My heart goes out to the Khan haters.. maybe next time he'll get knocked out eh? :p
Salita wasn't in his class, simple.. but what a fucking combo, one of the fastest 1-2's you'll see. So who's next for 'King Khan'? Personally, I wanna see Marquez or Diaz.
I do feel bad for Salita. He seems a nice guy, but he's been built into something he didn't have the talent for. At least he's no longer the mandatory.
Haha, Nicky Piper is the only man who talks more shit than Jim Watt. Fuckin hell, I consider myself a Khan fan, but Sky's team are going way over the top.
EDIT: Although it is great watching all the people saying Khan would get KTFO having to change their tune in the space of 90 seconds. That makes it worthwhile.
It's in Atlantic City, NJ.Quote:

I bet Arreola makes sure that he says "fuk" many times in the post fight interview, just to piss the WBC off. ;)
It was. He is lighting fast. Until he gets in a battle and absorbs some shots there will be a cloud hovering. Was hoping to see some of that but o well.Quote:

The New Yorker clambered to his feet, but his legs had gone and the referee had no choice but to step in as Khan continued his bombardment.
Khan, 22, now has 22 wins and 16 knockouts from 23 professional fights.
Oh come on, even old feather weights Barrera and Gomez did better and the same Prescott got got beaten by Mitchell who is no geat shakes.Quote:

Here's my excuse, been as consistent as the sun rise. Salita is not any good. Said it when the fight was signed.Quote:

Its funny Amir destroys a 31-0 former Golden Gloves champ in just 76 seconds and its no big deal but if a flyweight did that to a similarly rated unknown 108 lber it would be proof of their p4p status.
As some here like to say ......FACT;)
Hilarious.
He got a bum out of there like he should have, so credit to him. He has improved a LOT under Roach I don't care what anyone says, I see a better all around improvement.
Anyway......It's time for competitive fights, this is in no way PPV worthy, the undercards pissed all over this 'main event' How much did Khan, SKY and Warren rake in for this shit? Also where the fuck do they find these undefeated fighters? I'd love to see who that bearded fucker fought for 30 odd fights to stay unbeaten I really would.
Come on now.. you knew as well as everyone else did that it would be a easy night for Khan, but you all clinged so desperately to the hope that Khan would be KO'd.Quote:

I was a big Khan critic before he went to Freddie Roach. But the chinks I saw in him then don't see to be there now.
Sure Amir is being Frank Warrened - placed in relatively easy fights - so we don't really know where he's at.
But credit where it's due, I think Khan has improved a lot recently.
Glad I didn't pay for that. ;D
Just saw that on Justin TV, after 3 seconds he floored Salitas with a vicious shot to the head, Salitas never recovered properly, he floored him 2 other times in the remaining 53 seconds and it was lights out for little Salitas.
Congrats to khan anything else said doesn't matter
you think he's improved but you can't really tell. ;DQuote:

Congrats To Amir Khan Good Job Fredie Roach
The Heads still over the Front Knee ;D
I've seen videos of him sparring and he looked better in his past few fights. He was always going to knock out an unbeaten bloke with no-one on his resume!Quote:

I think Khan will be alright with Freddie. He's always had the speed and power, but the defence was shite. Now it looks as though he's got that sorted or is on the way to get it sorted.
He'll always have a suspect Vera Lynn, and I have my doubts as to how far he can go, but fair play to the lad.
