    What are you talking about?! MAB - Khan was made by Warren after he saw the state of him fighting in China, he knew it was a certainty

    Not a particularly interesting matchup but then its only a stay busy fight. I'd rather he fight an ageing midget like Casamayor than have only two fights a year like many champs seem to do theses days.:-(

    Agreed, at least something would come of that fight, like avenging your only defeat etc and im sure Khan would be ultra nervous before that one which can result in mistakes. It'd at least be some sort of challenge / mental barrier to get through.

    This is just pointless, a smaller, slower, inactive old man. Might aswell not bother showing it and just put a replay of Ortiz v Campbell on the tele.

    He wants to stay active. Is it better than not being active at all?

    He wants to fight 3 TIMES A YEAR, NOT 2.

    Ramadan end in the middle of September. Add just over 2 months on for camp and fight date it would end up to be November/December.

    So he wouldn't fight for ages. The guy is young and needs to experience so what the **** is everyone complaining about? Yeah Casa is not what he once was but the guy recently beat Katsidis and will come in good form for this fight.

    A man coming off of a loss should not be fighting for a world title...if it was a non-title fight then fair enough

    You would defend him if he was just found guilty of **** and murder so its pointless discussing it with you.

    Casa will come in "good form"? HAHAHAHAAH, jesus ****ing christ.

    Ah come on, the Casa fight is for the title, how does that make sense. Kotelnik is getting a shot at Alexander's titles. If we're pretending rules are followed in boxing, how does Khan get a shot at Kotelnik's title by beating ***an and Barrera at LW?

    It was quite an even fight. People were split. I picked Khan but there was alot up for discussion. MAB was small. Khan was chinny. MAB was at a new weight. Khan had been devastated in 1 round. MAB had experience. Khan had Roach.

    It was a good fight going in, a poor fight after.

    No I wouldn't. Go ask some of the people that I debate with. Most of them I agree with because they bring up good points.

    Meaning Casa will be up for this fight :patsch Next time I'll translate in English

    I think most would prefer to see Urango as we know he is young, strong, powerful, hungry and will keep coming. He can be outboxed but people want to see guys who can give Khan scary moments.

    I wouldn't sleep on Casa but as long as Khan continues to improve he'll do well. I wasn't very impressed with Khan early vs Paulie. It's only when he settled behind the jab and started picking his shots that I think he did well.

    You should do given you talked about him beating Katsidis "recently" and then said "good form" in the same sentence.

    The fact you have to use "Casa would be up for it" as a defence of it says it all really. I'd be "up for it" but i'd still be knocked out within 10 seconds.

    I already said that a Casa fight shouldn't be for the title....if Urango had been competitive against Alexander then fine (maybe) but he wasn't.

    Thinking about it, if the title is on the line shouldn't it be against his mando, whoever the **** that is?
