British RBR - Amir Khan v Graham Earl - Saturday - Duddy v Eastman
OK folks, this is the appetiser before the massive Hatton Mayweather fight next Saturday, and it carries a lot of interest for any boxing fan who can't have escaped the massive hype which has surrounded Amir Khan ever since he claimed his Olympic Silver Medal back in 2004.
Here's the tale of the tape as I see it:
Amir Khan (14-0, 11KOs) is undoubtedly one of the best British boxing prospects of recent years, whether you buy into the hype or not. The 20-year old from Bolton has been surrounded in a media scrum ever since he claimed the olympic medal at the tender age of 17. Despite his undefeated record and big talk, critics would point to some cracks which have appeared in the past year or so, both inside and outside of the ring. Convictions for speeding and a trial for dangerous driving must have been distracting, and a knockdown which nearly finished him against Willie Limond opened him up to those who have doubted Khan's chin. However, his supporters would say that he showed he could come back from the brink, and that his charity work in the Bolton area have shown that he's developing into a man. However, Saturday's bout will be 364 days after the last time Khan went the full distance, standing 5 inches taller than his opponent he will hope his height and developing power will help him to do to Earl what Katsidis did before.
Graham Earl (25-2, 12 KOs) is the more travelled veteran in this fight, nine years older and 13 fights wiser than Khan, and will be hoping to bring all he knows to bear, and to beat the popular man from Bolton. Earl himself is a firm fan favourite, and will no doubt be bringing a cadre of his own supporters up to Bolton from his hometown of Luton. Earl's last appearance will be very difficult to match, with his meeting with Katsidis touted among the British fights of the year, with Earl down three times and Katsidis counted once. The all action punching of both fighters made a mini-classic over 5 rounds, and a fight 50% of that intensity will make for exceptional viewing. Katsidis is certainly stronger and more aggressive than Khan will be, and Earl will also have to contend with the height and reach advantage that Khan brings to the table.
My personal prediction....it's hard to say, but I'll go for Khan on points, although he might get clipped and find himself in trouble once or twice as Earl finds the key to his guard. Either way, I'm certain this one will be a cracker.
Elsewhere on the bill we have Dean Francis defending his Commonwealth Light Haevyweight title, Michael Jennings defending his WBU welterweight belt (although there are rumours Jennings is injured), and prospects Jamie Cox and Tony Bellew will be in action, as well as Kell Brook, and Paul Smith returning to action after his appearance in the "Contender" series, still undefeated but nor is he contender champion either.
The action will begin at 7.40pm (2.40pm EST) on ITV4 in the UK, and switch to ITV1 for the Khan fight at 9.55pm (4.55pm EST).
So let's see who y'all think will win, and whether Khan's progression will continue or whether he'll get blasted by Earl's power and experience.

Re: British RBR - Amir Khan v Graham Earl - Saturday - C'wealth Lightweight titl
:coolclick: Rhun good analysis.
I really like Amir I think he's the most exciting fighter to watch in Britain right now, he's quick, loves to come forward, can devastate opponents with fast combo's and seems to really relish a good a tear up. His chin seems vulnurable but imo that only adds to the drama of watching him fight.
I honestly think if he was not well known, and didn't have the hype around him that he does, people on here would laud him and say what a great prospect he is and how he's the best talent in Britain.
But as the old saying goes 'familiarity breeds contempt' and people love to bash him instead.
This should be a cracking fight and if Amir does get the win he deserves the respect of people on here as he will have beaten a legitimate opponent, and arguably the best lightweight in the country.
I'm going for a late round Khan KO, say rounds 9 or 10. I think he'll be too quick and will hurt Earl with some stinging combo's.
I'd also put money on it being a more entertaining fight than Hatton Mayweather as well.

Re: British RBR - Amir Khan v Graham Earl - Saturday - C'wealth Lightweight title
CC Rhun can't wait, Earl by KO.

Re: British RBR - Amir Khan v Graham Earl - Saturday - C'wealth Lightweight title
In the poll i voted Kahn on points, not because theats exactly what i see happening, but becasue that it how i would like Kahn to approach this fight.
We have seen in the past that Graham can mix it up and is indeed a durable enough bloke. Kahn has shown in the past he has a lust for Knockout victories yet when he chases them he gets caught. (He the reverts to picking opponents apart to his credit)
So I feel, whatever outcome Kahn is in search of, he must start at a calculated pace, realise that his opponent is potentially stronger and stay sfe. He must aim to win rounds with his punches, not throw punches to win the fight. (A performNCE LIKE THAT AGAINST sTEFFY bULL WOULD BE ADMIRABLE)
i BELIEVE THAT HE NEEDS TO MAINTAIN THIS CALCULATED PACE IN ORDER TO WIN THE FIGHT. iT MAY COME AS A KO AS A RESULT OF PATIERNCE AND BOXING BRILLIANCE BUT kAHN HAD BETTER NOT COUNT ON IT COMING TOO EARLY.

