trust his Chin Enough to WORK his Way to a Money Fight, so he's JUMPING On this 1... Khan is Living Proof of Just How DIFFERENT Pro & Ammy Boxing Really R...w/the Headgear & Bigger Gloves, Khan's a Silver Medalist...MINUS Those Elements, he's BARELY Average... REED:hammert:
I'm not even sure Barrera will win. He's old as hell, innactive, and is a career featherweight. Khan has a pretty good chance of winning.
Khan is TROUBLED by ANY Flushly Landed Punch, Brother X...Even JABS...& Barrera has ALWAYS Been a Fairly ACCURATE Puncher... Khan's China CHIN Is Accentuated by his DREADFUL DEFENSE...He'll Try to IMPOSE himself on the Smaller Barrera & EAT LEATHER N Route to Being Stopped... AGAIN.... REED:hammert:
I'm not sure about it either, but has Kahn even had one fight with Roach in his corner yet? This just screams cash out. He recently got KO'd by an unkown in the first round. Barrera may not have 1 punch KO power but he's not feather fisted. If Kahn can't dominate Marco eary he's done. This will be the second flashy more style than substance Euro Barrera will lay a beating on. artie:
What does 1 Have to Do w/the Other???...Rocky Juarez DOESN'T have a 60 Second KO LOSS on his Record Either... REED:hammert:
Barrera is an average sized featherweight, Khan is a fucking big lightweight. Barrera is approaching shotness, Khan is a borderline bum. As shitty as Khan's chin is, I don't know if he gets KO'd with a featherweight punch. My official pick is Barrera wins easily, mid to late stoppage, but I wouldn't be shocked if trashkhan pulled it out, for the simple reason that Barrera is pretty far past his best, and is much smaller. My guess is this is a sort of cash out fight, but one they have a semi-realistic chance of winning, given barrera's size and age.
REED Thinks Barrera's WILLING to Take MORE than Khan can Take...Besides that, Barrera's a BETTER Defensive Fighter than Khan... Khan's been Getting DRILLED & DROPPED by Guys who AREN'T on the Level of a Fading Barrera... REED:hammert:
khan is not as bad as the KO loss might indicate, I see a cautious performance where he uses his reach difference and moves a lot, survives some shaky monents and wins a decision in a performance allegedly warren will label "masterful" he will then be rewarded with the WBO title/interim title
Not on the skill level of Barrera. But Barrera's skills, and intelligence, are used much more for self-preservation than they used to be. I question how much Barrera exposes himself in this fight, unless he's forced to.
Here's how this works out... Khan is good going forward, and Werren clearly thinks he has a chance against a truly dire, slow and shot to pieces MAB. Unfortunately, even this terribly diminished version of MAB hits hard enough to KHTFO. Khan's chin is absolutely HORRIBLE. Even those who like a fair bit of what Amir has (me included) know for an absolute FACT that anyone capable of throwing shots can spark him out. Fuck me; Presscott had Khan on wobbly legs after 15 seconds with a JAB :doh: This is an absolute cash out fight; Khan had better hope and pray that MAB is beyond gone over the horizon, otherwise his career is toast. Liek he gives a fuck- he's done absolutely nothing and is already worth millions... If anyone, anywhere, offers MAB at anywhere near evens, I'll be lumping on. Seriously. Khan's chin is THAT bad... MTF
Willie Limond, at his absolute best, isn't fit to mop the spit off MAB's chest. and he had Khan on queer street for over a minute. Willie Limond; selected as a pillow fisted puncher, lest we forget... Shot, old, diminished, near dead MAB> ANY version of Willie fucking Limond MTF
