Khan vs Salita, Early Negotiations Initiated

[S.G.]

incredibly boring fight. they better put together one hell of an undercard if they're gonna try and flog this on box office

and the 3 olympians vs. some local window cleaners does not constitute a good undercard

Undefeated junior welterweight contender Dmitriy Salita is on the verge of the biggest fight of his career. The mandatory challenger to WBA champion Amir Khan, Salita is poised to get a shot at the title. Salita believes that a victory over Khan is a lock. Salita was the mandatory to Andreas Kotelnik. A few weeks ago Kotelnik was decisioned by Khan. Now the WBA has ordered Khan to face Salita. [details]

this fight is ok for khan's young age and career to develop him more as a pro fighter, but I hope he isn't fighting guys like this 4-5 years down the line.

i actually shelled out for it

i enjoyed the Hall v Small fight (big Small fan) but the rest of it nearly sent me to sleep, though the Olympians vaguely piqued my interest (they're starting to look more polished and less nervy, but are being moved at a snail's pace - terrible for their careers)

missed the main event on the ITV4 card for it too, which was apparently better than any fight on the box office card

i refuse to purchase a card with the main event involving bloody Dmitriy Salita though

People need to stop blaming Warren and look at Roach.

Yeah the Cleverly vs McCintosh was an excellent fight, a right dust up.

ppl saying stuff like Khan shouldnt have to fight big punchers because he is building his career should rember he is now the World champion and a a world champion should have no fear of facing any opponent regardless of how hard he punches, the title is for the best fighter and if you aint the best you have no right holding that title, if this maidana is the Mandatory which im sure he was as he had an eliminator for a shot then Khan should fight him, funny how all of sudden Salita is the mandatory, Warrens grip over this organisation is disturbing.

No, Salita was Kotelnik's mandatory before Khan fought Kotelnik. But the WBA muddied the waters by saying the Ortiz-Madaina fight was for an interim belt, whatever that means. People misinterpreted that as meaning that the winner would be a mandatory for the full belt, but that was never the case. And Warren has influence over the WBO, but the belt Khan holds is the WBA belt, not the WBO belt. You're seeing conspiracies when the facts don't support them. What this does show though is what a bunch of incompetents the WBA has become in recent years.

the small fight to a while to warm up, i think both of them didnt want to be ko'd early by the other one and so didnt open up much at first, and then small came on strong..... cleverly mcintosh was a better fight though.................. the only fight on the ppv i was interested in was the frankie gavin one because he was fighting someone from very near where i live and works with some1 i know so was cheering him on but he got ko'd in two, he didnt look that hurt though
