More worrying than the Prescott defeat was the fact that he was floored and hurt by Super-Featherweight Michael Gomez. But MORE worrying than that is that he was floored and almost ko'd by feather-fisted Super-featherweight Willie Limond. Prescott seems to hit hard but Limond couldn't crack an egg. Maybe Khan was fighting at too low a weight and perhaps the move to 140 might help his punch-resistence. It remains to be seen, but I honestly think he'll fall apart if Maidana tags him cleanly with a good shot. This is huge risk for Khan and this fight will make or break him.
does that mean RJJ and lewis should be scrapped from living memory? im sick of this fraud **** just because they're not ****in jake la notta.i would love to see u call amir khan a fraud to his face
floored heavily by craig watson in the amateurs shortly before turning pro Touched down in his debut but it wasnt called was down against drilzane but it was a balance issue floored heavily by feather fisted super feather willie limmond, was down on a knee for a ten count but was told by the ref to get up, was out on his feet for the rest of the round floored and hurt by shot super feather michael gomez KOd by prescott hurt twice by a blind barrera and had to clinch. heres an article from this very site before he was ever properly floored http://www.eastsideboxing.com/news.php?p=9067&more=1
Not exaggerated. Noticed it in the Limond fight initially. May have improved with the weight gain/maturing. Plus I think he has the abilities to compensate for somewhat.
He got knocked out by a guy who had a 95% KO ratio record. He still got up though. Those shots would have KO'd most people. His chin is crap, but he still has enough of his faculties intact to try and get up. It's not like every punch that comes his way will knock him out ala Paul Williams vs Sergio Martinez.
He's got a bad chin. Maybe slightly exaggerated but we will know more when he gets caught again. He got Koed with a punch a lot of boxers would have gone down on but there have been other times he has wobbled when caught.
why does everyone say that? "those shots would have kod an elephant" well richard abrile took the exact same combination and never flinched, the punches always look more devastating when the guy crashes limp to the canvas after taking them.
havnt watched many khan fights have we? :rofl trust me he doesnt look so invincible when a grazing shot sends his legs into saturday night fever mode
He can`t take a shot,end of.He`s only got this far since the Prescott fight because of training with the number 1 world trainer.But give him his due,he`s come back really well after that devastating loss.
Exactly. I cannot wait until Maidana KOs Khan. These cocksmooch Limeys will surely be running for cover thereafter.
