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.
