    Tune-up for the fight all boxing fans have been calling for, for more than a decade: Limond vs Khan II

    :sisi1 In truth, for a Burns vs. Limond all-Scots clash, which actually wouldn't be all that unwelcome, if a bit late itself.

    Was it Limond who first exposed that chin, though? Trying to think if there was someone before him?

    :thinking: I think he (like Wilder or Joshua) carried over some whispers from the amateurs even before his pro debut, but certainly from Limond onward in his pro campaign it was a going concern that was known even among casuals (so that when the dam burst against Prescott nobody was all that shocked)

    I was minded to box-rec Prescott while double-checking how long ago Limond and Khan fought and learned two things: He now has 17 losses on his record and goes by the alias of 'Khanqueror'....

    I met willie a few years back and he was really nice. Asked him if the Khan fight bothered him etc and said that long count must have cost him a fortune in fame and in a monetary sense. He said he wasn’t bothered and went on to say Khan was a lovely guy. He said the only thing that bothered him about that was he lost his belts that night (common wealth and British I think).

    Ended up having a rematch (of their 2012 six-rounder) with William Warburton. Won a UD.
