I see Oisin has some KOs on his resume (ok against nobodies but hey), Oisin also has a sd loss against Spadafora, so he must not be a complete bum.
Plus Roach wont be in Khan's corner, and odds of Khan getting Khaned in the first round are 41.00...i am tempted to put a cheeky tenner on that. What you guys know about Oisin?
Khan will KO him before round 6
it's his comeback fight... if they weren't taking risks for his Sky debut, they REALLY aren't gonna let him lose on his make-or-break comeback fight
Khan will destroy him, from what I have seen Fagan is wild and slow with no punch technique whatsoever, also Fagan has fought Andrew Hartley ... the guy who fought Charlie Zelenhoff.
yes but he tkoed him on round 1 wich says not much...Prescott also was punching wild (punch technique was good tho for what we could see). Dont get me wrong tho, i still believe the outcome would be Khan koing him around round 5, maybe even 3 lol, but i just like going against the odds where theres a possibility for the upset, and that 41.00 on Oisin KO round 1 is very tempting lol

For what i know, i see best chances are Oisin KO round 1, Khan KO round 5, Oisin KO round 7, Khan UD...actually Khan by decision is 8.00 not bad odds.
Both went the full 12 only once, and only once they went 10 rounds. Oisin is 35, quite old but i see he began boxing in 03, so hes not that experienced despite his age.
hes only been koed once in that year, his losses all happened in the USA, last 2 by SD. looks like a fine matchup but Oisin resume says journeyman.
Khan has power, but i dont think he will go for it before round 4, he will be very careful the firsts rounds. Khan will try and possibly KO Oisin in mid rounds, but if he doesnt, he might be tired in the end.
I have not seen his fight against Spadafora but if he went 12 rounds with him and lost a SD at 142 in america he must have good stamina, so theres a possibility he might take advantage then.
The same thing is what was said about Prescott. That his resume was good but no-one expected him to pose that much of a threat because this was the first fight on a major deal with SKY. It blew up in Khan and Warren's face and hopefully this one will too!
True, but it was Khans last trainer that 'handpicked' Prescott, so i'm sure Warren has stepped in to ensure the opponent is looked at in more detail.
I would love Khan to lose again, but i don't think it will happen in this fight. Who knows what will happen in 09 though.
I love the fact you have labelled Prescott as your favourite fighter of all-time. There's no better humour then the British. I admire you for that.
Khan was chicken dancing already after the first jab! If Oisin comes in to win surely will get on the attack from the get go to expose his chin again. Khan will try to box but what if he gets caught cold again before he can warm up?
I've not seen anything on Fagan to form an opinion on him, but his resume is okay, but considering this is Khan's comeback, any real threat would be out of the question. A struggle in this fight could spell an end before his career has started, so i expect a Khan KO
I would love Fagan to come away with a win, but i'm certain it won't happen. Warren would not take such a risk against one of his best known fighters.
If Oisin could apply early pressure, constant jabs and straights to the chin, im sure he could stagger Khan and go for a KO. The most important thing for a Khan opponent is a good defense, and work on power.

I should imagine every boxer who will fight Khan from now on will apply a lot of pressure is the opening rounds and try and go for his glass jaw.
I have heard a lot of people defend Khan by saying that any lightweight would of been KTFO out by the punches landed by Prescott. That maybe so but if you watch the fight again just before Khan is caught with the first big shot he stumbles from one of Prescott's jabs!!! This suggests to me that his chin is about as weak of a chin I have ever seen.
I was there at the MEN arena on that cold Septemeber night when Khan was exposed and I will never forget it.

When is that bum fighting again?
This Saturday on Sky Sports PPV.
Don't know enough about Oisin Fagan to make a judgement on how Khan will do against him. I'm guessing Khan's team see him as no threat with this being his come back fight.
I'm not a fan of Khan at all though, mainly due to the fact he's been harping on about becoming world champion, yet has avoided fighting Jon Murray (British Lightweight Champion) for years.
