    Has anybody else seen it ? I watched Orthodox Stance yesterday, i thought it was quite an interesting documentary. It gave us an idea of Salita's upbringing and the road he has taken to get his title shot.

    He seems a likeable chap and with him coming from Ukraine, where my family are from, i'll certainly be cheering him on against Amir Khan. Although Khan is a deserved heavy favourite in this fight, Salita is more skilled and has a better amateur pedigree than i realised, so id say he's definitely a live underdog.

    Anyhow, back to the documentary, if you havent seen it, id recommend it.

    I uploaded this documentary to youtube (type in boxing documentary to find it) when Salita was due to fight Willie Limond. I like Salita, he's the type of fighter you root for, but i think Khan KO's him early.:bbb

    Yep. I watch all the storyvilles no matter what the topic.
    Very good doc and insight into a fighter starting his career and all the frustrations that come with it.
    Seems a likeable guy as well.

    Very likeable guy, but not got the speed of Khan, and not much power, so dont see what he brings to the table to be honest apart from a built up record, he will lose badly, not cause Khan is amazing but cause he is fairly ordinary:?

    Yep. I don't disagree. That's what comes across in the documentary and why he ends up fighting locally to sell tickets rather than being moved on and up

    Guys, everyone is saying Salita is weak but he looked pretty strong against that mexican kid (part 9 of 9). Maybe he might be able to knock Khan down?

    Is it just me or did those hooks to the body (at leats in my novice eyes) look quite powerful?
