Warren very rarely takes risks with his fighters and i doubt he is this time either. I think he knows that barrera is a shot fighter and that Kahn should have no problems i beating him. He knows that if kahn beats Barrera everyone will think kahn is brilliant and also barrera is a big name, which means the fight will sell.

You going to be brave enough to put some money on that though?

I'm not

i'm going to dump about a ton on Barrera and with a bit of luck it will pay for my ticket and a couple pints :P

it's not that I want Khan (check the spelling by the way mate ) to get beat....just economics. I wouldn't say that I am super confident in my prediction though.

Have you only been following boxing since 7 September '08 (Prescott KO1 Khan, 6 September '08).

Shot (debatable ,quite possibly just on the slide) elite world class v talented domestic class prospect sounds fairly risky to me.

FW does have a habit of catching people at the right time, Earl for example looked shot by the time Khan got to him after a fine performance v Katsidis.
FW must sincerely believe Khan can beat MAB unless he has another agenda

You Kahn Kahn in a Nissan.

Not everyone, seems like alot of forum members are thinking the opposite of this.
