    If Barrera is even 50% of what he once was he will KO Khan.

    khan's chin is very suspect (that's being polite) so anyone who gets into the ring with him has a puncher's chance. lol its like the old baseball analogy: "swing hard just in case you hit it!!" if you have a good chin like mb does, just get in there and go balls out b/c you know this kid is too young and fast to box and trade jabs with. why not just try to pressure the hell out of him and swing for the fences??

    I'm almost certain MAB will KO Khan. He's been keeping busy, fighting every two months last two fights, on a win short win streak, has adapted to 135 pounds. I think he is going to get right in Khan's face and make him lose his nerve pretty early, when Khan panics, MAB will knock him out.

    I think Barerra should win this fight, but this is Khan's shot at a coming out party if he wins.

    It depends on what Khan turns up.

    There is a possibility Khan could come out and get Barrera out of there relatively early as he's got the reach, speed, and ability to put together dangerous combinations to stun Barrera and have him trouble.

    If the fight is a tactical one then I can see Barrera working his way into the fight, loosening up, and beginning to open a can of whoop ass on Khan with clever counter-punching and body shots.

    I lean with Khan just as I think Barrera's legs may desert him if he gets caught early and I see Khan getting off before Barrera, at least in the first few rounds.

    If Barrea has anything at all left then yes he will. It just remains to be seen what he has left because no matter what level you used to fight at in your prime, age eventually gets to everyone and turns them into bums who can be beat by even the most suspect of fighters.
