Khan vs Salita

[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.

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..

I don't think he will be able to deal with Khan's speed at all. But there
are worse opponents Khan could face. Salita is cut prone and that is
going to be a big factor in this fight, I would say a mid-round stoppage
is highly likely.

He looks a great match-up for Khan. Pretty slow, predictable and not a big puncher.

Khan will look good stopping him. Although with Khan's incredibly fragile chin you never know.

Smart matchmaking isn't putting your guy in with bums its putting your guy in with a guy that looks credible on paper but in reality plays to your fighters strengths. I've seen Salita a number of times and not only is he not that good style wise he doesn't match up well with Khan.

Kotelnik was very credible on paper but he's a guy who likes to stand flat footed with a high guard and counter. Put him in with a guy who will move all night, make Salita come to him, and then throw combos keeping him busy blocking with that high guard and he's got little chance.

Freddy Roach is no mug.

This. I think Khan is a lot better than people give him credit for & I will be paying for this because those on here have made me a fan (sorry Missy), but I thought Salita lost on the Calzaghe-Jones undercard against a journeyman. I expect Khan to stop him in 8. Then he should fight either the Bradley-Peterson winner or Devon Alexander. He won't though

yep Khan could well headbutt him early, u never know there might be a dodgy ref who'll let it just get past 4 rounds so they can dick Salita on a td
