khan by tko

 

[2-0-Sixx]

I voted Khan by KO (was thinking late KO) but after thinking about it for a few more minutes I think Khan by decision.

 

[heyzel]

I like Zab by a 8 rd ko I'm just not sold on khan

 

[trips]

Khan is over hyped and over paid!!!! What has he done?

 

[bigface]

This is a hard one to call. Khan's weak chin and both Judah and Khan have stamina problems late in fights. I got Khan by SD, and Khan might have to get off the canvas to do it.

 

[Johnny Truelove]

pulling for zab but i think khan is gonna take this cant wait!

 

[2-0-Sixx]

Khan is over hyped and over paid!!!! What has he done?

He's done more than anyone at 140 pounds with exception to Bradley who turned down a fight with Khan. He gets good ratings and brings the uk market. That's alot more than Devon Alexander who got $1.3 million in his last fight.

i want judah 2 win but i think khan gon pull it off by decision

 

[bgrumpyp]

i have to go wit freedy roach

I didn't know Roach was the one jumping in to the ring!

 

[Rumpelstiltskin]

Khan by decision.
Judah is a very live underdog in this one.
It's going to be interesting to see how Khan does when the opponent is quick as well.

I was planning on going to this fight since it's the weekend of my bday, but I changed my mind.I can't get Friday off and it's not worth taking a trip to see a big fight if you can't be a part of the weigh ins.

 

[Timm]

i feel like if its a decision they will give it to khan because he is on the rise and shit you know

Tarvis Simms pulled out of the Peter Quillin fight due to a rib injury and a late substitute Jason LeHoullier (21-5-1, 8 KOs) will take his place.

“I’m always ready to fight,” Quillin said. “Simms was a southpaw who liked to switch back and forth to orthodox while he boxes. I was prepared for him. I have no idea how his replacement fights but it doesn’t matter because I stay in the gym. Boxing is my full time job. Training hard -- whether it’s here at the Wild Card, or at the Anatomy Gym in Santa Monica where I do my conditioning work, or on a track in North Hollywood -- that’s all I do.

Gary Russell Jr., an ultra-fast southpaw and arguably America’s best featherweight prospect, is scheduled to open the HBO broadcast against Paul Truscott. Russell (16-0, 10 KOs), a 23-year-old 2008 Olympian from Capitol Heights, Md., is in the first scheduled 10-round bout of his career against Truscott (17-2, 2 KOs), a 25-year-old Englishman who’s four inches taller than Russell but at a serious disadvantage in terms of punching power.

Former junior middleweight contender James Kirkland continues his comeback from his shocking first-round TKO loss to Nobuhiro Ashida in April with a scheduled eight-round bout against Alexis Hloros. Kirkland (28-1, 25 KOs), a 27-year-old Austin native, scored a first-round KO of Dennis Sharpe last month. Hloros (15-3-2, 11 KOs) is a 32-year-old club fighter from Michigan.
