Khan on bunce' boxing hour!

Cheers Andy. Poor Amir looked a wee bit nervous at times lol but I reckon that might be because he knows a lot of his critics watch the show (im admitedly one of them) but todays interview showed a bit more common sense from Amir, althought I almost pissed myself when he said the move up was partly to do with struggling to make the weight (losing the last 4 or 5 lbs if memory serves) then in the next breath said the weight was easy to make since moving to Freddy's camp lol.

Overall it will certainly encourage more of the fans from the UK to start warming to him again. I was a huge fan of Amir when he was fighting in the olympics and then all the hype just ruined it for me. As Steve says, its about making $$$$ but if that can be done aswell as entertaining the fans then thats the top formula

 

Good work Andy. I keep missing the show..but as Im off work at the mo I got to see it properly today. Damn good show too for Boxing fans. Would be nice to see Froch on in a few weeks post Taylor... whatever the result.

 

Froch, Barker, Meager in studio. Mick on the phone about six times. Thaxton and Witter on phone about three times and a dozen plugs for Fury. This has looked like the Hennessy hour at times!
I think more Hennessy fighters have been on in six months than other camps.


Adios.

 

No, just anticipating the inevitable reactionary moronic comment and you still made it. sad really.

 

That ought to tell Mick something!

He needs to actually start promoting his fighters properly.... rather than relying on the lads to promote themselves, or relying on Setanta to get the boys on the show.

Good job we have boxing hour..... otherwise we wouldn't have a clue what half the British fighters (especially Hennessy ones) were doing!

Should Froch win this weekend.... it would be good to find out his future plans. Is it the customary easy defence or some unification?

The IBF is tied up for a while, Kessler has the WBA (don't go there Frochy!) whilst the Warren title is held by a pretty weak champion, Ballsy is it?

 

I just don't understand this 'get behind "our" fighters' thing. Boxing is a sport where individuals compete their skill against one another, it's not a national sport, it's not like supporting a football team. I don't like Khan for the reasons I mentioned, to this day I don't like Hatton either, I respect him because he proved me wrong, he's better than I thought he was but I still hold the wbo days, the Rios' and Holbaek-Pederson's against him and I always will. Thats the silver-spoon treatment I mentioned and in Khan's case it's even worse. If Khan proves me wrong, I'll respect him too but he hasn't come up the right way.

 

Taking a lifetime to get home so really looking forward to seeing the show later.

If you ask that blonde bird who's always walking about in the background to bend over her desk a little more without you getting sacked for gross misconduct that would make it even better.

 

good stuff Andy, it was a brillient show today

i always wanted to know are you a genuine fan of the sweet science? or is it just a job, because in the early days it looked like you were new to it, but resently your enthusiasm, respect for fighters and knowledge has improved

when did you get into boxing and what are your favorite fights of all time?

keep up the good work

 

Getting behind our boys is not hard to understand, it happens in all sports why is boxing any different.:roll:
Amirs a very good fighter and he entertains I don't feel any urge to cling onto quotes by him but if he's on t.v i'll always watch him.
Watched him on Paul 'o Grady last night he didn't say much new but he got a warm reception, who'd have taken Lilly Savage as a fan of pugilism:good

 

I would never have thought it O'Grady's a queen.... it must be the fight loving scouse in him.

 

Seemed okay to me. Honest about easy option at the moment. Irked by him saying Murray and Thaxton have to make something happen to fight him. I agree, but the fights should have happened time ago.

 

It's a no go. Buncey has to have his suit back with the wardrobe department and Andy has to get home for his tea before his mum shouts (sorry i meant before his baby cries).

 

He didn't seem too keen on Witter's name being chucked around.

Damn! Witter would spark Khan, wait for him to lead and hit him with one, nice counter shot.

Let's say Khan beats Kotelnik (I don't think he will personally) how does everyone see Khan vs. Witter or Khan vs. Olusegun (I actually think Warren might make that fight to be honest, justify Ajose's unbeaten record and knowing either way he'll have a winner, and that it probably isn't a hard fight for Khan) would go?

I'm not sure Khan will beat Kotelnik, but how does everyone else think Khan would get on against the best of the dometic 140lbers (to be honest, not mentioning Hatton as we all know the result there)

 

He'd beat Witter and Ajose.

Witters finished, he's hoping for a big payday, he's ready to cash out.
