    Will he ever be the same again? Its going to be hard but i just dont know.

    Also Congrats to Prescott for representing Colombia well. Not like that shithead Edison "my nutrionist knocked me out" Miranda or Ricardo "im so wreckless" Torres. Needs to work a bit on technique better but i hope he can spice things up in the lightweight division.

    Yeah, Khan is already one foot in the professional grave. If he wasn't the most hyped prospect in the history of organized sport, and he didn't get smashed in the most sudden climactic devastation in the history of anything hyped to ever take a breath, this wouldn't all be such a big deal. Unfortunately, what you have is a scenario that involves some of the greatest imaginable extremes ever witnessed on planet Earth. Without exaggeration.

    Yeah, his confidence is ruined forever. He got Lacy'ed, but much worse.

    He was never anything to begin with, other than a protected hype job with a glass jaw, waiting to be exposed.

    Well, now he's been exposed. The FRAUD is over.:yep

    I'd say it's over for him. Warren will probably sign up Prescott and dump Khan like a hot potato.

    he learned his physical limitations, he either changes into a defensive fighter or get KO'd again.

    Oh yeah...much worse than Lacy's case. That's a horrible and brutal reality check. Not just a defeat.

    Well, think about it this way, before people were pretty sure that Khan has a glass jaw, now they know. What do you think the next decent puncher he faces is gonna try to do, now that he's seen what a jab can do to Khan's legs??

    Its just what you get for going with Warren. What were they thinking? It is a real shame.

    Want to expose a hype job? Get a Colombian fighter and he'll take care of business. Zuniga stopped KO machine Oganov and now Prescott stops Khan :deal

    I don't like hype jobs and I don't like when boxing magazines take up space writing articles on them when they can be writing articles on more proven and deserving fighters. Go away Khan and take your olympic accolades, WHICH MEAN NOTHING IN THE PROS, with you.
