Khan vs Salita.

Khan is gonna win by a fairly dull UD imo.

Salita's record makes him look better than he is, and I think he's a little out of his depth here.

Still wouldn't rule him out though.

 

Dont worry after Khan finishes with Salita, then he will be going over to the U.S and clean up the 140 division next year, then these guys will stand up and take note.

 

lol if Khan fights Bradley he will die

 

I really like Bradley but dunno if his style is actually the Kahn Krytonite you suggest I would worry more about a guy like Holt than Bradley.

Bradley is the better fighter but he is so mucxh shorter ( and shorter armed ) than Khan I think Amir could just about contain him.

Holts occasional wild punches and decent power could actually be a bigger threat

But he'll be out there next year looking to find out :good

P.S. Salita will get walked over !

 

I dont think there's too much talk about it because Salita is not seen as a threat

 

is this post a joke?

he does not have "extreme power" by any stretch of the imagination

and he doesn't have very long to tighten up his defence if he's planning on cleaning out the 140lb division in the forseeable future

 

Salita vs Campos from the Calzaghe vs RJJ undercard is on youtube now. I watched it and looked at Salita's record and just can't see past Khan for this one.

The Sun said after the Kotelnik fight that he would vacate his title, duck Salita and take on Morales, implying that Salita would be too good for Khan. But in the Campos fight he looks limited, pretty slow and boring as hell! And Campos himself doesn't exactly boast an impressive record.

I think it will be a UD for Khan, but one of the few articles on ESB did suggest that Khan would wear him down and get a late knock out, which is also a possibility imo.

There's too many haters of Khan in the UK, seriously even casual boxing fans who barely watch absolutely hate him. It makes no sense as he's one of the quickest, and now with Roach, one of the most exciting boxers in Britain right now.

 

i was about to say the same thing. I am british through and through, but i think Khan's time is limited. He won't clean out the 140lbs division. In fact i'd put big money on him fighting another puncher, and getting sparked again. He's just a busy fighter. He will get exposed before long. Mark my words. The annoying thing is, he will beat Salita and go on again like he's king of the world. He;s really starting to annoy me mentioning his name in the same sentences as Pacquiao, Mayweather, JMM etc. The boy is completely deluded.

 

Seems like a routine defence for Khan, which is why I imagine there hasn't been a lot of hype on ESB.

I expect Khan to win by mid-rounds stoppage.

 

I just dont like the way the british media hype him.

I have lots of freinds who only watch boxing when Khan/Hatton/Clazaghe/Froch fight, and they belive all the hot air that Jim Watt and the Gremlin spew during the fight.
Khan will win easily tommorow, and if he does I want him to make a move for unification.

I would love to see him fight Urango

 

Salita's got nothing and is probably as chinny as Khan (watched his robbery of Montano in the Toney-Rahman undercard). So no worry on Khan winning this. The jr. welters need to be promoted more though so names like Holt and Bradley can get the exposure equal to Khan. If 140 is his division, then Amir will benefit with big names on there.

 

Salita it c-level at best that's why!!! I think Khan stops him in 6. Mitchell Vs Prescott seems like a more exciting fight IMO.

To the guy who said Bradley destroys Khan...I'm not sure. I don't particularly like Khan but at this moment I think you HAVE to KO him to beat him, he seems to be very complete barring his horrendous glass chin.

As someone else said, for this reason Torres, Holt and Ortiz are worse match-ups for me!!

 

Definitely! Probably looking forward to this one more than Khan or any of the other awesome fights that are going on this weekend. I live pretty close to Dagenham. We'll get to see what Mitchell is about now. His biggest test yet without a doubt.
