Once again they show ultra caution..light punching lightweight.

I`m getting more concerned about Khans chin the more they protect him.

Someone on Warriorboxing.com has said he is matched with Ryan Barrett

anyone got any further confirmation

the source on Warrior does no Ryan personally so it seems to have some substance

Amir Khan will fight Argentina's Diego Alejandro Madole at the Braehead Arena in Glasgow on Saturday 25 March.

The Bolton fighter is unbeaten in six professional fights and will appear on the undercard of Danny Williams' Commonwealth heavyweight title defence.

Madole, 25, has won 11 of his 16 fights, with three knockouts, but has not fought outside of his home country.

"I know he'll have a go because South American fighters are really hard and he will not be intimidated," said Khan.

"I'm hoping that he will give me a few rounds and give me a test, but I'm confident I can get another win to send all my Scottish fans home happy."

Madole, who has fought for the Argentine title, will be the 19-year-old Khan's first ever South American opponent.

...............................................

In the picture on Madole's encyclopedia page he looks more like a Featherweight than a Lightweight.

Whys his head disproportionate to his body

Saw a cllp - he was hurt (though he recovered well) - his legs did a funny dance.

He will get chinned by the first decent fighter with a punch he faces.

I think his career will be like Errol Christie's.

The guy's been stopped twice by relatively light-hitting lightweights.

I know slowly slowly and all that but unsure what he'll learn from this. South American, different style, rah rah, but he's still a lightweihgt, he doesn't punch and he appears to have a dodgy chin.

How is Khan 5ft 10?

Look at the size of him to Calzaghe!

He could prove me wrong on the night, but with 2 2nd and 3rd round stoppage losses on his records to average boxers with average ko rates, I think we'll see another early night.

He has to get some better fights in. I know he has got time but if he builds a proffesional record on this sort of stuff then he will get complasant if nothing else. He should have stayed ametre there is no one who could argue that what he has done up to this point is better than what he would have been doing in a vest in terms of development.

These sort of fights are a waste of time, Khan needs experience granted but how much experience does he get walking through these smaller guys with nothing coming back? I agree with josh he should have stayed amateur and turned over at 20.

I'm going to go out on a limb and join you in that prediction.
