Amir Khan Vs. M.A. Barrera

Mosley is 37 and killed Margarito. I can't see why a 34 year old Barrera wouldnt be able to do the same to Kahn. Maybe they think he is shot because of his many wars ?
Very risci but props to Khan for taking the fight.

OK so the fight is almost upon us any predictions???

I think Barrera KO early to middle rounds

Khan by stoppage or decision. 5 years ago I'd say the other way round but nope... I think Khan will win, and look very impressive doing it.

Hopefully he doesn't get Ko'd in round 1 and I can't show my face again lol

Same. I don't see Khan knocking out Barrera...but I could see a referee stopping the fight due to MASSIVE beating with lots of punches and hand speed. If the referee is more laid back I think it will go to a decision.

MY PREDICTION:

Amir Khan wins via Unanimous Decision

PS - It's my girlfriends birthday this saturday and we are going to a club that is just 5 mins walk from the MEN Arena where the fight is taking place...so maybe I will see Amir if he comes to party haha

Got a wierd feeling that Barrera will wana finish the fight but the corner stops it lol

went to the weigh in today both fighters in good condtion and confident i even got my big voice on youtube ha

Khans speed is lethal!

Khan won on a headbutt. Such bullshit fights these days.

Aye, because Khan was gettin lashed anyway, I know what you mean Prof. Barrera must have been at least 10 points ahead. I mean, if it wasn't for that cut Khan would have got stopped in the 6th because of the beating he was taking.

Your poor attempt at sarcasm is....well poor. The headbutt occurred in round 1, the same cut(it didn't get worse or anything) that stopped the fight. Barrera had do incur an incredible handicap from basically the start of the fight of having a large cut bleeding into your eye. Barrera is too much of a warrior though to let it got to a No Contest, and wanted to continue to fight despite his hinderance but the doctor finally stopped it ironically, a round after the Technical Decision comes into factor.

Barrera would have lost anyway even without the cut as khan's speed was way too much for him, but the way it was stopped was definately to favour the hometown boxer, I mean the doctor stopping it in round 5 when it could go to the scorecards?, it stunk big time, but like I said even without the cut Khan would have won.

And your attempt and being funny and judging a bout is completely pathetic. Every single British boxer you comment on you're negative about, do you actually follow Boxing as a sport or nations? Barrera was looking for a big punch throughout but couldn't get it, Khan's defence was impressive considering that it's always been his weakness. Barrera got one big shot in round 4 or 5 and couldn't make anything of it, Khan took it and continued to dazzle Barrera with his work rate and speed. Barrera never had a chance, he's past it. In his prime, most likely, but he didn't look like he had anything on Khan bar experience, Khan had all the physical advantages and used them to batter him.

Khan has no punching power at all, he would have lost if they didnt stop the fight. Its smells like RIGGED to me stopping a fight in the 5th round so Khan would get the technical decision only cause hes fighting in hes hometown.

I know, it was pretty rigged. MAB wins if they ever fight again. Khan will probably make sure they fight when MAB is near 40 to make things easier upon himself as he has no chin. I bet the headbutt was intentional too.

Khan won every round though...you act like he was getting beat by MAB.
If the fight continued he would of won the fight by unanimous decision anyway I think... (just like i predicted before the fight)

I don't understand the hate Khan is getting...he fought well...in and out...he fought smart...hit MAB loads and then moved out of range...then came back again with lots of punches...then back out again to defend...very slick boxing in my eyes.
