That city's Brown Ale tastes like urine.

I'm rooting for Salita on this one without any doubt.
I saw his documentary and really loved his spirit.
I'm not saying he'll win this bout, but he has my support.

[BetterCallSaul]

Come on Khan!!!

And damn it. I don't live in Newcastle no more.

[TheAuthority]

I'm thinking of it too. How much would it cost to travel a day or two from London you think?

Went to Newcastle last weekend. It is an awesome night out. We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express. It only cost £60 for the room and there were beds for four of us. We booked on 'laterooms.com' (something like that anyways). Oh ... it cost £5.50 for parking in the multi story car park.

Hopefully Khan is aggressive cause Salita can stink up the place with his boring boxing style

KHAN TAKES ON SALITA IN NEWCASTLE FOR FIRST DEFENCE

Amir Khan will make the first defence of his world title against Dmitriy Salita at the Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle on Saturday 5th December promoter Frank Warren confirmed today.
[details]

I hope Salita schools Khan. Dmitryi is one of my favourite fighters.

[P4P Opinion]

Finally a fight I can easily get to. Not that it's the most exciting fight ever, but it should still be decent. At least Salita is undefeated and the number one contender (with the WBA) as opposed to many of the other defences Warren arranges for his fighters.

Anyone know when tickets go on sale and from where?

Salita is tailor made for Khan
