Khan: 139 lbs.
Peterson: 140 lbs.
Prediction: This will be the first time in years Khan has not had a reach advantage over his opponent (Peterson’s 74 to Khan’s 71 inches). Peterson will do his best work inside, but overall Khan’s hand speed edge should be what helps him get off first and win the majority of the exchanges. However, expect Peterson to have some good moments on the inside to the delight of his hometown fans. Khan by competitive by clear unanimous decision 116-112.
************************************************************************************************
Seth Mitchell: 240.5 lbs.
Timur Ibragimov: 221 lbs.
Prediction: Good fight for Mitchell at this stage of his career. Ibragimov is experienced, but is 36 years old and has been out of the ring for a full year after losing to Jean Marc Mormeck. If he had problems with Mormeck’s pressure, the much bigger and harder punching Mitchell should wear him down. Seth Mitchell by sixth round KO.
