Diego Alejandro Madole has been announced as the next opponent for Amir Khan, Not to sure if this is much of an improvment, Madole was stopped a couple of fights ago, but he has fought for the Argentine Lightweight title, and has fought all his career at that weight. At least it will give Khan some international experience

Madole is not a bad boxer but he is a small lightweight, has no punch, and won't be able to stand Khans punches. Khan in one or two rounds.

Interesting recurring theme, Khan opponents with zero power.
Thats seven in a row now.
Prepare for the latest wave of press coverage "awesome khan destroys opponent" from guys who havent covered boxing since ali.

I always thought Frank wouldn't test him for his first 10 fights. But he should atleast be fighting experienced journeymen who can teach him something, and not these unknown kids from Russia, Mexico etc. I don't really mind this for his first 10 fights, but if he gets to 15-0 without having been tested it will be a big let down for me.

Why are guys like Pete Buckley gettin theo job or someone who can cover up & fire a few lively shots back?
This is the way it goes these days prospects arent developed at all their just padded & protected til their 20-0 and get banged out by some stiff.
Khans not learning shit against these jokers i fancy my own chances against Dave Bailey and that russian fella the other month & i only get to train part time.

The publics imagination needs to be captured and it wont be if he struggles against better fighters. Is this a slight step up? He fought for the Argie title

The lad he beat in his last fight has been in with some decent fighters including Souleymane M'baye. There is a chance that he could be a pretty decent boxer, unfortunetely for him he'll be out of there when Khan lands a few good shots.

thats positive also the opponent will get an extra couple of weeks to preper for Kahn which can only be a good thing competitively. I still think the opponents shit by the way.
