Look for Khan and Mitchell to get brutally knocked out
December 4th, 2009
By Scott Gilfoid: I hate to say this but I think World Boxing Association light welterweight champion Amir Khan and lightweight Kevin Mitchell are both going to be destroyed tomorrow night at the Metro Radio Arena, Newcastle, Tyne and Wear. Khan, shaky chin and all, will be facing unbeaten Dmitriy Salita, while Mitchell was be going up against Khan conqueror Breidis Prescott (21-1, 18 KO’s). The speed will be on the side of the Brits, there’s no question. But the power is on the side of the visiting Prescott and Salita.
We’re heard about how Khan is a different fighter all that kind of happy blather, but we haven’t seen Khan put in with a slugger like Prescott since then. Salita is the biggest puncher that Khan has faced since that fateful night last year in September. Salita isn’t fast, but he has a great left hook. When Salita eventually lands it, Khan will go to sleep, mark my words.
Khan doesn’t have the chin to take Salita’s left hook. It won’t matter that Salita is slow, because when he lands it, Khan will fold like a deck of cards. All Khan’s dreams of being a big star in the U.S will go down the drain on Saturday. But that’s what happens when you take a fighter with a weak chin and put them in with a puncher. And that’s what Salita is. He’s a puncher.
Prediction: Salita by brutal 6th round knockout.
Kevin Mitchell, likewise, is walking into an almost certain beating in his fight with the much bigger and stronger Prescott. This fight won’t even be close. Mitchell, 25, has faced mostly local fighters in building up his gaudy 29-0 record. I see little substance at all in there. In the fights that I’ve seen of Mitchell, I have totally been unimpressed. He looks like a limited European fighter as far as I can tell.
No way do I see Mitchell as a 1st tier fighter. This is going to be a slaughter. Mitchell doesn’t have the height, defense or the power to fight competitively with the hard hitting Prescott. The thing of it is, Mitchell doesn’t have the versatility to keep alive for long against a big puncher like Prescott. Mitchell will do what he always does by bum rushing Prescott in the 1st round and immediately run into trouble when Prescott lands his big hooks.
I want this fight to at least go six rounds so that I can get some entertainment but I can’t see it lasting more than one to two rounds at best. Mitchell will rush out there with his primitive caveman style of fighting and Prescott will tee off on Mitchell’s head like it was a big pumpkin on a fence. It’s going to be batting practice for Prescott. Mitchell is going to look like a schoolboy the way that Prescott pummels him around the ring and has him up and down on the canvas.
Prediction: Prescott by 2nd round knockout.

What an horrible writer, The owner of this site needs to send you packing, I Have read so many of your articles now and everysingle one as been crap. How you can be a writer on this site is beyond me….. Good prediction by the way, Can you tell me who will win the pacman n mayweather fight so i can put my house on it, Cheers…
how wrong can 1 man be !
scotty scotty scotty you never cease to amaze me with your boxing knowledge. you must have did a bit of boxing yourself in your day i will look you up on boxrec mate. ha ha .
Well……. When you’re right 5% of time, you’re wrong 95% of the time…….. Nob jockey
i dont know how or why they let you write for this site but have you ever predicted a right decision? you seem to get it wrong almost everytime. do you not feel a bit embarrased about your wrong predictions? i have never heard as much shi% coming out of a so called “boxing expert”.do you have no shame?
hahhahahahhahaha
The Brits were different league tonight convicingly beating their “superior foes”.
Scott you really are crap at this. Even if you know nothing about boxing, you could have at least made the effort to look on Box Rec. They have Salita at number 62, and Khan at 6. Also Prescott looked rubbish in his last 2 fights. No surprises here for real fans.
Keep up the good work though, the laughter value of your articles is priceless. I might read it again.
Thanks.
I hate to Say this Napoleon Gilfoid but you have proved again you know f**k all about boxing. You have been brutally exposed.
So turns out your boy from New York was next to useless.
