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 not so quickly, he put on a masterful display and hopefully has silenced all of the critics for the meantime.
Kevin Mitchell

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.
