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....

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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...

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.
