Another highlight reel KO loss for Amir Khan What I dont understand is why wont he just fight Brook for the big money?
Khan at his very best would lose in a competitive fight. This version of Khan has one or two rounds of 'pah, pah, pah-pah' success before being folded like a bank note...
Because he can handle losing to Crawford, he couldn't deal with losing to Brook. By leaving their potential fight so long, it's going to be career-defining for both. Had they fought three years ago, there would have been time for the loser to make amends. I guess Brook is just more confident of winning.
Crawford will win because timing beats speed. Even if Khan troubles him a bit early, Crawford will figure him out and land the big one. It's not a great fight, but it's another name for Crawford to build him up for an inevitable clash with one of the top guys at welter. Should he and Spence win their respective fights we will hopefully get what we really want: Crawford vs. Spence.
Funny thing is, after watching Brook's last fight, I'd give Khan a better shot of winning than at anytime in the past five or six years. Kell looked awful. His timing was all over the show and timing is Khan's kryptonite...
Agreed. I think he remembers what Mayweather did to him and Khan thinks it makes him look like star to do the same to Brook...
Khan is going to turn into a vegetable if he keeps getting KO'd which he WILL in this fight How many times has he hit the deck now 15-16 times? Must be a record for a ranked fighter
Maybe Im missing something but in the kittle Ive seen od Crawford I cannot see him as a " Cold Eyed Assassin: as PimpC labeled him prior to the Benevidez fight
