Who do you think will win in this fight and why? What do you think will be the main factor in the way the fight could go? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/cr...rly-awaited-American-debut-Las-Vegas-May.html http://www.dailystar.co.uk/inthering/view/119975/Amir-Khan-to-debut-in-Las-Vegas/
Khan will win this. He'll walk all over Marquez. Really, Marquez is great but at LWW he'll be too slow to catch Khan. I really hope Marquez will retire soon. He's had a amazing and tough career
Khan would win at 140. He's quick enuf to get out of trouble, while using that reach and height advantage against a smaller opponent.
My take: His physical advantages and his speed will have a huge role in this fight. They will keep him out of trouble. People think of this as a Khan-Barrera fight, I don't. I see it as a much harder fight. If Marquez can land a few good shots on Mayweather, then I'm sure he could land a couple on Khan. Thats why I see this as a very exciting dramatic fight. I think this could put Khan in the deep end and really test him. Khan doesn't cope well with pressure IMO (We don't know about that now though) And I'm sure Marquez will pressure Khan and I see Khan getting hit but we're yet to see the new Khan and we can be sure this won't be a ***an/Barrera/Kotelnik/Salita type fight. My verdict though: A possibly contriversial decision or UD.
im with you, i like kahn, i hope he grows into a superstar some day, but im gona say JMM still gots the tools to give kahn all sorts of problems, my biggest concern is if JMM can find an answer for those fast rangy hands kahns got, hes shown an amazing ability for solving some of the hardest puzzles boxing has to offer, heres hoping he can find a way around kahns style.
If Marquez is in decline, than Khan has a chance. He can jab to a UD. If the Marquez that faced Diaz shows up, I would give Khan has no chance. Would anyone?
I'm leaning towards JMM at this point, JMM caught Mayweather flush & hard on a couple of occassions, in particular just before the KD. If he caught Khan with that shot then I can see him troubling Khan. Also the fact that JMM is nowhere near as in decline as MAB was. I think Khan could have some trouble here.
Marquez who fought Floyd was out of his wieght by too much.Still managed to tag Floyd a few times.He's still one of the smartest fighters out there.I think he may have too nuch experience and pressure for Kahn.He never gave up against Floyd.he also wnts to be the first Mexican fighter to win titles in four divisions.Juan Manuel by hard fought decision or late round KO.
I'm leaning towards khan not because he's better but because of JMM's age. Khan's speed will make a difference, today's JMM doesn't have the same reflexes he had back years ago plus they are fighting at 140. I'm not counting out JMM though...
I'm choosing Khan on this fight. I think his speed and longer reach will frustrate JMM when he tries to close the gap. I predict a UD for Khan.
Khan is completely underated becuase of the prescott ko, his hype and his chin. despite all of these factors can be awesome going forward. I also think he has learned since the prescott ko and knows his vulnerabilities. Khan KO.