And Prescott was made to look foolish and over rated.
And Scott, well… again made to look both useless and foolish.
hang yourself scott, peerez, santiago! stop hating boxers.hehehe
Hahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahhhhhhhhahahhahahahahhahahahahahahahahaa ahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahh aahahahahaha hahahahhahaahhahahahahahahahahhahahaha
Tyson retired as he said he wouldn’t disgrace the sport he loved by loosing to that calibre of fighter again. Retire Scott, you’re a disgrace to this sport. It was brutal though – you got that bit right. Doesn’t get much more brutal.
Oh dear Scott.. I feel for you mate..
SCOTT!!”!!! BWA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HOW FANTSTIC! I laughed long and hard when I read this!
im sure scott will still have an excuse lol
in the whole year iv been coming on this site scott has had 1 prediction right out of a lot of predictions lol you should give up scott your a very bad boxing writer and every 1 knows it evens americans like my self
I bet you thought John McCain would trounce that guy with the funny name……You’re an arse mate. An arse
Gilfoid how wrong could you be yet again haha.. Please retire from writing these shambolic articles, your a joke!
Are you running a hot bath? Do you have the razor ready? You absolute Tw*t!
“Salita by brutal 6th round knockout.” Epic Fail!!!!
The most outrageously inaccurate prediction since Neville chamberline returned from Berlin with “Good News”. A**e
The law of averages have failed you scott! You get one right and then get the next 2 wrong haaha
No no no, Scott was right all you doubters, Salita was slow
Hahahaha so, so wrong. No doubt yo’ll come up with some rubbish excuses such as Mitchell ran when he completely outboxed Prescott. He didn’t run like Dirrell did because Mitchell actually managed to hit Prescott and landed far more punches, certainly more than 10 per round. As for your Khan explanation, I actually cannot wait. How you will explain a 76 second knockout and attempt to defend Salita is beyond me.
lol scott stop blacklisting my objective replys your too sensitive
Had my 89 year old gran round for a buffet tonight. God bless her. She hates boxing! But I’d dare say she knows a lot more than Scott gifford! Your a shame to you country!A SHAME! Install some pride back into America … STOP WRITING PLEASE!
Gilfraud will probably now either ignore the results or claim that Prescott was low on confidence and Salita was ill.
you must feel like a right d*ckhead
Does this mean that you will stop writing or that you will post 15 articles over the next week claiming that Salita was ahead on the cards when Khan annihiated him from the off…?
Literally could that prediction have been ANY worse and far off?…i suppose mitchell could have won via KO 1. Amazing. I seriously doubt he will write a follow up article.
Heyy man I lost money from your expert analysis. you seemed to go the extra mile in this article so i leave you with some advice “neva go full retard” scotty.
Another article by Scott based on share stupidity and idiocity, Scott you shoulod die in a pond of water due to these stupid perdiction. I don’t know why stupids like you comment on boxing instead you shuold be working on a hair saloon.
I knew this guy was on day release from a mental asylum …
Haha another one wrong m8 , Mitchell compleatly outboxes bredis presscott and takes his best shot salita dosent even hit khan once and is blown out in 74 seconds
Scott. You ever thought about being a TV weather man? Your predictions records about as accurate.
You ever thought about being a weather man on crystal meth? Cuz your already on the meth.
How wrong could you be Gilfraud??
What was the statement now – oh yes “look for Khan and Mitchell to get brutally knocked out”.
Mitchell boxed beautifully and won comfortably against Prescott and as for Khan v Salita – well it wasn’t quite long enough to be butal was it!?!
I think I speak for all British boxing fans in saying give it up Gilfraud you are an absolute joke – the laws of averages would give you a far higher correct prediction track record and not a single post fight comment after all those other incorrect pre fight predictions to admit you were wrong and know nothing about boxing, so why should tonight be any different.
No doubt we’ll be subjected to another article soon full of excuses as to why you got it so badly or should i say brutally wrong again, if the editors allow you to write any more articles that is.