Re: British RBR - Amir Khan v Graham Earl - Saturday - C'wealth Lightweight title
i think kadsidis may of done to earl what hagler did to mugabi and chavez to taylor in that earl will never be the same fighter, alike what trinidad did to vargas, his punch resistance was never the same after. I still think however that earls comtempt of kahns cockyness will make this a good fight and kahn could get floored, im still going for a kahn ko latw however
prediction: Kahn KO - 8
-
Re: British RBR - Amir Khan v Graham Earl - Saturday - C'wealth Lightweight titl
Looking forward to this one although I've only seen 1 Earl fight,the Katsidis one. Is he a natural counter puncher? If so,we could see Khan go down but I don't see him losing. I actually agree with you Bilbo,I've been critical of Khan before but he's not a bad fighter at all.I just think he leaves his chin out to dry at times and would love to see him v a puncher.

Re: British RBR - Amir Khan v Graham Earl - Saturday - C'wealth Lightweight title
CC Rhun, i think it willl be a close fight and Khan has a lot to prove with this one. Im glad he is fighting a tough fighter and it will make it better for him when he beats him because I believe Khan has the potential to do this. Im picking a Khan 12 UD but I feel this will be Khans hardest fight up to now and will have to be on form to do this. He will win this fight im pretty sure on this...
BTW Rhun, Jennings is actually injured i spoke to him the other day!

Re: British RBR - Amir Khan v Graham Earl - Saturday - C'wealth Lightweight title
Ive gone for Earl to destroy the Kahn dream im a Kahn fan and i think he will win but i keep thinking about the Limond knockdown and Earl hits alot harder than Limond i keep picturing Kahn on the floor like Audley vs Sprott OUCH!!! hope im wrong because i really like Kahn.

Re: British RBR - Amir Khan v Graham Earl - Saturday - C'wealth Lightweight titl
I hope Earl knocks Khan's block off i never have liked Khan.

Hes a lot bigger than Earl and i think the punch rate will be a bit too much for him. Im thinking a stoppage might be on the cards to be honest, will be close but I know Khan wont lose this one.
BTW change your name, its not going to happen at all, Hattons going to win!

Only way Hatton has a chance of winning is if Hatton teams up with Graham in a 2 on 1 handicap match against Mayweather and even then i would still have Mayweather as the favorite.

His style is facinating. But even so, Ricky is our champion and you should be following him even if you do prefer his style. And for that comment about 2 on 1 against Floyd, thats just plain shit, a bit disrespectful comment there ice?

Why ?? boxing isn't about USA vs UK or etc, i enjoy Mayweather's boxing style more so i root for him i don't like Hatton's style so why should i root for him ?? just because he is English ?? see thats where most people go wrong in boxing you should just support who you enjoy watching the most in the ring it shouldn't matter where they come from.
And for that comment about 2 on 1 against Floyd, thats just plain S***, a bit disrespectful comment there ice?
I was joking Tam come on.

I still feel its our man vs their man though. Rickys style i feel is more intresting in terms of coming forward, more enjoyable to watch, then the couter fighting stlye of FM. But at the end of the day its what you like. But still this is going to be by far his hardest fight, did you see ODLH more up for the fight than Ricky has been? i dont think so, this fight has been meaning to happen for years and its fianlly here. He is my 2nd favourite fighter and I fully believe this is his chance to prove it to us that he is one of the greats from Britain. Floyd has underestimated him and he will pay for it.
okay fair enough if it was a joke but all i have to say is ice, its going to be a lot closer than you might be thinking.

As for Khan, I say the referee stops Earl from taking a further beating around 8. Thaxton is the real British challenge. Can't see Warren putting Khan in their with Jonny until he's been badly beaten.

Totally. I want Kahn to win and fulfill some of the hype around him because British boxing simply cannot have too many world class fighters, but that knockdown against Limond really doesn't bode well for the future of Kahn's chin.
In an ideal world for Kahn, I think if he wins a tough 8 or 9th round KO, having had his chin properly tested by Earl and coming through, that would prove a few doubters wrong. Not all of them, maybe not even half, but at least a few.

Come on lad, although Early has challenged for a world title, Thaxton is the man with the momentum at the moment since claiming that British title, and Earl is a bit of an unknown quantity in how much desire, will, and all those things that stop you going down after a punch that he still has left, after he was really beaten well against Katsidis.

Re: British RBR - Amir Khan v Graham Earl - Saturday - C'wealth Lightweight title
It would be wrong NOT to have a couple of bob on the Earl KO at those prices..
Even if Khan's on the kill there's a chance of him getting chinned.

I think I might put a fiver on an Earl Ko with a quid each on rounds 2-6. The odds are just waaay too tempting not to have a flutter. However, I may also whack a few quid on a Khan points win so I have some sort of objectivity in the RBR.
Actually, for your info....I don't bet at all and would never have a flutter on a fight I'm doing a RBR on. ;)

Earl hasn't challenged for a "world" title. He turned down a fight with Thaxton too.. although understanable, I guess, considering the Khan fight has been there for him for a LONGtime now/...

I don't bet but i will for certain lay down a bet with those odds for Earl to win.

Re: British RBR - Amir Khan v Graham Earl - Saturday - C'wealth Lightweight title
I said all along that this would have been a PERFECT undercard fight for Floyd-Hatton.
There's going to be a huge British contingent in Vegas, give them a Brit showcase fight on the undercard. It would also give khan an extremely valuable experience of fighting in front of a big Vegas crowd. Oh well.

Warren wouldn't allow it, he can make dosh all on his own by selling Kahn Earl...
Had Hatton still been under Warren he would have still marketed it as two events for the extra money.
