By Peter Wells: After Amir Khan’s fantastic 1st round stoppage of Dmitriy Salita has now opened the doors to a new world of fights. I expected Amir to stop Salita after 7 rounds, not 1, and that was a spectacular display of power and speed, absolutely breath taking. I can say that Khan’s move up [...]

By Liam Santiago: Let me get one thing very straight. Dmitriy Salita is one of the weakest light welterweight fighter’s I have ever seen in my entire life. That includes all journeymen, not just champions and challengers. I was in hysterics listening to the sky pundits Glen McCory and Jonny Nelson hyping Salita like he [...]

By Scott Gilfoid: First let me start off by saying that the decision given to Kevin Mitchell (30-0, 22 KO’s) was one of the most undeserving that I’ve ever seen since I started following boxing many years ago.

By Charles Barrett: 74 seconds was all it took for Amir Khan to send Dmitriy Sialita back to New York

By Amar Jahangir: The words of Freddy ‘The Master’ Roach just minutes ago after Khan produced an amazing display of speed, power and intelligence.

by Daniel Ciminera: As I see it, this fight serves to highlight the different types of fighters Europe, especially the UK, and America are breeding at the moment. This delivers some good news for Europe.
I wont go off on a tangent, but Khan is a European style fighter, he’s fast, aggressive, and can punch with [...]

By William Mackay: While few boxing fans are giving number #1 mandatory contender Dmitriy Salita (30-0-1, 16 KO’s) much of a chance against WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan (21-1, 15 KO’s), World Boxing Association heavyweight champion David Haye isn’t one of them, saying in a news article from Sportinglife “Salita is a solid fighter [...]

By Peter Wells: Amir Khan defends his WBA Light Welterweight title next weekend I Newcastle against unbeaten but untested Dmitriy Salita. Salita has only been 12 rounds once and has no punch, so won’t trouble Khan’s suspect chin. You can see it was a clever defence by Amir, don’t dive in the deep end straight [...]

By Liam Santiago: I have tried time and time again to try and figure out why Dmitriy Salita is the number one contender for Amir Khan’s World Boxing Association title but I can not, for the life of me come up with any reason. Boxrec have him ranked 60th in the light welterweight class. Yes, [...]

By Liam Santiago: I have absolutely no interest whatsoever in World Boxing Association light welterweight champion Amir Khan’s bout with Dmitriy Salita on December 5th, which is to be screened on PPV.

By Liam Santiago: I am proud to say that in the last four years, I have only ever made a wrong prediction for a boxing bout once and that was the Hatton/Pac Man bout, which Hatton should have pulled out of. So, when it comes to betting advice on bouts, Santiago is the word. If [...]

By Joe Eccleston: With a Olympic silver medal, a win over Barrera and a world champion at just 22 years old it all sound good for the hot prospect from England. With fighters like Calzaghe retired and Hatton looking like his best years are behind him, it looks like the youngster is going to be [...]

By Dennis Broadhurst:After looking at some videos of Salita in action, I wonder if Khan will ever step up his opposition. In the eyes of some boxing fans, the ones I mean who sit in their rocking chair with a few beers watching the boxing, this may look like a good fight because Salita is [...]
