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 puncher? No. Can Salita knock out Khan? Yes. If Khan runs away like we expect, then expect a points win for Khan. If he stands and fights, expect a KO win for Salita.

Salita told the Jewish Community Online, “His chin is definitely an area of vulnerability. It’s not just because of Prescott that he’s vulnerable. He has been knocked down a whole bunch of other times. He definitely has a seed of doubt because of the Prescott defeat. I’m going to go in there to do my work and eventually he is going to get hit on the chin. When he is, we’ll see what happens. He’s been beaten before and he’s going to get beaten by me.”

”I look forward to beating him. I have to be on my A-game and be very sharp. I need to stick to the game plan we have in place and with all the things we have worked on I feel it will be enough to take the belt”.

Khan has been floored three times in his career, with Willie Limond and Michael Gomez also sending him to the canvass before his defeat to Prescott last year, the first defeat of his pro career.

The Khan camp could not have picked a lighter hitting opponent, but you do not need to be hard hitting to knock out Amir Khan.
