    Before the PED talk...Roach said many times how he liked and respected paulie...I'm sure he is still mad about the PED talk....but you still get the sense he still respects paulie...

    I saw the presser interview with roach...and he said he expects the fight to go the distance...

    Sorry but its an Easy win for Khan IMO. I am not making a prediction like a KO or anything as it could well go to points with PM`s chin, i am just certain Khan will win. Once again Roach has picked the perfect opponent that he knows his man can take.

    Roach would not take the fight in Pm`s backyard if he thought the fight was going to be remotely close on points.

    Malignaggi is a hardly the perfect opponent. He's decently skilled, quick with his hands and feet, durable, and in his relative prime. Khan is going to have to do more than just jump in and out as fast as he can piston punching if he wants to win. He'll have to actually pick his spots and demonstrate genuine skill.

    :good

    Yep. I really don't see why people put so much faith into a guys power! Paulie might not have power but he certainly has every other asset needed to make a great boxer. And Khan has never had to deal with that before.

    Spot on.

    Paulie's got every potential to make his opponent look bad on the night. Khan will need to be at his very best (and more!) if he wants to make an impression on the US public.

    If he does manage to surpass Paulie, I'm not quite sure who they'll put him in with in his next 2 fights, but I'm pretty certain they'll aim to be comfortable fights. Which I personally can accept.

    But once these are out of the way, he MUST step in with Maidana, or other genuine threatening opponents. If he fails to do this, he doesn't deserve to be holding a belt, and he and his team will fully deserve the criticism they recieve

    I don't understand this at all. What day did roach say this?

    Check that out, It says They're gonna run right through him.

    I have a feeling they're gonna go for the early knockout. I think Roach is just saying the other method so people seem shocked