Ah Scott enjoy your Sunday morning basking in the knowledge that you were wrong on both counts. I think Amir could move up and KO both Ward and Dirrel. Probably in the first round.
Well you clearly need to get another job! Couldn’t have been more wrong
This man needs to give up british boxers are a helll of alot better than you americans give them credit for.
So that’d be a decision win for Mitchell and a devastating 1st roung KO for …Khan!
Still, the “Brutal Knockout” part was right.
HAHHA DIDNT HE DO WELL, THE BOTH OF THEM
Guys this is what is known in boxing as caught cold, lol I love this site, and say what you will about the Gilface, but would you be logged in here if it wasnt for that clown?
Well done Scott! You proved your boxing knowledge once again. Hats off.
Great and accurate predictions. Keep writing NOB!!
Well… the brutally knocked out bit was right…
Scott, buddy, mate, what can we say…..what can you say….. Please now crawl into a hole and save yourself anymore humiliation.
Ritire now Scott
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
and our survey says….WRONG. Did you also predict that you’d get lucky with Halle Berry the night you wrote that article but ended up with Ru Paul?? Bahahahaha
Hahahahahaha….. Prediction number 1…..WRONG.
Lets see how you get on with the next one…..
Yeah, that Mitchell’s rubbish. Or, err, not…
Enjoyable fight, slow start. Will be interested in Scotts excuses if he can dream any up (He more than likely will)
As a boxing fan I wanted the best fighter to win, I am Irish and as green as Amir Kahns Track suit top, I have no love for Britain, but I do enjoy good fighters no matter where they are from, so I have no problem in that respect . Simple as the best fighter won here.
I hope Kahn also wins, he is a nice guy, chin is weak but speed is among the best there is.
Speed wins this one, will he be caught again on that chin on anther night? Yes, does he have the best trainor in the world? yes
Oh Scott you are such an attention seeker. Were you unloved as child??
Scott’s prediction strategy is pretty straight-forward.
1. Pick an American to win.
2. No American fighting? Pick the Brit to lose.
3. 2 Americans or 2 Brits fighting against eachother? Dont make a prediction.
Simples.
i wonder what scot gilfiod would do with his life if there were no british boxers to write about?
im surprised scot picked against the brits
gilfiods usually all over the brits nuts! (sarcasm)
ah well.. at least hes not predictable (more sarcasm)
for those of you who dont know…
scot gilfiod is just a troll who gets his kicks from winding up british boxing fans
this scott haemorrhoid is a comedy genius! How many wrong predictions can you make and still believe you’re anything other than a plonker? Keep writing scotty boy, you make me laugh, just like all comedy americans.
scott gilfoid the article writer said salita is a puncher when hes not
salita is not a puncher and probably wont land anything to really hurt khan, prescott is a puncher and is gonna hurt mitchell
come on now! he’s only 22.
Or he is still in Jim and is allowed internet access in a vain attempt to prepare him for life back in the real world !
The article reads like if the author has just come out of mental asylum and is in rehabilitation ..
this is khans madatory he not fought salita he would of had to vacate the title but if you look at world rankings any1 see salitias name way down there look at the ring top ten khan 3rd after fighting who politics in boxing manny is that used to dealing with them in boxing hes running for pm suppose its alot like boxing lying cheating making the rules as you go along even making the rules to suit your self
Scoot you are a complete Moron. Salita is not a puncher and his record speaks for it. He has not faced anyone in Khans league and Khan will be too fast for him. I see Khan winning by late stoppage or unanimous descesion.
As for Mitchell against Prescott thats more accurate. Mitchell has terrible defense and gets hit too often and Prescott hits pretty hard so the only way Mitchell can win this fight is to outbox him. I cant see that happening however and i see Prescott winning by KO withing 6 rounds
Predictable article from Gilfraud, just as the excuses will be next week.
Come on editors put this Brit boxer bashing idiot out of his misery.
