Khan vs. Kristjansen prediction and pics

[BattlingNelson]

khan is listed at 5'10 and Kristjansen at 5'7 and krist looks a good 1 inch taller than khan. what is up with that?

Kristjansen was surprised as well having expected that Khan was much taller. In fact Khan is only an inch taller than Kristjansen (acoording to him and Martin is 1m72 (5,7).

hater. khan is only 16 fights into his career. who cares who he is fighting? katsidis couldn't ko graham, khan did it in about 30 seconds. overrated? I think not.

So everyone who does not rate a fighter is a hater, i don`t hate kahn but it does annoy me that he is making all that money buy avoiding anyone with a punch, the guy has a glass jaw and will not become a world class fighter.

This is not Kahn.s worst fight. Kristjansen is an experienced skilled fighter, who is in his shape of his life. He is a not a journeyman, bot a real professional fighter. Skill wise and with a lot of heart who wants to fight his chance. Give him and Kahn credit for that - a real boxing match. Win or loose.

he is far from avoiding anyone. he has fought way better opponents than he has needed to so far in his career. last year he faced about 7 fighters and neither fighter had any more than 4 losses. graham was like 27-2 when khan fought him. how many fighters fight that kind of competition that early in their careers? he has already called out some of the top fighters in his division and even hatton. if any of those guys want to fight khan he will signup right away. kristjansen is a fight he needs to move up the wbo rankings and he will probably be the #1 contender for campbell's wbo belt after tonight's win.

Compare Khan to a similar olympic talent Oscar De La Hoya. DLH won his first world title with 1½ years of pro experience against Jimmi Bredahl. It was Oscars 12. fight. Khan is 3 years into his professional career and has had 16 fights and does not appear certain to win a world titlefight next.

Do not criticise poor Amir.

You will soon be accused of being a racist or a **** or some ****.

Yeah but Oscar De La Hoya is a special fighter. He is a top, top fighter. Khan is just a prospect, If can became half as good as De La Hoya that would still be good.

Saturday there will be an official WBO eliminator between Amir Khan and Martin Kristjansen in Khans hometown of Bolton, England.

Khan is the great hope of british boxing having won an olympic silver medal. while Kristjansen of Denmark is a lightpunching, durable fighter who has gone 12 rounds 3 times already.

The fight will be televised by TV2-sport (denmark) and ITV (I believe).

Do you guys think Khan will blow Kristjansen away thereby securing a titleshot?

khan better be able to blow this cab driver away.
warren lines a tuffer guy up against khans lesser stablemate and puts khan in a showcase bout against kristi. it should be the opposite!
khan still getting a free ride.
