I dont think Barrera has the stamina anymore to go 12, Also he looked drained at the weigh in is his best hope to go all out in 1 round and try to take advantage of Kahns chin? Barrera did start as a bantam so does he even have the power to hurt Kahn no matter how bad his chin is?
Khan is a big guy for barrera and he can bang a bit and he's fast so i think mab should try and be a bit cautious and wait for an oppertunity. If mab lands flush khan will taste canvas sandwhich
willie limond had khan on damn ***** street that man has single digit KOs in over 30 fights I believe and was a superfeather , barerra is a natural super feather weight right now, these low weight classes have few pounds between them and barerra was only a young boy when he started pro khans a welterweight in disguise but he is so chinny its not even funny
I thought Barrera looked pretty good at the weigh in. Barrera could end it in round one but i wouldnt advise him to just go rushing in and i dont think he is going to. Educated pressure is what i think he will do and if Limond and Gomez can give Khan hell then i believe that this version of Barrera which is still levels above anything Khan has ever been in the ring with will be able to pull off a mid rounds stoppage. Fingers crossed.
definatly although the bookies don't see it like that at 28/1 odds (coral). As mentioned if Limmond and Gomez can put him down with single shots (i think Liminds was know Gomez's was) then Barrera can and he obviosuly is a better finisher. If Barrera kos Khan inside 6 i win £110. Really cant see it going late or Barrera winning on points. Good fight to put a bet on as loads of people fancy khan as its unknown how much Barrera has left, but the last thing to go is power and toughness.
Yes we Khan, Barrera TKO1! Na I really doubt Barrera will go all outs in one round especially after knowing that Khan will try to work on his defense after getting sparked in one. Barrera says he and King have a surprise, I believe the surprise is that Barrera will murder Khans body so bad that by the end of the eight round Khan will be saying "No Mas, Lad".:bbb Barrera TKO 8-9 round!
Don't forget Barrera has actually just moved up in weight. I don't like judging physiques from the weigh in as nearly all fighters are severely dehydrated at that point - see how he looks when he gets into the ring. One thing the weigh in did show well is the reach advantage Khan has, but his arms are a lot thinner than before which may make his defense a bit leaky- fractions count in this game. Of course Khan was dehydrated too:nut
Khan is a fast dude and hes gonna work on his defense to not expose the chin. So he wont be expecting the body attack and will fade dramatically after some liver bombs. This is when the Baby Faced Assassin goes for the kill and launches an assault on Khans paper chin.
Khan will be cagey and try to see out 2-3 cautious rounds .It will be outrageous if he goes down in the first.
