    I have Amir by mid late ko. Rnd7 would be about right. Warren will have done his homework on St-Clair.

    I don't think he'll lose. Gairy is a good test but I don't think he's that dangerous. Khan can win both by stoppage and by points against him.

    No he'll win, Khan over 12 rounds as he needs to get some under his belt

    Only if Khan is careless. Trying to swarm St Clair early on could be very foolish.

    So long as he fights smart I see a points decision for Khan, although a late stoppage is not out of the question.

    That's what a lot of people thought about Limond...

    I think this fight will be interesting. I'm leaning in the direction of a Khan win, but it's by no means a given.

    Clair has been in with some big hitters (coralles, etc) and it will be impressive if khan can drop him!

    Clair is far better than Graham Earl and Willie Limmond. He has sparred Tszyu and zab judah so he know what the expect from Khan speed.

    Khan will probably not lose to this guy - like the rest of his opponents, I am sure he has been carefully selected so that Khan's GLASS JAW will not be exposed, THIS time.

    Khan will win via TKO7. His hands are too fast, he hits too hard and is too big.

    I'd take my time with St Clair and make the victory more solid by setting a fast pace and out working him... If the Knockout comes it comes.. No risks at this point of his career.. This opponent is a little bit more classy than the last few.. No slip ups.. A focussed Khan will come through victorious..

    yes,st clair wasnt champ very long and his record and credentials are embellished.
    Not as formidable as they would have you believe.

    I think that a Khan TKO in 6 or 7 seems about right. Perfect opponent for Amir, lighter man with a decent resumé, not much of a puncher but seems to have a good chin and a big heart. Will give him some competitive rounds while Amir should still get the win.
