Amir Khan Vs Marco Antonio Barerra March 14th 09

Amir Khan has landed a massive fight with former three-weight world champion Marco Antonio Barrera.

The Briton has been thrown in at the deep end by promoter Frank Warren just six months after his shocking first round defeat to Breidis Prescott.

Khan returned to action in December with a polished victory over Oisin Fagan after teaming up with trainer Freddie Roach for the first time, and a fight with former WBO super-featherweight champion Alex Arthur had been mooted for 2009

Barerra is well past his best but I think he will still be to good for Khan, Khan still has a lot to learn and Barerra should give him a lesson.

Khan got KOED by an unknown a few months ago and IIRC Barerras last fight was a split decision loss to Pacquiao.

Re: Amir Khan Vs Marco Antonio Barerra March 14th 09

I had a tenner on a Bredis knockout in the 1st round last time, biggest amount I've ever won. Not sure about the result in this bout, think it's 50-50 depending on Barrera's form. Quick prediction Barrera to win in knockout or it'll go all the way.

I don't think it is and think thats why they have choose Barerra to fight Khan, no shame in loosing against Barerra but if he wins he will have beaten one of the best boxers in the last 20 years.

Re: Amir Khan Vs Marco Antonio Barerra March 14th 09

I personally hope khan gets hammered. I think hes technically a good boxer but hes well overhyped, and im a big fan of barrera but as previously stated his recent form hasnt been good so i wouldnt be surprised if khan won and then went on to proclaim that hes beaten the best fighter in the world, yada yada, yada.

Re: Amir Khan Vs Marco Antonio Barerra March 14th 09

Khan should win this. Barrera has pratically been retired since the last PAC fight as far as I can remember. Barrera is to small for this weightclass you will notice that straight away.

Khan will have the speed and power in this fight. And even tho is chin is shaky Barrera wont be able to trouble it at this part of his carrer. Which we will say is the end of his career. Barrera will be getting paid an lot to take this fight.

Barrera even of say 2 years ago would easily win thid fight. Now it will be an far bigger test. His expierence will only get him so far. Barrera will he dig deep anymore to win an fight.

His last 2 fights PAC and Marquez he was virtually on the backfoot throughout. Thats not the Barrera I remember.

Re: Amir Khan Vs Marco Antonio Barerra March 14th 09

Nas was an small man compared to Khan. Barrera and Naz belong in the same weight class.

Barrera and Khan don't

Re: Amir Khan Vs Marco Antonio Barerra March 14th 09

true say, wasnt naz faster then khan?, i think for barerra the counter attack will work, even if it goes the distance and khan loses, he can still stand and say "hey i went up against one of the p4p boxers in the world and lost only on points" i think juan diaz, casamoyar or j-manuel marquez will be good fights for khan if he prevails from this

Re: Amir Khan Vs Marco Antonio Barerra March 14th 09

I don't know what to make of this fight, I really don't. This is so out of character for Warren. Barrera is far from shot and so far above Fagan it's not even funny.

Bigger/faster or not, Khan was troubled by a small light hitting Willie Limond (no offence Willie) and a shot to pieces Gomez had him all over the shop. The technical wizard that is M.A. Barrera will give Khan fits.

Very risky move here, perhaps Warren IS cutting his loses here. If Khan loses he washes his hands of him, if Khan wins his stock rises immeasurably. It also sticks him at the top of the Warren Boxing Organisation rankings which currently has Barrera there.

Re: Amir Khan Vs Marco Antonio Barerra March 14th 09

Seems a very risky fight for Khan and one i think he will lose. Barerra has fought some good people in his time and out of 60 odd fights only lost 4 I think. Khan still has a way to go before he can start challenging for world titles and if he loses this fight he's going to drop even further down the tree. Lets not forget Khan has got a very weak chin.

Barrera may be knocking on a bit, but i still think he has the quality to knock amir out, i dont think khan stands a chance.

Re: Amir Khan Vs Marco Antonio Barerra March 14th 09

Without a doubt id say Barerra win, Khan has not got the chin to win, If khan could take a punch, He would be world champion, But he cannot take 1 on the chin without hitting the canvas.

Re: Amir Khan Vs Marco Antonio Barerra March 14th 09

Hi,

On paper, it's a kind of win -win situation for Khan really - if he loses, then then people will not look into it too much losing to someone like Barerra who will always been seen as a legend - the fact he was put in the same ring as Barerra implies he is of the same standard and is far better than he actually maybe. If he wins, he gets to be seen as the one who ended the career of one of the greatest boxers in history and will ride on that benefit to fast track himself to better things. That Frank Warren so very devious and mercenary, even the most poisonous of snakes would curl up in shame and embarrassment imo.

Suave!

Re: Amir Khan Vs Marco Antonio Barerra March 14th 09

This show down should be a treat for all boxing fans,i was a bit disappointed that Khan didn't have a rematch with Prescott and wipe the slate clean.The trouble with Amir Khan is his glass jaw.It doesn't matter how good you are coming forward but if someone lands one smack bang on your chin,then it could be lights out for the Bolton wonderer,or should i say more like Boy Wonder.

Re: Amir Khan Vs Marco Antonio Barerra March 14th 09

Barrera is 35 now and not the fighter he once was. He is a solid puncher and durable, most Mexicans are and is very experienced (72 fights losing only 6). He has been beaten by fast fighters before, Pacquiao and Jnr Jones spring to mind but I think he has too much all round ability to beat Khan.

Khan's chin isn't very good. Yes he is very fast but he gets tagged and has been wobbled and dropped by light punchers which doesn't bode well for a successful career.

Barrera by late stoppage.

This is the stuff legends are made of especially when we are talking about Barerra,with a true pro like him it's going to be very hard to shake him down and lets face it MEXICANS like to fight in a phone booth toe to toe.Rocky Balboa would of needed inspiring to take on this challenge.
