    If khan loses he has nowhere to go , Frank knows this so wouldn't let Khan anywhere near Barrera if they were'nt at least 90% sure he was done , so on that basis its a win for Khan so he can add an "old name" to his record.

    the closer this fight gets the more one sided i see it being.


    Expect khan to proclaim himself Pacman , Morales and Marquez rolled into one after the fight !

    It's a lose, lose situation for Khan in some eyes....

    Personally I think Barrera is shot to **** after his spell out and recent loses and form. I will be surprised if he can keep in the fight for more than 3 rounds and will expect Khan to stop him around the 5th.

    if khan wins hes deserves credit, marcos still a dangerous fighter and a good test for anybody in the LW division

    I'm starting to lean more and more towards Khan as I study Barrera's recent fights, and the difference between that Barrera and the one of even a few years ago.

    It's just fun to say Barrera by KO, it would be hilarious.

    I don't know whether it will be a KO or decision, though. I could see a St Clair like effort, or Barrera's age/recent cut being issues, as well as the ref being absolutely desperate to jump in and wave his arms.

    Bearing in mind I am crap at making predictions and analyzing fights I think this is the most difficult fight to pick in recent times so here goes...............

    I think if Barerra can overcome the inevitable early onslaught he can win it in the second half of the fight.

    But with a British ref on a Warren bill it will be difficult for him to overcome the early blitz.

    I'm going for Khan via (controversial) stoppage around the 6th.

    If I see an early stoppage ala Calzaghe vs Manfredo I will be getting out of my seat, jumping in the ring, and knocking that incompetent ref the **** out.

    nah being realistic, marco either stops him, or khan wins on points.. i cant see khans little flurries stopping barrera, khan ain't got that much power.. an barreras got a tight defence and is durable as ****, with a massive heart and determination !!...

    barrera wont wanna get stopped, so if he knows hes loosing i can see him covering up and trying survive..

    i can see loads of situations happening, i can definitely see khan getting shook up at some stage, barreras not a big puncher at world level, but I'm sure hes knocked out people with better chins that khan
