Good Morning Fight Fans!!!

Apologies its taken a while....you know how life goes. Anyways, last weekend Juan Marquez slapped Juan Diaz about and dropped him in the 9th to take the lightweight titles, and undoubtly become the king of the lightweight division. Diaz started like a man possessed and looked good, but the wiley old Maraquez punished him in the worst way.

Only one person predicted correctly and that was the ever-enigmatic Enigma. That has proppelled him to 2nd place, one point behind (and stilll....) league leader Minho. To be honest, Enigma is a biiiigtime predictor and we dont need to be giving him any kinda head start. With that said, when all's said and done, at the end of the day, the bottom line is that I'll be the champ. I sed it!

This Saturday is the big one. Amir Khan v Marco Antonio Barrera. This is large and in charge and needs no hype. Amir is the Olypmic silver madalist looking to go all the way to the top. His hands are as fast as Naseems (which is unheard of), and Freddie Roach has been getting him sparring ferociously with Manny Paq. Amir needs this big win after his humiliating 1st round KO to Sir John Prescott. Can he prove the doubters wrong?
Barerra is a soon to be hall-of-famer. A true mexican ring legend. 7 time world champ in 3 different weights! The only man to stop the great Prince Naz. He's only ever fought the best and has only been beaten by greats: Paq, Marquez and Morales. Has he got enough legend juice left in him to erase Khan?

Rudi Lorrai says this: I went against Barrerra in 2001, and he slapped Naseem. A man that does not learn from his mistakes is a fool. I'm no fool, and so I'm saying Barrerra turns back the clock sensationally in the 9th.
I like Amir, but it is what it is.
