    I've seen lesser cut's that have stopped fighter's from sparring and takeing the fight.

    I must say Barrera still looked dangerous in that clip of last nights fight.

    I can just imagine the small print on the khan/barrera tickets..

    "no refund under any circumstances"

    barerra looked good, he was timing the kid pretty good, i can see him throwing them counters when khan does them wreckless flurrys.... he can punch aswell, definitely enough to put khan on the floor

    Well if the fight does still go ahead i hope Khan does'nt open up that damn cut, which could lead to a stoppage or Barrera losing focus.

    Barrera does'nt seem to handle cut's too well.

    Some fighter's are hard as nails but cut's seem to bother them.

    Then you have the likes of Hatton who is'nt bothered by cut's at all.

    I guess some people react differently to different types of pain.

    The fight was at walking pace, and certainly no indication as to what an encounter with Khan would be like. As for the cut, i've had bigger ones on my ****.

    Barrera looked alright last night, shame about the headbutt which cut the bout short. Still not much of an indicator about whether or not he still has 'it'. Defo safe to say he is not shot by any means. The other dude didn't offer much apart from constantly being on the move. Rojas caught Barrera with a couple of shots here and there, Khan will be throwing more no doubt, so will be interesting to see Barrera responding to them. Hope the fight still goes on. Right now though, I still think Barrera will be way too clinical for Khan, in this fight he was very measured and did not rush in, basically took his time picking his shots. One word though, IF (rather a huge one) Khan does win, I think he should genuinely be given credit for it, and not saying he beat a 'shot, past it, old timer' etc.

    You actually managed to **** me off with the thought we paid for Mrs Warrens conservatory :lol: It should be a good night out anyway but in hindsight I probably shouldn't have rushed to get tickets. Everyone said they were selling out though so we though screw it, just buy them.

    Theres no doubt Mrs Warren will be pleased that hubby Frank has made the Barrera match up.

    Things were looking bleak for Sports Network and Mrs Warren is use to being kept in the lap of luxury.

    Frank had to go against his usual habit of easy fights for his fighters and seek out a big name for Khan..............but it was just a scam to improve ticket sales.

    Everyone knew there was something fishy when barrera was annouced to fight Khan it just seemed too good to be true a rather odd fight to make.

    People said they would believe it when they see it..........and now they might not see it !!

    But Mrs Warren still sees that Kicthen get a renvoation off the ticket sale money ;)
