any upsets?

he defo wont give up but amir will properly win but im still suporing local fighters

[shingle]

what is the point of going to see a fight when it`s obvious the oppenent has been hand picked this kahn saga is going to go on and on until suckers stop paying to watch glass jaw fight

[OptimusWolf]

quit whining guys. Amir has had 13 fights, and lawton was the last man to face thaxton and was vaguely competitive if i remember right.

I for one don't want khan stepping up too fast; he's 20 years old and has a questionable chin, i'd give him another 4 or 5 fights at domestic level, then 3 at euro and then look for a world title.

You go look at 80% of HoFers records. they fought guys much worse than lawton in their 14th fight.

EDIT: I got mixed up with meager, still this is an ok fight given khan's need to slow down a bit.

[Randall_Hopkirk]

isn't this a tune up before a fight with Graham Earl? It's good to stay busy, Khan's going in the right direction.

So Amir Khan is fighting another boxer by day, Fish and Chip shop worker by night.

Hopefully Lawton will make enough money from this fight to put some gas and electricity on his key meter.

In other words, Its another typical frank warren opponent.
