UK lightweight prospect Amir Khan gets a good test against crusty old warrior Marco Antonio Barrera tonight. Khan is a mixed bag to me,he won the silver medal at the Olympics in Athens and then knocked out a load of has-beens and made noises about beating everybody and being a legend. He was still only 21 and had fought nobody. He then fought a guy called Breidis Prescott who knocked Khan spark out in the 1st round. So now Khan has Freddie Roach in his corner and is re-building his career. He can punch and is a vicious finisher but he is chinny and the stamina is suspect.
Barrera is a stone cold legend,fought them all and done it all. However at 35,nearly 36,how much does he have left?
An intriguing match up this!
