    Not really adding too much to the already obvious TBH.

    Yeah I agree.

    Maloney makes a good point about there not being a single boxing person in his team.

    Asif Vali is just an idiot, and all the family are bothered about is maximising profits. Saj is alright because he's living the dream.

    Being paid to sit on Facebook and Twitter all day and not have to move a muscle in anger, and then get free travel around the world to be with his famous buddy!

    Interesting to see his thoughts, he's a promoter now and nice to see his views on Khan's move to fight there and who won. Maloney rightly adds about the neutral judges. Suicidal move by Khan's team there. As you say nothing out standing but not a bad read could of said he was robbed, cheated etc.

    The problem is more than just his decision to fight in Peterson's backyard.

    Khan and Roach need to sit down together, watch the tape and examine what went wrong in the ring. Never before has his one-dimensional style been that apparent. He was shocking at times.

    I don't agree that Amir doesn't have miles on clock, he's had a extremely hard career which is still in it's infancy at world level.

    I think Amir may need to question Roach in corner IMO. I was struggling to understand what he was saying at times. My father said to me 'it may be time for Freddie to pack it in, he don't sound in a good way at all'. Have to agree i could only make out a few words.

    maybe, but fighting in Peterson's hometown as we all know, hometown fighter gets decision.

    Khan = Confidence and shows the willingness to want to fight the best even in their backyard, hindsight is wonderful.

    More boxers need to take a leaf out of Khans book and start manning up to the big fights.

    I always read those stories about the entourages and the hangers on and think they are disgusting people who are leeching off those who they purport to support.....



    .....but **** me I would love to be one of them

    The hometown issue is one thing, he'd have been well paid for that but not insisting on neutral officials as champion is amateurish.

    I sense they thought he'd win it, piece of **** job and think Khan wanted to beat Peterson in style to prove a point to Bradley and jump to 147 sticking middle finger up to him. Backfired badly and i get impression way Peterson's lot are talking they may well opt for elsewhere for first defence..

    A lot of people have said this :think. I didn't notice anything at the time, so maybe I need to go back and check. It may appear worse to us on TV because we can't hear properly, but the fighters themselves - who work with him daily - probably understand him fine, even if he does stutter/speak slow with his words. I don't know. It could be a cause for concern, though. A real shame if it is true (as expected as it may be).

    I guess he has to rely on his team to sort him out! I see what your saying though.

    As I stated Khan and team were probably confident enough as it was and it backfired.

    Yeah i only noticed last night mate, As you say you get used to someone when your with them on a day to day basis. Just wonder if it's effecting his cornerwork.
