My God:rofl http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=51096&cat=boxer How ****ing padded is it? Does he even have a punchers chance? The guy he fought last, Raul Munoz, was knocked out in 3 by Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, but Salita went the full 10 rounds with him. Is everyone else just watching this for the Prescott-Mitchell fight?
I've heard of Grover Wiley and obviously Rocky Martinez, but thats about it...Salita made sure that he took them on right at the end of their careers
Also, if Salita's only chance is via KO (as many seem to think) then his recent results don't look good: - 4 of his last 5 fights have gone the distance. - 6 of his last 8 fights have gone the distance. And that's in very poor company.
His fight on the Calzaghe-RJJ undercard was put up a few days ago on Youtube. Watch a few rounds and it will tell you all you need to know about Salita [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwwsdPABA84[/ame]
So is the general consensus that Khan should have done a Vitali and appealed to the WBA for the right to veto?
To be fair i'm not sure that Grover ever really had a prime. His only real claim to fame was that he was Julio Cesar Chavezs last opponent, and beat him on the stool (Chavez had an arm injury I think)
What the fook is that guy gonna do that Kotelnik didn't. Khan's gonna put a jab on his ass and then he'll have ****. He can box like that against a bum but when Khan's speed takes it away from him he'll have to come forward and show some imagination.
A lot of people said same thing about Prescott's record..only one name of note on that in Richard Abril. Salita's record is poor no getting away from it. His recent fights i have noticed a unmotivated fighter gets caught silly shots. Manny Steward said he noticed he doesn't even tighten up his hands at the end of a punch. Hope the lad puts up a good fight...he has decent ability but his old trainer has it right he fight's black...and that's it...he fights with a black style...doesn't really suit him tbh.
