Amir Khan v Marco Barrera

[spencer]

Is it me?
Or does everyone else think that Amir is in for another boxing lesson?

I really think that this fight could a little bit to soon.
To fight someone like Barrera so early seems like he's taking a big risk.

What does everyone else think?

It's Marco Barrera.

I happen to be a boxing fan and think Khan will win this. He has an excellent trainer in Roach. Has gained experience in sparring with the best P4P fighter in Pacquio and is more confortable at the weight they will fight in.

I'm thinking of betting £24 on Khan winning.

Well I think its bit of a big step up to what he's used to fighting.
And I do think it could go either way, if Barrera doesn't bring it to the table.
:boxer:
But if Barrera turns up wanting to fight, I can see Amir getting put on his ass again.
I am a boxing fan myself, but I've always thought that Khan was over rated far to early in his career. And his defeat showed that he hasn't got the chin that everyone thought he had.

I'm still with Barrera on this one, but if Khan does win it will certainly change my opinion of him.

Khan does have a suspect chin. But his defeat to Prescot was probably a blessing in disguise. It forced him to go to America and hire one of the best trainers in the world and also spar with some of the best fighters around. I hope he pulls it off.
