Good choice of opponent. Never been stopped, been in with Corrales and a better KO ratio than Khan's previous opponents.josh fg wrote:In the context of the other fight which was to have been a world title eliminator I'd say this fight was more worthy yes, I don't think its ideal but for the WBO borbal then it's better than the previouse fight.Mario wrote:I wouldn't say a 32 year old super featherweight moving up in weight, who has lost 2 of his last 3 is worthy of a world title eliminator.josh fg wrote:now that is the kind of fight that would be a resonable title eliminator in my oppinion. No complaints good fight IMHO and probably got him at the right point in his carrer.
I assume the fight on the 1st will be cancled but it does mean the fellow is in training already
Good choice from Warren though on short notice, he ticks all the right boxes. Big name, past his peak, not a big puncher, loses every time he faces someone decent. Should stretch Khan and maybe take it the distance.
Whats the story with Khan's opponent

When you look into the facts about this St Clair fella, he is just right for Khan to get another notch on his record - One thing he does have in his favour though, as far as I know he has never been stopped - If Khan cant stop him he will get 12 rounds of experiance from the fight which will be very good for him - Would have preferred Jon Thaxton, but it would be a big risk - Khan will look massive against this little guy who only just makes LW while Khan is almost a LWW - St Clair has held a title and thats the sort of fighter Khan needs for gaining experiance - You could therefore say its another step up for Khan, but it looks on paper a pretty safe fight and another win for him.
