    His strength. Dude tossled and josteled with guys who have fought at MW, even though his biggest wins were at 140. Grapped with Porter and threw inside shots. His strength is uncanny. I think this will be a dirty hard fought night for Amir, no matter the outcome. A great test , and for me will put Khan up at 147lb with a target for everyone else.

    I'm just hoping devon watches peterson, get in the pocket and you'l beat khan. You'v gotta stop that constant holding but devon still has the skills to live with him on the outside. I just worry devon gets a little trigger shy when hes dealing with flurrys of punches and could be his undoing on saturday. Khan is way over-rated.

    I think Devon is going to be doing that thing where he hits Khan's gloves for a majority of the opening round and then clinch/hold on the inside.

    What's strange is that Devon has a decent chin though so it might work well for him to step into the medium distance and trade with Khan. Get Khan's respect early and often (but knowing he'll take some shots himself which I think he can handle).
