    Jesus christ, I dont think anyone saw this one coming...

    Its hard to say how much he has left but Barrera could produce a masterclass. Dangerous choice for Khan, after being KO'd by an unknown fighter you would think he'd have a few more wins in him before taking on a fight like this.

    Intriguing matcup. Hugely surprised by it. What does Roach and Warren know that the rest of us dont?

    Right out of leftfield this one. Think MAB will be way too much but good on Khan for stepping up.

    Amen. See these kind of fights really capture my imagination. Different weights, careers, clas gap, youth, its a perfect mix, I can see a proper 12 round war, and Khan cant lose tbh. As long as he makes it past he 60 second mark ;)

    Completely out of the blue, this one. I'm still too surprised to try to think about how the fight could go yet!

    Sheesh!

    Khan could be in for a hiding here.

    Wonder if it will be on Pay Per Poo, or is that a stupid question......

    i think roach must have seen enough of khan, especially in the sparring with manny to think he has a very good chance. should be a fun fight.

    exactly.

    the first thing that popped into my mind was that dean powell and fwanky boy know something we don't know.

    I think this could be a quality fight. If Khan avoids getting hit in the head and Barrera keeps his energy levels up this could be a great fight

    This Khan guy is turning into another calzaghe, fighting old dudes. Barrera, who cares? Another circus act for Warren.
