Khan-Barrera: Amir Starts Training Camp with Roach

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

It's been reported that UK lightweight star Amir Khan flew to Los Angeles, California over the weekend to begin training for his March 14 bout with the legend himself, Marco Antonio Barrera. The fight takes place at the MEN Arena in Manchester. [details]

I think khan has got him at the perfect time. Ill be at the MEN for this so hopefully khan can produce the goods and hopefully Barrera isn't shot.

We've seen bigger upsets this year. Never say never. Khan could beat him with speed if he doesn't get buzzed.

wait...... you think Khan winning would be an upset???

[ListenUpWell]

I'd call it an upset if Khan wins, yeah - I've watched him get knocked down by the likes of Willie Limond lol I know Barrera's old, but he's gotta have enough power 2 buzz Amir if other domestic-class jumped-up featherweights can do it. Still, I'm not ruling him out, just saying it would be an upset of sorts.

weird

i find it weird that undeserving fighters tend to get the big fights... just weeks after the weight fiasco of joan guzman, he found himself in an eliminator for the wba title... then tarver getting a second straight shot at dawson instead of glen johnson... now this... the brit got wasted by prescott late last year! now he is facing barrera? how about prescott? oh man...

frankly i think Barrera is just glorified cannon fodder in this fight

i sincerely hope i'm wrong though

I wouldn't say Khan is undeserving. Khan has a big following, and this is the type of fight he needs to make or break him. Barrera will get a decent pay check, and is the slight favourite to win in my eyes.

Well the way people are taking is Khan is gonna get trashed.
Khan was knocked down something like 4 times in 36 months by not big hitters. He got KO'd in 56 secs by Prescott. Khan has possibly got the worst chin in boxing right now.
