Did you say the same about Hatton at 22, that he should step it up? I'll say it again, he is only 22, he will fight the tough tough fights as time passes. This was a mandatory and he did well. Just give the guy some credit I say.
Argh i admit it i'm a drunken fool ranting Khan was impressive Mitchell won a deserved victory NOT destroying prescott ho hum peace :rasta
Just because he was unbeaten means nothing, Muhammad Ali once fought a guy who had 44 knockouts in a row. The greatest destroyed him in a couple of rounds. Records mean nothing
Not having a go, as I think JC was a top boxer. I was at the Kessler fight in Cardiff. But shouldn't he have 'stepped it up', say 10years ago? You said you made a mistake posting which is quality. In general I don't understand the british public. Khans not the greatest boxer in the world, but when you compare him at the mo to other british greats at 22, he is miles ahead. He gets too much stick, no wonder he wants to fight in states asap. So would I if I was him.
An unbeaten #1 Contender like Salita is EXACTLY the type of fighter a YOUNG Khan should be facing for a) his first defence and b) only his second fight at LWW.
Khan was impressive, no doubts there, but Salita was ranked 60 in the world and had only a handful of fights in the past few years. As a champion, Khan will have mandatories some of which will be a test, some won't. Last night wasn't a test, Salita's KO ratio is poor for an undefeated contender. Bookies here in UK had Khan 1/8 for the win! Khan is starting to win me over, he is a much improved boxer under Roach but until we see him share the same ring as a genuine top 10 light welter i'm not believing all the hype. Shame the Barrera fight had that clash of heads in the first, that would have supplied the test we all want to see. That ought to have been a NC but that's another thread....
what a wanker you are?? you know nothing about boxing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS A MANDATORY! DO YOU KNW WHAT THAT IS?? IT IS WHEN HE IS FORCED! YES FORCED TO FIGHT THE NUMBER 1 CONTENDER
holding?????????? Whne did mitchell hold??? Fair enough he used his feet alot and "ran" as you say in the first 4 rounds. But then planted his feet and schooled prescott go suk dick you prik
