Khans new opponent is Gairy St Clair...

I can confirm that this news story is running on the BBC website

 

Who the **** is he.

 

Not Thaxton...........but not awful. At least he has been training for 12 rounds.

 

Better opponent than the Danish boy, but still, not even one defence f his 'world' crown hardly counts as an ex world champ Warren.

 

He looks durable... Has a couple of good wins... I've seen worse matches but doesn't really get your adrenaline pumping in anticipation does it?

 

Used to hold one of the Superfeather belts , but was being talked about as an "easy" target for Alex Arthur

 

i've seen his fights with corrales and harris and neither of them could shift him. but khan will ****ing dwarf him, we're talking about a guy who often looks small at super feather against a guy who could in theory fight as high as 147 one day .clever matchmaking as st clair looks handy on paper but the simple physical gulf between these two means that khan should have a less than difficults night work.

st.clair's never been stopped, that may change.

 

Never seen this guy, but he seems to have a pretty decent pop with 17 KOs, he also fought for IBF title eliminator in his second to last fight. And hes never been knocked out.

For a such a short notice, he seems good enough to me much better than the Dane.

 

No, but it's a step up from the Dane not a step down which is what I expected. Decent opponent on paper - call me a cynic but I suspect Dean Powell knows something we don't. :smooch

 

17 KOs is not bad but was at Super Feather, but he has never been stopped in his 4 losses so must have a decent chin. Took Vivian Harris 10 rounds and Corrales 12 and so he is solid.

Be good to see Amir go 12 and will show alot for his power if he KOs this guy.

 

this dude is a super feather n hes 5ft 4.
im suprised ppl believe this will last 12.
this wont last 5

 

Super featherweight, lost two of last three bouts .....

Are they fighting for any title as on FWTV it says Khan is making his third defence of the Commonwealth but as Thaxton is the mandatory for that and Khan has already had his quota of voluntary defences I'm not sure that can be right - also there was talk of him being stripped for pulling out of the Thaxton fight.

 

To be fair its pretty safe to say Corrales dwarfed him too and he went the distance... Might get a chance to have a good look at Khan at international level over a few rounds.
