Khan-Salita

By Ian Aldous: Dmitriy Salita (33-1-1) is on a mission to become a World Champion. Following his failed challenge for the World Boxing Association (WBA) light-welterweight title against Amir Khan, he’s moved up to welterweight. He also has his own successful promotional company, Salita Promotions. At only 29 years of age, Dmitriy certainly has a [...]

By Eric Thomas: Dmitri Salita (30-1-1, 16 KO’s) wants a rematch with WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan, who stopped Salita in the 1st round on December 5th in England. Salita, 28, was undefeated at the time that he, with his number #1 ranking in the WBA, stepped up and was viciously smacked down by [...]

By Liam Santiago: World Boxing Council champion, Carl Froch, has finally hit back at Amir Khan’s recent childish outbursts, claiming he can’t stand Froch and so on. The argument started when Froch made an honest comment regarding Khan’s chin and the level of excitement of his fights. About six months later, after finally finding the [...]

By Michael Lieberman: I’ve always been rather curious when I see a fighter that is being pumped up by the media and seen as the next big thing. WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan (22-1, 16 KO’s) seems to be the latest flavor of the week with his 1st round TKO victory over Dmitriy Salita [...]

By William Mackay: Based on his past fights, I’m not expecting to see World Boxing Association light welterweight champion Amir Khan facing a tough opponent in the future. Khan has been handled with kid gloves since his brutal 1st round knockout loss last year against Breidis Prescott. Khan has rebounded from that loss, albeit against [...]

By William Mackay: Last Saturday night, World Boxing Association light welterweight champion Amir Khan took out Dmitriy Salita in a 1st round knockout at the Metro Arena, in Newcastle. The win appears to have created a minor Khan craze and made boxing fans from all regions view Khan as being the new world wild star [...]

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 Charles Barrett: 74 seconds was all it took for Amir Khan to send Dmitriy Sialita back to New York Probably never to be heard of again I didn’t for one second think Sialita had the tools to dethrone Khan but equally I didn’t foresee quite such an overwhelming victory.

By Richie Doyle: As a young gambling boxing fan I find myself gob smacked at what I witnessed Saturday night in Newcastle my bets consisted of two sizable bets one on Breidis Prescott to KO the smaller Kevin Mitchell and the other was on Dmitry Salita to beat an overrated Amir Khan and by god [...]

By Amar Jahangir: The words of Freddy ‘The Master’ Roach just minutes ago after Khan produced an amazing display of speed, power and intelligence. I hope Khan goes for Ricky Hatton next, I honestly think people do not understand how talented Khan is, at only 22 he was world champ. He is the quickest boxer [...]

By Dennis Broadhurst: Amir Khan has destroyed Dmitriy Salita in one round tonight! Khan came out strong and floored Salita with a huge right hand, Salita got up but didn’t recovered and was knocked down twice again in the round before the fight being stopped. I know I predicted Khan to win this one but [...]

By Dennis Broadhurst: Firstly I would like to say to the readers that I do not hate Amir Khan, I think he is a great prospect in boxing and if he starts fighting positively again like he did last year then I see him becoming a big attraction in boxing. After reading some articles in [...]

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 [...]

By William Mackay: At today’s weigh-in, World Boxing Association light welterweight champion Amir Khan (21-1, 15 KO’s) weighed in at 139.5 for his title fight against unbeaten challenger Dmitriy Salita (30-0-1, 16 KO’s) on Saturday at the Metro Radio Arena, Newcastle, Tyne and Wear. Salita, 27, weighed in at 140 for the bout. Salita is [...]

By Jason Kim: Unbeaten challenger Dmitriy Salita (30-0-1, 16 KO’s) isn’t the least bit intimidated by World Boxing Association light welterweight champion Amir Khan (21-1, 15 KO’s), seeing him as damaged goods because of a brutal knockout that Khan experienced last year in a 1st round blow out loss to knockout artist Breidis Prescott in [...]

By Scott Gilfoid: Freddie Roach, Amir Khan’s trainer, recently complained of bruises on his body from the shots that World Boxing Association light welterweight champion Khan (21-1, 15 KO’s) has been landing after a recent session of hard body work, according to The Mirror. Roach has been letting Khan pound on his body pad in [...]

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 [...]

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 William Mackay: If World Boxing Association light welterweight champion Amir Khan gets his way, he’ll be the one fighting Juan Manuel Marquez in the near future, not former light welterweight champion Ricky Hatton. Khan said in an article with the Daily Star “He [Juan Manuel Marquez] is made for my style and, if I [...]

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 Daniel Ciminera: In my mind, boxing as lost a lot of it’s excitement and romance of late. The event that prompted this article is that of the Khan v Salita undercard. Firstly, the fighters on the undercard are at a disadvantage as Khan is not a big-name fighter yet, and what’s more, not many [...]

By Liam Santiago: Dmitry Salita wants to follow in the footsteps of Breidis Prescott by knocking Amir Khan out when they meet in Newcastle on December 5th. There is a huge blue print on how to knock Khan down as it has been done on more than a couple of occasions. Is Salita a power [...]

By Scott Gilfoid: I got a few chuckles reading the latest boxing news quotes on Amir Khan at The Guardian where Khan says “What happened to me against [Breidis] Prescott didn’t make Prescott a better fighter than me. It was a little mistake I made.” A little mistake? Yeah, I guess you could call being [...]

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. However, a couple of the undercard bouts are great. Lightweight boxing hero to many British fans, Breidis Prescott is squaring off against top [...]

By William Mackay: Amir Khan, the WBA light welterweight champion, doesn’t see himself fighting World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao in the future because of how long it will take for him to get up to Pacquiao’s level. In an interview at the Sportinglife, Khan said “But as for fighting him in the future, [...]

By Sohaib Malik: Although I am an Amir Khan fan, this article is not to just lavish praise on the World Boxing Association light-welterweight Champion. If anything, as the title suggests, this article is just a balanced look at the Bolton boxer. I’m rational enough (as are the majority of boxing fans) to discuss boxing [...]

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 Liam Santiago: It is no surprise that the many of the British public are against Amir Khan. After amazing performances from classy world champions Carl Froch and David Haye over the last few months, Khan has been made to look lacking. Many people don’t care about Khan in Britain and for some, he is [...]

By Liam Santiago: Amir Khan is still blubbering complete rubbish about World Boxing Council champion Carl Froch. Khan’s latest childish stunt was in an interview on the Amir Khan fans website. Khan called Froch ”unprofessional” and he claimed Froch’s win over Dirrell was a ”hometown decision”. The Bolton man said, ”He needs to take the [...]

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 [...]
