This after beating the former super featherweight champion Barrera by a 5th round technical decision on March 14th, a fight in which Barrera was cut badly [...]

Khan was faster and better than Barrera, showing that he could beat [...]

By James Hughes: Amir Khan put in a composed performance to defeat ring-legend Marco Antonio Barrera by a 5th round technical decision in the main event at the M.E.N. Arena (Manchester, England).

By Chris Williams: In looking over lightweight Amir Khan’s March 14th fight against veteran former champion Marco Antonio Barrera, I see the decked pretty much stacked against the 35-year-old Barrera, putting him in an almost no win situations. Certainly, Barrera has the advantage in experience over the young 22-year-old Khan, and a better chin than [...]

By Alistair Tinsley: Many boxing fans will want to know what the hell Frank Warren is doing putting his baby-faced charge against such a formidable opponent as Marco Antonio Barerra?
