    Just thought I'd say that it has been amazing, really got me excited for tomorrow night. I'm gutted I won't be there to see it live and that I havn't been lucky enough to bump into Marco.
    I don't think a fight has had so much hype here since Hatton-Mayweather! Sky have really done a great job, I'm just hoping for a good fight and that the best man wins, a big test for Khan but credit for taking it and making a come back from his devistating knock out loss to Breidis Prescott. Barrera has had a great reception over here and should feel like the hometown fighter when he makes his way to the ring!
    Can't wait, I'm going for Khan on points but I wouldn't be surprised if Barrera knocks him out. It really is a pick 'em fight. We'll see if Khan is ready and how much Barrera has left.

    Khan would lose to Prescott in a rematch. There is no way he beats Barerra.

    Its a great match up and I think Khan has to become the 1st guy to stop Barerra to win. (excluding that stupid DQ to Junior Jones).
    I just cant see him lasting the distance with Barrera especially if he goes into uncharted waters late on.
    Bravo to the promoters for making this fight happen!

    How about Pac's TKO win over MAB?

    Anyway, I'm rooting for the Khan to do well, maybe even win. Or at least give a close, tough fight that lasts the distance.

    But I think MAB gets this one.

    Programme starts at 9 so main event should be 10ish probs. I'm routing for Barrera, Khan hasn't earned his shot and his team have picked on Barrera like a vulnerable old man. Lets see Barrera prove them wrong. He's coming to win, make no mistake about that.

    My biggest worry with this fight is the referee might be overeager to stop it if Khan lands a few clean punches

    I'm changing my pick. Khan will be too negative, he is over confident that he can just cruise to a points win. Barrera will get to him and knock him out.

    If Khan beats Barrera the result has more to do with the decline of Barrera than the skills of Khan. Khan will eventually be stopped the same as he was before. If Barrera has anything left he will stop Khan in midrounds.
