It will be interesting to see if Khan does start sitting down on his punches more in this fight.

Against Kotelnik he relied on rapid combos, but they were mainly arm punches and didn't have the power behind them that he used to show - obviously a result of his more defensive style now he's with Roach.

Is it embarrassing for Khan if he loses to Salita? Has anyone ever seen Salita fight before? Is he any good?

[v.cassiusali@ya]

khan is young and promising. with roach around, he might be reaching places. he should capitalize his reach advantage to keep salita at bay. khan will handle salita with his speed.

So, is Salita a slow boxer or slow compared to the likes of Khans speed?

everybody is slow compared to Khans speed. Salita actually has good speed. Comparable with Malignaggi's speed.

Salita is absolutely horse ****.

I've just made a lot of money off bets. Salita has good speed, but no power. On top of that his chin is just about as bad as Khan's.

Since when did Kahn move up to 147? How is he still the 140 pound champ if he's 147? Is this fight with Salita taking place at 147?
