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 people like him. I’d bet that more people will buy the fight in order to see if he will get knocked out, than to cheer him on. The worst part is that most of the fighters are Britain’s new wave of talent, the Olympic lads. How on earth are these guys fighting on pay per view already? They don’t have a fan-base yet, and can’t expect to build one if we cant watch them fight regularly on free TV.
Khan-Salita
Salita says he will target Khan’s ‘vulnerable chin’ – Boxing
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.
Khan talks about Hatton and Prescott – News
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 knocked damn near unconscious a little mistake, but the way that Prescott had Khan flopping around on the canvas like a fish out of water, I think Khan might be in denial.
Khan should be on the undercard on December 5th
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 British contender, Kevin Mitchell.
Khan doesn’t see bout against Pacquiao happening
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, I can’t really see that happening because I’m sure by the time I get to that level he will probably be calling it a day.”
Amir Khan, two words that cause a hell of lot of controversy amongst boxing fans!
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 without reverting to an emotional outburst!
Santiago’s fight predictions – Khan, Pacquiao, Prescott and more!
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 you remember correctly, I predicted Haye to beat Valuev on points, Alexander to stop Witter and Prescott to spark Khan early on. Here I go again.
Khan could learn a tip or two from Froch, Haye and Hatton
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 old news. I am sure if he moves to America he will not be missed that much.
Amir Khan: ”Froch is a bad man and is heading for defeat” – News
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 sport more professionally. I don’t like fighters who just talk rubbish and trash to their opponents.,” Khan said in an interview at Doghouse Boxing.
Amir Khan hot stuff or just another protected Fighter?
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 the future of British boxing with Freddie Roach in his corner and having sparring session against Manny Pacquiao this will only help the young fighter develop.
