Amir Khan V Scott Lawton

Lawton is not as good as Limond in my opinion, but it's yet another light domestic hitter.

The problem with most British boxers is that instead of having them fight proper international level "step up" opponents, they just circulate them with poor Brit level "step up" opponents.

If Khan were a truly serious guy, he'd at least be taking on a British level champion in Thaxton very soon, or a guy like Murray and Earl. Lawton is yet another light hitting British level journeyman who will pose little issue's and can't punch a lick.

 

Lawton's a decent fighter but I don't feel he's quite as good as Limond and probably not quite as quick either .

He may still cause Khan problems but Khan should win this inside the distance .

I'll have to give Khan a pass for fighting Lawton if he fights again in December , Lawton isn't exactly total garbage and Khan was nearly stopped in his last fight so it's resonable to take a small step back before taking a big step forward(that's provided it's Earl or Thaxton in December)

 

where has this been announced?

scott lawton is not really a top domestic fighter but he'll still be the second best opponent khan has ever faced. khan will have to blow him away much quicker than thaxton did if he wants to make any kind of statement...

although according to boxrec lawton is fighting dean hickman for the english title at the end of september

 

20 wins!!


















































































4 KO's

 

20 wins and 4 KO's, sounds dangerous! It is funny, it is so obvious that Warren is avoiding any fighter with even the slightest amount of punching power.

 

A 20% knockout percentage? Well, Limond had a lower percentage, and he nearly had Khan KO'd. Lawton has a puncher's chance!

 

Well, if boxrec is anything to go by, Lawton's hopeless. He's got a draw with a 1-8-0 boxer, a loss to a 15-19-0 boxer, and his two best opponents stopped him.

I suspect Khan will get a gift stoppage before the sixth, and the commentators will rave as if he just beat Thaxton.

"He beat someone Thaxton beat, but faster! That makes him better than Thaxton!"

PATHETIC.

 

Limond actually had a 28% knockout percentage..............and didn't it show

 

28%... He's still a big way off being anything close to a puncher. 28% is still akin to someone like Sven Ottke.

The problem is, Limond showed that ANYONE with the skill to land clean has a shot against Khan. If Lawton lands his best bombs and follows up... :scaredas:

 

hope we see khan's chin get tested again

 

Lawton is a domestic player so it is a respectable fight.

An easy fight (put in context) isn't the end of the world. He has to then fight Thaxton in January.

Ultimately this fight does nothing for his progress. That is what it is designed to do. Delay Warren having to unleash him on the world stage any time soon.

 

no really excited by this fight at all i dont think warren thinks he is ready for the step up so i expected this type of fight anyway. I think if he won convincingly then he would be fighting someone better.

 

When he is fighting Earl??

That should be a good test.

 

Lawton's announced as fighting Dean Hickman In September first?
