Khan by 6th Round Stoppage. Props to him for taking a tough fight, who in their 13th or 14th Pro fights take such challenges? Name any other prospect below 15 fights who is willing to fight such competition, Earl is a good boxer but not on Khan's level. He has power though and might be the toughest opponent khan has yet faced. -
Povetkin? Seriosly though, this is a respectable matchup. Khan certainly has the talent to win & I think he will, but Earl rocked Katsidis badly and you'd have to give him a decent chance of doing the same to Khan.Name any other prospect below 15 fights who is willing to fight such competitionComment

Nice fight. I'm surprised Warren didn't put this on the Nov. 3 megacard...Comment

i think both earl and khan have an interim fight in october, on the same card. warren wanted to give khan a little more time to work on his defensive shortcomings.
i'm pleased this is going to happen though...earl may not have that much left but he'll definitely be hyped up for this fight like limond was - and he'll definitely be going for the knock out from the start, so this should be a very exciting fight!
i reckon khan will have learnt a lot from the limond fight and will keep his china out of trouble to win by UD - or the ref will stop the fight in the later rounds when earl lets himself get tagged with several shots without reply.Comment
