Khan-Barrera a go for March 14

by Scott Christ on Feb 3, 2009 2:49 PM EST in Boxing News Analysis

Despite the cut suffered in his win over Freudis Rojas on January 31 in Guadalajara, Marco Antonio Barrera is going ahead with plans for his fight against Amir Khan in Manchester on March 14.

Khan (19-1, 15 KO) will have home field advantage and 13 years on his side when he faces Barrera (65-6, 43 KO).

I'll still note that I love this fight, but that photo of Khan punching through the Barrera poster is going to look pretty bad if/when Barrera busts him up.

I don’t know what Warren is thinking with this fight… The potential is there for Khan to has his ass handed to him by a world class fighter.

I don't know what you guy are talking about

Amir specified after his last fight that he feels sorry for his opponents because they will face the worse challenge of their life. And I believe he Khan be.

Jesus, I could not write that and keep a straight face.
