Khan V Gethin

Who wins this one, its a right pick 'em for me .... nah, in all seriousness, do you think Gethin will come to survive or go for it? Will Khan stop a man who has been stopped before by the much smaller foster Jnr or go in to box his way to a pts descision?

Incidentally will anyone be posting weigh in pics of Harrison, Hussain, Khan, etc ...

I like the way that this fight is such a foregone conclusion, that nobody even considers Gethin winning?

What channel is this on I can't see it advertised ?

If it is ITV 4 what channel is that - I can't receive it on 120.

Gethin, like the other two, hasn't got a hope in hell of even winning one minute of any of the rounds. He's going to be outweighed badly despite what the official weights are. I saw Gethin lose to Billy Corcoran and he took his licks admirably. He's competent at 6 round level against men his own weight but this match is a bit cynical.

The only way I can see this match not being too bad is if Khan slows the pace right down and takes the sting out of his punches if that's what he instructed to do. Depends if his corner are sending him out to look sensational or to hang about and learn a few tricks and practice move. The choice is entirely his.

I'm interested in whether he'll last the four rounds. I've never seen him, but have heard he's apparently a slow starter. Could this be over very soon tonight?

The BBB of C should be disgusted with themselves for letting such a match procede.

There is absolutely no chance of Gethin winning, it will be a minor miracle if he does as well as Baz Carey did...if you can call that doing well...lambs to the slaughter...boxing is dangerous enough without these type of match-ups :(

Bit like Chelsea or Man U playing a Sunday League team, there can only be one winner -We know Khan needs a few fights that will gain him experiance before he is really tested but what will he come away with here apart from another win - Crazy match up.

Don't all prospect have matches like this??? Khan's younger than most, why should he be different???

Just look to John Murrays record if you want to see how it should be done, first fight Peter Buckley who`d had over 200 fights at that point, there was little chance of Peter winning but it was a good work out for a fighter making his debut and Peter would have shown him a trick or two also, within his first 5 fights Murray had faced men who had had 300 fights between them, and even though he was expected to beat them they were still his weight or above.

Ricky Burns, his first 5 opponents had had over a hundred fights and he faced and beat the reigning lightweight champion of britain in his 10th fight.

There

, two fighters being brought up in what I would call a good way.
Ricky Burns took a very big risk against Earl but it showed ambition..and guts.

What does it show when you only face fighters two weights below your own and call out other fighters who campaign below yours also

I think Khan hits hard. I think Khan hits accurately. I think Khan is fast. I think he has a weight advantage.

I think he'll win in the first.
