Khan vs Salita

[0james0]

I'm not the biggest fan of Amir Khan as I feel he is a manufactured champion.

He has good speed, but no punch power at all and seems to win fights by throwing endless rabbit punches.

I wasn't intending on paying for this on PPV as I don't think Khan deserves to be on PPV yet, the fight should have been on normal tv to build his fanbase IMO.

But the more I look into it, it has the potential to be a decent fight.

Does anyone know much on Salita? I've seen a couple fights of his just from watching boxing and a couple more highlights from searching for them. But besided that I'll admit to not knowing much on him.

He's undefeated and has had quite a few fights which does speak volumes on his ability, even if he has fought poor opponents, he still beat them.


So will it be a good fight?
Will you be buying?
Is Salita any good?

I wouldn't say Khan has 'no punch power at all'. Sure he isnt a one punch knockout merchant but he has enough pop to make his opponents respect the punches.
Salita is no great shakes. He doesn't have any outstanding qualities and is pretty slow. Seems fairly durable though, although whether he will be durable at world class level i don't know.
Having said that, i think Khan could have (not should have) taken an easier first defence.

[0james0]

Was a mandatory I think.

Arum is the guys promoter, so I'm sure Roach is confident of a Khan win or it wouldn't have happened.

[Nameless]

Khan should make an easy history of that one, he has way enough speed and power to get the task done plus under Roach it seems to improve at a fairly good speed.

I used to like Khan i watched him win his silver medal i've watched all his pro fights but i got sick of them ramming him down our throats trying to fool us how good he was. Then came his first PPV and i thought no way is he PPV material yet this is a joke then i watched the countdowns on sky and saw this kid Prescott had hunger he lived in a right run down place had a big punch and i thought he is guna smoke Khan well worth £14.95 and how right i was. So on December 5th i will be cheering Salita on so we can get rid of Khan for good. Also with Prescott on the under card fighting Kevin Mitchell theirs a good chance of a Prescott vs Khan rematch.

[BritBox]

Khan should win this easily. Salita has fought terrible opposition to plump up his record.

Also, I wouldn't be thinking Khan v Prescott rematch yet. Mitchell is tough and will give Prescott a much better fight than Khan did.

[gudnite vienna]

he's got some of the best fighers in and around his division so we will see what Kahn is made of eventually! He seems to have a much tighter defence and seems to of calmed down under Roach..

[HattonTheHammer]

So will it be a good fight? - Usually always entertainment with khan. He comes to fight, hopefully this guy will as well and we get a good`un

Will you be buying? - Yes, jury is still well out on khan but he has impressed me immensly since the prescott debacle and has clearly demonstrated he is PPV material in the UK!

Is salita any good - His 30-0 appears padded but from what ive seen very briefly he looks the part. Dont think he`ll win the fight but if he takes khan 12 and makes it interesting he`ll come away with a lot of credit

He comes to fight? what fights u been watching I just see a guy who throws punches at gloves then runs...

That's kind of what I thought. 100 jabs a second.

[Althugz]

Just watched a video of this guy, Salita - You can't miss him with punches. He's gonna make Amir Khan look a million dollars unless he catches him with a bomb.

He attacks and when he's finished just stands there! Doesn't think attack, defence, attack, defence. Just attack.

Damn, there was me thinking Amir might get a chance to add to his "been knocked out" highlight reel. He'd be in direct competition with Hatton

[Islington haye maker]

Khan is no where near,worth having ppv status.

I would like to watch the fight.But i won't shell out £15 to see it.
Now i must admit i've been following kev mitchell and i think that prescott fight,has me licking my lips.More than khans fight.

[SalTheButcher]

straight up...


seriously,.....


i think its funny as hell that the khan people think 'what will khan do after salita'



but in all seriousness...


salita should be favored
