Amir Khan is just one step away from a world title fight after Martin Kristjansen was named as his next opponent in what will be a WBO eliminator.Full article at Sky Sports | Boxing | News | Kristjansen next for Khan
Is khan gonna get expossed now he is in with a decent fighter or is he as good as he says he is?
So its not romanov or Thaxton, shame. I think he wins this but will find it hard against Katsidis at this time. I think he should move up a weight class and challenge Rees. He will find lightweight too hard IMO at this stage of his career.
Rees has said he would welcome the chance to shut Khan up so that fight could be made easy.Plus it would be a easyer fight for Khan to win.
Shock horror who would have thought a Warren fighter getting an eliminator for the WBO JOKE TITLE.
:)
Kahn V Juan Diaz that would be an interesting fight, both guys throw a lot of punches could provide some fireworks if Frank Warren is brave enough to stick Kahn in there with him doubt it tho
How many fights does Khan have now? like 12 or so?
You're kidding, right? Juan 'Porkie Pie' Diaz, undoubtedly the best and most dominant lightweight in the world today? And by some distance. The only interest would lie in how many rounds Khan would survive. Now David Diaz might be a different matter. But even there, not yet.Quote:

I read in The London Paper today he wants Hatton(again) in a year or so.
Well the Dane is getting a small payday, he is decent and that is all. I put my piggybank on Khan. TKO or wide UD.
Nothing to fear there, unless you are danish and called Kristjansen.
I say khan beats kristjansen but would have a lot of trouble against j.diaz
what's Diaz punching power like ? Don't really know that much about him.
I fancy Khan to, at least, outpoint anyone anyone who doesn't pack decent KO power.
It's when he gets in with someone like that I think he will fall;)
Love the way they threw Romanovs name all over the shop - almost as a 2nd choice fight, should the American venture not happen then up pops the powderpuff Khan was originally gonna face - Martin Kristjansen
funny how this game works :rolleyes:
Yes Juan Diaz is a great fighter but he isnt a big puncher and Kahn looks quick big for a lightweight i think hes underated as a fighter but i really dont know how talented he is as hes been fighting very low quality fighters i would defiantly favour Diaz but i wouldnt rule KAhn out putting up a good fight.Quote:
