    :lol::good

    I agree i don't see him being as bad as Salita although i do feel if Khan set about him early he may be overwhelmed but i see Khan just looking to settle down and stick to orders and Molina to just step out of range and try like Garcia to suffocate Khan's early rampaging success as much as he can because Khan is extremely dangerous early.

    It's a decent enough fight, I think Hunter will be content with a late stoppage or points win i think he'll stray away from Roach's claims of KO's which didn't help Khan's mindset really.

    Molina will come in ready to give the fight of his life, he knows a win over Amir Khan will definitely put him right up there, plus he's unbeaten and the old cliche about an unbeaten fighter is you don't know how good they are until they are staring defeat in the face.

    He's a hungry kid and he seems like a well schooled operator, I don't think Khan is nowhere near as good as he or some of his fans believe he is so I think this guy will be there for the long haul, that said I see Khan winning a competitive UD.

    I will laugh my ass off if Amir fights the usual manner he does on the 15th, it will all come crushing down. Let's see how the chemistry spills blossoms between Amir and Hunter.

    Like BlackBrenny has said, he has some nice sharp, snappy punches that will be useful on the inside. Not that bad of an opponent considering his style, actually. Seeing as though Khan just got raped in his last fight. That said, it's no excuse for him to not win. He has to look good, else the vultures will be at him.

    That one's pretty impressive.

    This is deffo no a joke fight, this guy reminds me a bit of JMM, he is a sharp little fighter and Khan has to be on the ball.

    That said I really want to see improvments in Khan's approach and temperament, to prolong his career he must adopt a more defensive approach, and also his aims in fights and how to win them. I think from the ouset he must focus on winning the fight via points and stop tying to look for KO, if they come they come but dont force them which is the key. When forcing them he become reckless something Khan can not look to do, i believe if Khan goes about his boxing in a controlled and defensive manner he will be very hard to outpoint round by round, which in time would force his opponent to force the fight and become reckless and more open themself which in turn gives Khan the openings he tries to force early on.

    So Khan needs to be more controlled, slow down his workrate, become more accurate with his shots less wasteful which in return saves his energy in the fight too.

    I think one of the main problem Khan has is he always seems in a rush, Hunter needs to slow him down so he has more time to think about what he has to do next.

    Not too bad but if Khan loses against him you really have to question where he's going.
