Why the support for ***in?

Because people hate Khan, and always have hated Khan because they see him as a road raged maniac whose cocky blah blah blah.

I don't get why Khan gets called a China chinned joke whilst he someone like Enzo who got stached by a bum early on his career and fights jokes non-stop for his useless WBO belt gets support.

Lets face it some people just don't wanna see Khan succeed. I like him personally doesn't bother me if he's got a weak chin, he's good fun to watch, he's never in a boring fight and has great offensive skills. Hey and good heart too, boxing is about Knockouts and with Khan you know someone is usually gonna get KO'd or outclassed or in a good scrap or you get to see Khan KO'd it's all good.

 

lets face it ***an is gonna get beat up badly - this is a joke fight by all means - im no khan fan but i know how frank warren works - i cant see ***an lasting 3 rounds - khan will come out with a big win & warren & the ppv team will have their champagne glasses in the air .

 

a lot of people on here find him arrogant and whenyou think someone is arrogant its automatic hate, thats just the way it goes
come on oisin man

 

ye i would love ***an to win - has jeff thomas gave his prediction on this??

 

why not the support for ***in,why cant we back him ?

 

One of ***ans standout wins was against Andrew Hartley, the destroyer of Chalie Zelenoff...that is the level that ***an seems to be operating at. Joke fight.

 

I think khan will have too much for him and I don't think he's got the power to get khan out of their, I know how khans approaching the fight, and tactic wise he's spot on, ***an is a tough and proud chap though and will to himself proud. I expect a khan stoppage but hope for a ***an victory.

 

inferno used to be an ok poster now he has joined the rest of the troll numbskulls just trying to **** people off.

 

:huh

Maybe to Joe Public, but not to real boxing fans; why don't you toddle off back to Old Trafford and eat your prawn sandwiches.

As to the boxer himself, well Khan is generally disliked because he is an arrogant **** who has a propensity to talk absolute nonsense. Ally this with the fact that Warren and the TV boys have hyped him off the planet and you have your reason why not many are fond of him.

Fighter hyping himself + Promoter & TV hyping fighter = fighter that knowledgeable fans generally dislike.

Real fight fans don't like being ****ed about by the scum that run the business, and don't like being fed **** that they know isn't true.

I would still back him to beat ***an easily enough, but that doesn't mean that I want him to win.

 

I really dont mind who wins its an interesting fight on some levels. For Khan its almost a case of if he wins and shows some level of improvement it doesnt matter if he goes the distance if he KO's ***an early making the same mistakes its time to worry..

I think Khans over hyping has turned people off him. IF he had still bin on ITV saying i want to be the best in a few years etc. then no one would have a problem with it. But this silly deal with sky (has no one learned from audley getting mega bucks for nowt) has put his and the viewing publics expectations thru the roof and its back fired. Saying i want Pac, Hatton in a year is a joke he wont be ready for either for years yet. De Gale could go the same way very easyily

 

I like ***an. He seems a decent guy and a good fighter in the long line of tough Irish blokes.

Khan is a ****.

 

How did your fight with ***an go Jeff?

Do you think he has anything that can Khan particular trouble?

Hope the training is going well :good

 

quality comedy timing

 

He was very fit but didn't punch too hard. I don't see how he can win unless he can drag Khan into a brawl and even then theres little to suggest Khan is going to struggle due to fitness. I'm not slagging him, he's a great chap and he's proved me wrong before pushing Spadafora very close. :good

I know for a FACT the changes Khan has made. There unimpressive to say the least and these 'refinements' are miniscule in comparison to what Hatton achieved last week and whats required for Khan to ever be a force at world class. Fighters with questionable punch resistance box like Tito Trinidad, Miguel Cotto, Jamie Moore, Winky Wright, Ike Quartey, Mike Brodie (not saying these chaps are chinny- obviously but they adopt a nice tight, tidy guard) Khan has not improved his guard. He hasn't developed his in fighting and he remains devil at long range, vulnerable at middle distance and inept on the inside. His hands are not protecting his chin or his head when he throws and the Khan defence is 'entirely' about movement and jusgement of distance, depth perception- something that goes to pieces when your shaken. A lot has been made of the 22 rounds of sparring with Pacman. The nothing at all has been mentioned about his MASOOF headguard- has no-one noticed the size of the customised item that adourns his head? It looks like he's boxing with a Daewoo Matiz on his shoulders. I think Khan has immense potential, even with the problems that still seem to be glaringly unrectified. The whole build up to this fight has been about improving and repairing Khans psyche (sparring with Pacman, attempting to blow out Gomez so the back patters could say 'look how much you've improved') but thats not what Khan needs, he needs the Oliver Harrison back to basics, learn to infight, get the guard high approach that saw him impress early in his career.

I've not heard much from Oisin in his preperation for this. He rightly has locked himself away from any media destraction and I'll be interested to know what they have worked on and what strategy they have. Its safe to say that ***an is capable of landing the same shots that Limmond and Gomez managed, they weren't even clean and appeared to land high on his skull. He certainly seems to be susceptable to shots to this area. The Watson punch that floored him landed high too.

Boxing isn't magic its about A-Offence and B- Defence and the effectiveness at which you can excersise yourself in these 'stances'. Until Khan improves his defence and in fighting offence he remains vulnerable and unlikely to figure beyond a lucky belt wearer. ***an may land the shots to get khan in trouble but the chances are Khans intelligence of movement and phenominal speed will be a little too much for the Irish champion but after the shocker last time who knows.

Safest bet seems a Khan stoppage.
