Mallignaggi vs Khan : official soon

If there ever is a poll for this fight, the choices only should be Khan by KO or Decision.

This is a foregone conclusion. Anyone want a lifetime bet?

 

On what do Amir Khan fans base this idea that he will destroy Mallignaggi?, has he had some secret fights that only you have seen?

 

I'm not too crazy about this fight it has boring written all over it. On one hand Malignaggi is a good fighter and a clear top 10 jr welterweight, possibly top 5, so Khan is getting a good test. On the other hand, Khan is side stepping Madaina, who can punch, and facing Malignaggi who can't. It looks like he is being protected from punchers.

I prefered the JMM fight over this one because it would have had to be a more entertaining fight. I'm not sure who I want to win. I like Malignaggi but Khan has quasi-star potential that Malignaggi doesn't. Boring fight, close fight, with Khan getting a decision but a controversial decision or a Malignaggi win are very possible here.

 

its a good test for khan to be fightin someone as quick an skilled as him

 

I don't think either boxer has the power to knock the other one out, it will be interesting to see what type of tactics Roach sends Khan in with for this one as he's not going to be able to fight at a distance like he did against Kotelnik.

 

khan certainly has power

but does magic man need a vicous punch to ko khan?

 

The power to stop Malignaggi?

 

i think he does, khan has awesome power in those fists.

i think this is a better match up at 140 than khan-jmm at the same weight.

this will be the equivalent of the nas-kelly bout at madison square gardens over a decade ago.... that awe inspiring ruck was also the debut in the states, for an exciting young british muslim.

 

loving this match up

 

Its a good match up but I think khan may have the edge due to his power.

 

agreed, paulie will give him a good ruck, but khan will prevail.

 

true, the entrance for that kevin kelly fight was hillarious

the man was superb for boxing... and to be fair he backed up the bravado with some brillant boxing skills

the contempt with which he took out steve robinson was ****ing top notch.

 

how many right hands will Khan land over Paulie's jab?

I say at least 15.
