Campbell takes Amir to school before gaining a late stoppage. Until Amir fights someone actually capable of fighting on the inside, and throwing a punch, I remain unconvinced.
I wipe my ass with the Daily Star If its true Khan has approximately 6 months to learn how to inside fight, or at least prepare himself to to deal with that sort of fighter
i dunno, I dont think khan needs this "inside game" like people think for campbell. I think he could keep campbell at distance. Khans got enough skills to get past campbell. Unless campbell could knock him out i can't see him gettin past khans speed. And i think khans jaws not as bad as people think. Khan by UD 12rnds khan does need to work on his defence though. Campbell could win, but i definitely think khans got the tools
Erm, I guarantee he needs some sort of inside game - he at least needs to compete in clinches and learn some short arm punches. I'm not suggesting he tries to fight Campbell at his own game, he's obviously got to fight to his strengths, but its reality that a smart fighter like Campbell will get past his jab frequently. At the moment, he'll get old manned big time, because he's never had to deal with that sort of fighter
Frank Warren is pushing for it to be at Arsenal FC's ground , the Emirates Staduim which is 50.000 plus i think. Nate Campbell comment ' Worried about Amir Kahn ? , im only worried about how much there gonna pay me! ' IMO it will be a tough fight , Amir has a good chance in the UK.
You do wonder....... I think Warren seems lost at the moment to be honest. He was already miffed with ITV for buying the Froch & Witter show from Hennessy Sports, and now Setanta have signed with David Haye (whom Warren has been desperate to get for some time) he seems to be backed into a corner. People have become sick of the tiresome Khan bandwagon, of beating up chumps to climb the rankings, and all of this about wanting to become Britain's youngest world champion ever - forgetting the fact that 135 is a bloody strong division, there is no Steve Robinson to beat to win a title as Naz did. Perhaps the most annoying thing is all this bleating on about being above domestic and european level - he hasn't even fought contenders at either level, never mind the champs (Romanov & Thaxton), which is an absolute joke! To make matters worse, his next opponent is a guy who was recently chinned challenging for the British 130lb title by Carl Johanneson, who was then KTFO in his next bout by Kevin Mitchell - whom Khan is adamant he would beat!
yh!! but i think he'd adapt eventually, its coz of the lack in competion hes faced. He looks inexperienced but i think hes just lost his way through fighting "bums".... hes been half asleep with his previous fights. Joe calzaghe says it all the time, he can only perform when he fears his oppopnent..
Khan might even be a better inside fighter than I give him credit. The point is we don't know - because he fought a bunch of cans where he had it his own way
So Khans next fight is 6 months from now! He has never fought anyone near top 10 of the LW division. I hope Warren gets him in with decent world class opponent before going for a top guy like Campbell.
is this for real? micheal gomez is not a good step up to prepare for someone like campbell... how about nate? wasn't he wanting to fight sometime in July or august to keep his activity