I cant see Khan losing, im lookin forward to see if him and Roach have worked on bringing his power into his chin protecting style.
Mitchell is a better boxer than Prescott but Prescotts got undeniable power and Mitchell likes to go toe to toe, even when its agasint his better judgement. It could happen.
That’s 2 more predictions you can add to your long list of ones you get wrong Scott, Moron. I tell you what Scott every time a brit fighter fights why don’t you write a one sided argument about how he’s gonna get pummelled really easily whilst pointing out the ridiculous flaws he has in his game and wirte about how there opponent is the best thing since Ali and make a prediction that never comes off and look like a complete p r i c k. Oh wait you already do that. You Gimp. I bet you’ve never even seen Mitchell fight. Like all American Journos, watch a fighter once on you tube and think they know everything about them when they know jack. American journos are really poor.
Absolutely fantastic post by Steve. I agree wholeheartedly!
scot go and play on the train track!!!
But it is time for you to give Kev and Khan credit, they are in your own words fighting way superior foes. Taking fights that were not forced upon them where they are almost certain to lose ( in your expert opinion ). American fighters rarely take fights they could lose, let alone 2 in the same night ! 2 on the same bill ! So come on give some credit.
I realise it is difficult for American fighters to take on boxers who can beat them, because they are vastly superior to all other boxers of the world. In fact it is nearly impossible for them to lose to a non american.
On the rare occasions when they are defeated it is always down to bad judging or bad refereeing like in Holyfield – Lewis 1 where Lewis was gifted a draw in America.
But it does not matter because when an American mega super man star hero being is beaten, the American expert super wonder writers just refuse to acknowledge the defeat and re write history.
This is fairly normal in all walks of life, in wonder America world. After all i have watched many a movie from America ( thank god for that place ) about their heroic war to save the world from tyranny against those evil vietnamese who were about to conquer Europe until American supermen saved us. In these docu movies the hero America man soldier supermen warriors, face home town judges, referees and crowds but dominate their primitive opponents with hit and not be hit tactics ( until they found out they could not win a war from the air ). Any great american who allowed himself to be captured escaped and kills hundreds of the weak primitive asians. America clearly won the war and only a few fools who know nothing about it say otherwise ( Scot told me this personally ).
From now on i will refer to this fantasist author as Napoleon Gilfoid
Scot how did i know what your prediction would be ……… Oh yeah 2 are British ( bound to lose ) , and its got to be by brutal ko. Thing is you could be right. Khan does not have a good chin, it will let him down again in a fight i am certain of that. Salita has a poor chin too. I think Khan will win tonight.
Kev has a tough night ahead of him, but he is a tough guy, so its not beyond his skill set ( limited European just the way you like them ) to win.
Amir Khan will win big tonight, I don’t expect a KO but Khan will school Salita. Salita is way too slow.
I think khan is way too fast for salita , another unanimous points decision, khan’s chin may be suspect but freddie roach has sharpened His game enough but he has youth & fitness on His side. He spars a lot with manny which can’t be a bad thing. I think Mitchell will be probably get bombed out he is brave but is a little straight up. Look for a khan v Prescott rematch at some point. Could go the same way but I pick khan to outpoint him this time.
I hate americans
i tell you what every clown who comments on this post sayin khan will lose is wrong…mark my words on it khan will stop this and will do it with ease forget the khan against prescott, this khan will outbox and outpunch salita…why u ask? simple freddie roach is in his corner and knows more about boxing than any of us ever will
Salita has no names of real consequence on his record and hasn’t shown any real power in thirty fights. Khan should not have a problem with him.
Salita is not a known puncher, but has a decent left hook. Doubt he has the power to win by knockout, let alone ‘brutal knockout.’
If Mitchell can take Prescott’s punches, or at least recover from them. He is in with a good chance. Prescott becomes very limited after he can’t get his opponent out of there early, and possibly is effected mentally from his previous defeat.
