Anyone give Limond a chance in this?

Willie Limond can be quite crafty and awkward and will be harder to hit than any of Khan's previous opponents. Should be a good test for Khan at this stage in his career.

I expect Khan to go all out and blitz him in style,Don't think he'll get the KO over him but do think the ref will stop the bout prematurely

Yeh i see that happening aswell

Did Limond call him out or are we ignoring them now and going for what could be argued as the weaker option and paper title? Just wondering?

Alex Arthur failed to drop Limond and he hits much harder

I'm not questioning his chin just his punch power, if you can't deter someone with your punches they will walk through you or you better develop some good boxing to counter your lack of power.

That's what i see Oscar doing to Floyd Simply going through him.
Agree that a LOT of Amirs fights have been stopped when they shouldn't have been,he just has to throw 10-15 super fast punches and it's waved off.
Most of them don't even land flush either

Jeees, does he have the same promoter as Calzaghe?




Oh yeah




He does
