Really? I thought he did defend Dirrell? Anyway, I hope whatever problems he has with Bradley, continue for as long as possible. I know most people here are gutted at the prospect of the fight not happening next, but I'm cool with it. The longer it brews, the better it'll be for Khan.
He definetly defended him over it and on fight camp 360 if any of the other promoters mentioned it he had a hissy fit and threatened not to continue with any negotiations. Watch the fight camp 360 episode after it happened.
He was pissed off with Dirrell alright. I believe only another defeat will improve Khan and I'm praying it isn't Timothy who is the one to dish it out to him. I don't see him getting any better fighting opponents like Peterson or McCloskey and sticking with his current management is going to take its toll on him shortly.
It's funny because the Fightcamp 360 you speak off, I took from it that Shaw didn't want to discuss it because he was not going to defend Dirrell! He knew he was skating on thin ice which is very unlike Shaw who usually spouts shite to keep in practice
By the sounds of the latest news it's nothing to do with money. What I cannot fathom is why Bradley did not think ahead of time and realise the situation that was coming up.
And there are those that think this is a big fight lol. Nobody gives a Damn about Bradley in the US or UK. I can see why sky wouldn't be all over this fight.
if you go back and read my post next time you might realise the little hint of sarcasm in the post, its obvious whats going on here, khan is not at fault for once,doesnt change the fact that he is a ****
Very true, give him some credit he wants to fight the best and he is still winning, maybe there is another reason brits don't like him, I wonder what that could be ? Mcguigan fought nobody after he won the world title and lost after a few defences to Cruz an underdog who never did anythiing after, but Mcguigan was considered a super star and inducted into the Hall of fame, Naseem Hamed defended the world championship for 5 years and beat a lot of world champions and they would not even consider him for the British hall of fame, Maybe Khan and Hamed have something in Common for the rejections ? I wonder what it could be ?
I actually think the opposite. Khan isn't gonna improve that much from where his skillset is now IMO and the longer he stays at light welter the more chance he'll struggle to make the weight.
Beating ATG Pedroza is a bit more impressive than beating Kotelnik :deal What they have in common are dangerous motor offences.
He know's Bradley is obviously going to leave so is making it unpleasant, this is the man who put Corrales in with a much bigger Clottey who was a stylistic nemisis because he knew it would be Corrales last fight with him :-(
