i think this is an interesting fight and one that might have come a little too soon for khan. the way he was dropped by limond was quite concerning and it wasn;t the only time he's been hurt in his career. i think limond has something like 9 stoppages in about 25 fights which isn't particularly special.... i think khan is a little over-hyped and whilst i wish him all the best, if i had to pick a winner im going with earl but mid/late round koComment

I don't think the Limond fight will have anything to do with this one, Khan only got knocked down because he was boxing quite immaturely, Khan would have had a lot of training on his defensive technique for this.
I still think Earl will win, just think he has too much for KhanComment

and of course if khan wins everyone will just say earl is shot.You expect him to withstand more than 6 rounds with Earl?
Earl on the other hand has a granite chin. 4 times he was floored in his last fight against Katsidis, and he still climbed off the floor to KD Katsidis, and Katsidis is made from stone.
This one isnt even close, I see no way back for Khan after what will be a devastating KO loss.
and how many times do you think earl will manage to catch khan clean with his slow stubby little arms?Comment

It would appear Frank Warren has pulled the wool over peoples eyes with this next opponent.
1.] Anyone Graham Earl has beaten, Amir Khan would beat with ease. Other than Michael Katsidis, Earl has fought a bunch of pukka pies.
2.] Earl looked past his best in the Michael Katsidis fight. Anything he did have left was probably taken out of him in that fight.
Sports Network have done a good job of matching Khan up with an opponent who looks good on paper, but even in his prime was no more than average European level. Khan on the otherhand is a little bit better than that.
I would have liked to have seen him fighting Jonathan Thaxton but Warren won't be interested in that until he is sure that Thaxton is shot and there is little chance of his prized arab getting taught a lesson.
I await in suspense for the day they put Amir in with someone who will fight back.Comment
