    Definitely. Mab held his own vs prime marquez. And even shot, you would expect him to be better than gomez, limond and prescot.

    I fully expected mab to smash khan to bits. Cuts aside khan's performance was nigh on punch perfect.

    That was the genius of the matching so to speak because when Khan was made all people were thinking was that 18 months ago this guy was sharing a ring with Marquez and Pac.. it looked a dangerous fight. People thought he could win.

    The reality was that those two bouts and that 18 months had taken an enormous toll, any promoter or trainer who saw the Ventura fight would have seen a golden opportunity for any up and coming lightweight, because the fact he was so shot wasn't really publicy known. You could see this through the amount of people who were backing MAB to beat him, the amount of money being put on MAB which resulted in the odds being almost even

    Well rightly or wrongly it captured the imagination.

    Khan vs mccloskey doesn't :-(

    I don't even think Bradley vs Khan will make much of a stir over here either.

    After Bradley, assuming he loses, there might be some high profile fights with some of the up and coming British boxers in a couple of years or so

    Sky's promotional team will sort that out i'm sure.

    They might even do a good enough job to make this fight seem interesting but as it stands I don't see it.

    Cos Khan's lot couldn't run a **** up in a brewery they needed an established promoter to work with for the show as GBP wasn't fully involved i think.

    Maloney wanted in on it but they chose Hatton.

    Officially they are co-promoting with Golden Boy and Khan, which means that they are promoting.

    Thank **** they didn't choose Maloney it would have ended up at the Barnsley Metrodome with an undercard consisting of David Price versus 300lb+ mammoth, McDonnell versus the tough Swiss Champion and Tony Jeffries taking on the always dangerous TBA.

    Still no big promotion yet. Pretty sure I won't be going.
