Is there nobody except Thaxton that would have pleased you guys? Personally, I think Warren putting him in with a former world title challenger whose only two defeats in seven years have been narrow points defeats to South Africans in South Africa is a risky move, and St Clair will have plenty of guile, experience and boxing skills.

This is a great test for Amir, and we'll see whether his power can take out St Clair, and whether he has the speed to catch him often enough. Not to dismiss Thaxton, but I think St Clair is an entirely different challenge, and Amir will have a hard night's work with this guy.
