I hope Salita isn't embarressed, he seems like a nice guy and its a great story. However, I cannot see what he brings to really win. He might catch an over confident Khan lucky - but thats a big doubt.

I thought he conducted himself very well in the press conference, and I was a tad dissapointed with Roach getting a little personal about his abilities and the abilities of his stablemates.

When Salita's former (I believe) manager came to negotated a deal for Salita to fight Mbaye (when Mbaye was controled by Warren) - he told me that in his heart of hearts he thought Mbaye would be too good.... and this was after his shaky performance vs Baulbi.

All things considered, this might be the first time I bet on Khan, and by KO.

Salita has been put down by a guy with 4 KO's from 37 fights in the first round. And twice in the first round by a guy with 2 KO's in 27 fights.

Khan starts landing the jab, it'll only take a couple of over hand rights to wobble this guy. If he gets wobbled, Khan will be on him like a rash and the ref will be only to happy to jump in and end the fight.

Khan was put down and should have been stopped against Willie Limond.

Khan's crystal glass chin means anyone he fights will have a chance.

ive put £25 on khan to win in the first rounds @ 6/1

then with a free bet from paddypower put that on khan to wn by KO1 in the first @ 20/1

What time is the fight due to start ?

Khan inside 4 Rounds.

Ive had a Prescott and Salita £100 win double. Prescott 4/5, Salita 4/1. Speculative, but worth it for a bit of a punt.

Khan looks to be the most likely winner because he has the speed advantage. That said Salita does have a good KO punch so he cant be written off altogether. I dont think Salita is going to try for a points victory, I am sure he knows he couldnt do it. I believe he intends to target Khans chin and hopes to land the big one to take him out. Its his only chance of getting the upset so Khan needs to be very careful and not rush in as he did with Prescott. Khan has learned a lot under Roach so I expect him to prevail and not make any silly mistakes.

Ive put about £60 on Khan, £20 on rounds 123 the rest straight ups on rounds 1234, if he wins in 2 or 3 i'll be a happy bunny!

Anyone know start time for Mitchell/Prescott? Then Khan on after I guess??

Thanks, wondering if it might 11 for the Khan fight, and 10 for Mitchell, better get there for 9 I guess...

from the arena website this week mate my understanding in Mitchell around 9pm and Khan Salita around 10-10.15

Great, thanks

seems to be an early start for a boxoffice..8pm...its usually 9

the show commenced about 5.45 to put it into sum perspective.

Khan in 3-4 looks a likely one, he should do this guy early, looks another level and I think he'll realise that early on & step it up.
Could be underestimating the new yorker, but he's been down a few times, and well protected. Khan will be too fast on the draw - bang bang goodnight.

Had £10 at 23/1 in the first round on betfair. Nice bit of money for Christmas .

Well done to the guys who saw this coming, great research from exxodus aswell!

Hope you enjoy the money chaps, I won a bit on Mitchell but didnt touch the Khan fight, have always been too scared to bet on him with those whiskers....

Well done to 'the goods' tonight also, two good winners, I certainly got the Mitchell fight wrong, glad I left it alone now as I was going double up my Khan bet with a Prescott win.

I got a cheeky £200 return, if he had last 1 more round it would have been a fair bit more, new he was a hype job.

I got £140, pleased with that.

Flippineck sweetscience, you cleaned up mate

Well done sweetscience! Didn't have the balls for round betting, just lumped on Khan by ko at 4/5.
