Key bouts - Fall 2012

Amir Khan vs Carlos Molina (15/12/12)

After some dubious media outbursts claiming 2 losses via TKO signals the end of a career Khan is back. Virgil Hunter steps in as Khan's trainer and is able to dedicate more time than Freddie Roach was, who's fighters have been having a torrid year. Virgil is well known for being the current trainer of Super 8 and World Champion Andre Ward. Can Virgil make Khan more disciplined in the ring and execute a game plan without swaying? Yes. Going back to Garcia, simple answer is he swayed from the plan in a fight he was simply outclassing Danny Garcia. Fact is Khan is still able to dominate and be completely brilliant in the ring. Claims he's got no chin are ridiculous. We knew Garcia had a punch in him before the fight and Garcia's latest fight proves just this. Khan took a cracking counter and still made it up and had he not been stupid in the following round he could have regained control. Make or break time, if Khan can emulate the style of Andre Ward then we are looking at a masterclass of boxing. If not then it's the end of a race to #1.

Winner - Khan (TKO)

Ricky Hatton vs Viacheslav Senchenko (Tonight)

Ricky Hatton makes his comeback against a standard opponent. Yes a former World champion in Senchenko but a World Champion who had faced noone with any credibility and then lost in his first major fight against a fighter previously put down by Hatton, Paulie Malignaggi.

Winner: Ricky Hatton (Stunning TKO return in the early rounds)

Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Manuel Marquez (08/12/12)

Long gone are the days of hype over a Pacman/Mayweather showdown. Simply put is Floyd Mayweather would take Manny Pacquiao apart in his current form and I'd go as far as saying Floyd would have beaten him at his prime too. Mayweather is just something else. So then, yet another bout between Marquez and Pacman, the fourth infact. Many claim Pacman controversially won the previous encounter but I don't know and with the judges we've seen over the previous year it's clear this could go anyway.

Winner: Either (Points)
