    I've thought about it....

    22 years old....
    Knocked out 6 months ago by a nobody.....
    Promised to come back stronger......

    He dererves credit for taking this fight even if Barrera is a long way past his best.

    Sincerely good luck to the lad. He's fighting one of my all time faves but i'm not going to be half as gutted as I thought I would be if he pulls it off....

    So while its not

    COME ON AMIR, MY OLD CHINA!!!

    its....

    GOOD LUCK DUDE....... YOU MAY NEED IT

    apparently 11pm.

    I was a big critic of Amir a year ago, but I am cheering him on in this fight.

    I've certainly been no fan of Khan's in the past but am wishing him good luck tonight.

    Limmonds a sharper puncher then people realise. But your right Barreras going to be too good if he's anywhere near 50%..... I just think mental attitude is going to play a part tonight... And I don't think Barreras got it anymore.

    aye...i like khan..he has such amazing skills when he's attacking...he's amazing to watch...pity he cant take a big shot, but it'll be interesting to see if roach has help with his defensive skills much...i noticed in lots of his fights that he would get hit with overhand rights a lot..but, still, he is sublime to watch...

    as for barrera...i cant imagine they would let khan anywhere near him at this stage of khans comeback...not unless the camp are very sure that barrera is fairly faded...
    but,i wrote marquez off the other week and he shocked the hell out of me...so i dunno..

    on the other hand this is barrera up at lightweight..and khan is a big lightweight...but they have operated worlds apart as far as quality of opposition goes...

    ah..fook it...i still cant pick..


    anyway...yes...good luck amir {although i dont want to see barrera beat up}

    Good luck from me too, hope he pulls it off. Comparisons to Limmond etc are all fair enough but that was some time back...hoping to see lots of improvements under Roach
