Prescott, Kastidas and Thaxton would al beat Khan within distance
lucky khan. it proved nothing. fight presscott again or even funnier fight marquez for the title shot uv been asking for since turning pro!
Bernard shut up you mug!!!!!!
I don’t really like Khan,but it was pretty obvious from the start that Barrera couldn’t handle Khan’s speed and size advantage.
I’m pretty sure Barrera came to fight,but Khan just didn’t let him get anything going…
Having witnessed the khan barera fight last night i can only say WHAT A LET DOWN barrera did not turn upso it proves nothing to me how good khan realy is ,yes he is a very amiable young figherbut after wilie limmond and gomez floored him and then breddis prescot realy doing the business it leaves very big gaps at least in my eyes.Last night it only semed that khan was in the ring barera hardly being mentioned or even coming out of the starting blocks. Yes i will accept he is now 35 but his pedigree is beyond reproach and no matter how old he becomes will always give his all. Last might it seemed more like Mr Pastry than Marco Barrera in the ring. Take a look at the tribute fight on you tube called *Barrera Vs Morralas 111* and you will see what i mean when i state barrera looked more like Mr Pastry . It all seemed to suggest it was staged to bring khan and i would have been far more certain of khanns capabilities if he had beaten brediss prescot in a return fight.This win proves absolutely nothing in my opionion except it may get frank waren and khans camp a title shot hopefully against pacman so we can see what is what for once.
no1 in the uk will, no1 likes kahn hardly here
CMON MAB!!!
freddie did a good work on amir. fighting the pacmonster has given khan confidence. just look at his last fight. but with barrera its a different story we are talking about a world class warrior who has been there and done that. I foresee kahn winning on points but it will be a bloody fight for him that is for sure.
