Im hoping beyond ****ing hope that Khan doesnt win.......**** the hype train was derailed by Prescott for a bit and if he beats MAB it will be back with avengence. I think if Barrera is 50% of what he once was he will stop Khan. I think Khans speed may make it interesting.
khans only hope is to put the pressure on mab early big time, use is great speed and overwhelm mab, push for the KO, i know it is a risky start but it is his best chance without a doubt if MAB can weather the early storm khan will get batterd, MAB has been in the ring with extreamly higher pedigree fighters, many levels above kahn (khan at the moment is top british or european at best) as long as MAB fitness is there he will batter khan without a doubt, ring rust is not a question becaue he has had a fight and has a fight in hand, the only issue is complacency
I think the only way Khan's gonna win this is if MAB is totally shot. The change in weight may not do MAB any favours also. Even a Barrera at 50% should make mincemeat of Khan.
interesting fight from a british point of view and those who have been fed the khan hype since the olympics as i thought it would be a while before any interest in khan occurred again. Problem with Khan saying everything anyone got i can beat is that its not true when anyone with a fist that might connect can beat him. I hope Amir puts on a good show win or lose as he is good as a positive british asian role model but i'll probably be putting on a couple knock out bets against him - keeping my eye on the forum before picking some rounds (that said not sure what the odds will be like now his chin is total common knowledge - might just have to back khan as he still can punch and might get good odds on a ko - i await some insightful posts from the more knowledgeable posters).
this is the best fight for khan tbh. i dont know if he can beat barrera. But this is a great fight. rather than just hanging around knocking bums out for another few years, he might aswell just go for it now and if he falls short, better sooner than later tbh.
Watching the video, it looks as though Khan thinks it's a mistake and Warren knows it's a great last paycheque.
Khan has all the heart in the world unfortunately not the chin to back it up! If you look at the Gomez fight he was badly hurt but composed himself and dug deep for the win. That said If MAB hurts him he won't let him off the hook and will finish him! Its Crazy matchmaking as far as i see it! If he loses this very very lose-able fight then hes done! end of career and hes a 22 year old prospect, Nuts!
