IS KHAN IN TROUBLE SATURDAY?

Anybody know who is reffing this fight!?

I picked Khan to win on points, but I can easily envision St. Clair trailing on points taking another flurry from khan and the contest is stopped....

Ian John-Lewis is scheduled to referee this one.

A certain person was claiming Khan will be fighting a "dwarf" but according to weigh in pic there isn't significant difference in height

Its reach that matters. Khan will bash him up in three rounds.

I was going to say something about Khan but the forum's stepped in...

Khan looks significantly taller to me.

Of the 2 of them I know who I'd rather be...

St Clair is a stooping kind of fighter as well, which will accntuate it.

ITV ads said St Clair never KNOCKED DOWN in his career... is this accurate?

I`m cringing already at how the commentators will big-up that he`d gone the distance with Corrales and Harris..

And procede to give the typical `Khan Fan` descriptions of the greatness of Corrales

.. and Harris

And forget to remind the viewer those results were the best part of 10yrs ago .. and 26 fights ago

I`ve only watched St.Clairs fight with Corrales - and he looked on that showing good enough to push Khan all the way - and possibly dangerous enough with his looping right hand to stop Khan ... though as said that was almost a decade and a career full of fights since.

Khan shut out pts winner.

MightyWarrior · Post by **MightyWarrior** » 02 Feb 2008, 13:02

Well I hope St Clair has come to win, and at least gives Khan a good learning fight, before Amir wins in style.

Apparently he hurt Vivian Harris a few years back, so you could assume he hits harder with that overhand right than Limond then....or maybe that weight and height advantage is going to prove far too much.
I get the feeling Amir might blast him out by half way, but if StClair proves as durable as ever, then that right hand might make things very interesting.

Grilling Machine · Post by **Grilling Machine** » 02 Feb 2008, 16:17

Durability is decided by the ref in Khan fights. I'm just hoping St. Clair won't give away any visual signs to allow the stoppage.

Bard of Boxrec · Post by **Bard of Boxrec** » 02 Feb 2008, 18:44

god this coverage is sickening already

Cannibal · Post by **Cannibal** » 02 Feb 2008, 18:59

St. Clair is defo looking to take this intot he late rounds with those body shots he's slipping in. He may just test Khan's durability.

lvlarc · Post by **lvlarc** » 02 Feb 2008, 19:07

Yea, St Clair landing mostly body punches whereas Khan seems to be picking his shots after the jab, breaking down the former champ.

nickd · Post by **nickd** » 02 Feb 2008, 19:07

Total bollocks from Rosenthal and McGuigan beforehand, Khan is much the bigger man in there height and weight.

lvlarc · Post by **lvlarc** » 02 Feb 2008, 19:12

The commentary is always bollocks at ITV though isn't it. Looks like this is gonna go the distance, should answer some questions on Khan's stamina...

damn st claire is a tough cookie.

nickd · Post by **nickd** » 02 Feb 2008, 19:22

Jesus St Clair might take the light rigging down with one of them right hands.

It's a shame he doesn't have much power.
