    I mean he's only just fought like a week ago and he fights khan in 6 weeks time - thats not your typical vetran fighter.

    it suggests he is coming to win , I thought this had money match written all over it but Barrera being so active suggests he is coming to put Khan in his place !

    Very strange, he can't need the money at this point of his career. Most likely explanation I think is that this fight was signed and sealed before he knew anything about Khan.

    Could be that he knows he needed a tune up before fighting Khan. Nothing like getting in ten rounds after a bit of a lay off to sharpen up. I heard Marco looked fat and slow in his last fight, but he was just shaking off the cobwebs. Against Khan, he'll be sharper and in better condition.

    he fought a tune up fight, it was like a sparring session against a super bum so he got practise infront of people instead of in the gym. and yes hes coming to win.

    he thinks he can do a "hamed schooling performance" all over again...khan is a different kind of fighter, style wise...only going for barrera is that khan's chin is pretty lame...

    barrera wont handle khan's speed, specially in his age...

    Just proves he's serious and wants to make fights happen. If you guys didn't know this yet, Khan is now the betting favorite over Barrera after the cut Barrera suffered and was still given the green light to go on and make the fight.

    Did you see Amir Khan's last opponent?, he wasn't better AT ALL. Was he a taxi or a tailor?

    He's drooling about PACMAN's MILLIONS pouring in. He wants a piece of it, but obviously too late already for him. :hat

    Hmmm if MAB isn't betting favourite then that really suprises me!! Still I do like khans chance - speed and youth vs age n experience. Just will have to see if MAB can land his best on khans suspect chin.

    As much as I admire Barrera's determination here, I still think it's pretty irresponsible to fight so close to the Kahn bout. This was an unecassary risk.
