Another tiny ex 130lb fighter against a guy who is scared to campaign at his proper weight. If St Clair can negotiate the opening round I give him an evens chance. After all, what Willy Limond could do......
On paper, St Clair looks to have a pretty decent chance, but then you wonder why Warren would break with tradition and put Khan in with any kind of live opponent and I suddenly become suspicious... Still, I'm starting to warm to Khan, despite the IRRITATING hype surrounding the kid, and I fancy him to do what no-one else has and stop him man in and around the 8th.
This goes someway to explaining why Warren is sticking Khan in with him. Mind you, Harris circa 2000 wasn't exactly an AWFUL fighter, to be fair to him...
St Clair was an average, domestic level fighter at his very peak. That was a few years ago now and at this point he's very little more than cannon fodder for any fighter above that level. It's arguable if this is even a step up over Earl.
Thats the first time I saw st clair, was this guy supposed to be a challenge...?? He looked tiny compared to Kahn, that fight was a joke.
ITV Still think of the world in the British Empire sense. So World Class is GB, NI, and thats it. Oh, and the Fawklands.
It was the first time I saw him too, and whilst I hesitate to use this term to describe any fighter, I though St Clair fought like a coward. He barely threw a punch throughout the fight.
Thats harsh, he followed Khan around plenty, but he had the reach disadvantage plus everytime he set himself to throw, he couldn't pull the trigger...he still had way too much success with those signposted right hands ...he is/was shot however, warren did his homework
As I said, I hesitate to use a term like that, and I'm not saying that he IS a coward, but rather that he fought like one, IMO. After 6 rounds, he had a choice- he could either continue to fight as he was a lose a wide decision, or he could throw caution to the wind and try to open the fight up and have a go. He chose the former. I agree with everything else, though.
