    Good opponent, khan needs to stay away from power punches and rebuild his confidence and learn under his new trainer. I know people want to see him KO'd again, but I like Khan and want to see him get back to his best.

    Bollocks :happy

    Gomez put Khan on his arse, Khan finds a new trainer

    Prescott bangs out Amir, Khan finds a new trainer

    Garcia bangs out Amir, Khan finds a new trainer

    See the pattern emerging?

    Um, he was first with Oliver Harrison who had left before the Gomez fight, and Dean Powell was bought in as a temporary trainer, not as a permanent one, so he was going to find a new trainer after that regardless. Jorge Rubio set Amir the ******est of game plans for the Prescott fight and recommended him, apparently. And Khan didn't leave Roach straight after a loss, he left after two.

    No, no one see's your pattern emerging.

    Um, he left Roach after being knocked out. Just like he left Jorge after being knocked out. You're as delusional as Amir. Saj saw the light, so should you.

    Nothing fight for the fans... But a good fight for khan can use develop under his new trainer. It should show us whether he picks up any 'cute' moves or if he's the same old khan.

    We might mot see his defence tested as we would like, but even his offence and his general footwork and ring IQ might/should be revamped. This is the only reason this fight is mildly interesting.

    Not a great fight by any means, but I don't begrudge Khan a soft touch opponent who he can try some new things out on.

    Don't like Khan by any means, what with him being a ****-talking mongoloid, but I think he does come in for some unnecessary over-the-top flak sometimes.

    We all know Khan is not elite, so a 6 fight run of Malignaggi, Maidana, McCloskey, Judah, Peterson and Garcia, is quite respectable given his level. He's now lost his last two, has taken on a new trainer, and is taking on a Salita-esque opponent to look good against and hopefully try out some new moves on. Don't really see the ****ing problem tbh, especially if he goes on to fight a good name afterwards.

    This kinda thing happens all the time in boxing, and I'm sure we'll get the usual annoying bollox about "unbeaten fighter" and "never been stopped", but lets not pretend this is unique to Amir Khan. It may not be an ideal situation, but its a part of the game of boxing. If you don't like it, don't watch the the build-up or the fight.

    It has to be a undercard fight?. If so it's cool, Confidence booster of sorts and shed some rust etc. Won't learn anything from the fight. The training camp yes, but he needs to train outside of camp to continue development.

    This is fine. Not many boxers come back from their second KO defeat by going straight into a top level fight again. I don't quite understand the standards that people seem to hold Khan to, he's had this criticism since day 1. Khan's career is in the balance, another KO in his next few fights will spell disaster, so he need's to make do it right.

    The rumours were originally that he would fight a hard punching Argentinian, then the rumour became McCloskey. They were stupid fights, one was a pointless risk coming back from a KO, and the other was destined to make Khan look bad in victory while giving him little need to apply any newly learnt defensive skills. Without having seen Molina fight I can't comment with full conviction, but I believe this looks like a reasonable way to come back.

    Man I dislike Khan, always said Kell would KTFO him but some Brits here are ******ed. This is just a confidence builder, it will take at least 15 month before Khan fights for a title again.

    fights ok i suppose but ironic as he called brook, guzman not on his level yet picks a nobody in molina.

    just hope he doesnt go on about molina as some sort of beast.


    i cant see him ever learning;- ego way to big

    Don't mind him taking an easy fight, but his team and fans are gonna be unbearable trying to push this fight as if "Amir showing balls picking an undefeated prospect"

    Khan will win within 5
