willie limonds bro here...

the ref wasnt biased. he done a good job. khan won, limond lost, limond had his chance...he blew it. Great fight tho.

 

Excellent! Not just to answer questions, but receive praise from real fans, some of whom know what ther're talking about!:good

 

:good

 

that bit when khan goes back down is definitely a bit controversial. i didn't notice the count was so far along when i watched it live. it was only when i watched the fight for a 2nd time that i noticed how far along the refs count was when khan went back down. :yep

the ref did amir a bit of a favour there really. :roll:

 

I think the ref also split it up when Khan was in abit of trouble after the KD, but il have to watch that again cause i watched so much boxing this weekend im getting the fights mixed up lol.

Big props to Willie though, he was expected to be nothing but a stepping-stone for Khan but gave him a hell of a fight. I wish him all the best in his recovery from the eardrum thing, and hope he gets the rematch (though i doubt he will). He deserves it.

 

How would Willie feel about a re-match?

There's normally a clause in Title fight contracts that if the fight was close or an incorrect judgement then a rematch could be arranged?

I reckon if Willie lasted longer he would have KO'd Amir Khan. without doubt Amir Khan can't take a punch and was blowing by the 5th round.

I'll give both fighters respect, that was one of the best fights I've seen in months and would love to see a re-match.

I think the Khan v Limond fight could be a turning point in King Khans career. Everybody knows his weakenss and will now look to exploit it.

He's a young lad with a great deal of skill and a glass jaw, I can't wait to see Amir Khans next fight. I just hope Frank Warren doesn't match him against more poofs like Steve Bull.

Regards,


John :good

 

First off great respect to Willie.

I think it would be very good for both fighters to have a rematch.

No offense to Willie but he was kinda picked for the low ko rating and the title.

Khan actully getting knocked down in the fight must have set alarm bells of in Warrens\ect heads about him being put in with a big puncher next. They believe him to be a great boxer and have the tools to beat anyone but dare not put him in with a puncher. So Limond would be a great fight for them again if they want to keep him fighting good opposition who they believe can not finish Khan off.

It would be good for Limond for so many reasons such as the title/revenge/proof about the knock down and his pride, getting pulled out like that when you think you are on th verge of winning must hurt.

It would be great for us fans because many on here thought that Limmond was about to win and Limmond has jumped up in many fans estimations who had not seen him before such as me. I thought he had been hand picked but instead he turned out to beone hell of a fighter who in fairness has the skills to be top dog in british lieghtweight area.

What you will find is that both Khan and the ref have been in boxing a long time but both made a mistake. Both are pros but also human. Thankfully those mistakes neutralised each other. It was confusion for both.

People need to stop grasping at straws in hope of a KO6! On another night maybe the ref may have counted him out but as it was, most (except Amsterdam) could admit Khan was fit to continue.

 

well imust admit i was wrong i said i thought wullie would beat him on points which i actually had money on wereas he should have won by KO!!! he was robbed you are so right about the kncokdown.

Give my best wishes to wullie and thank him for doing the whole of Scotland proud mate

 

this is hilarious....Limond showed great heart courage and skill and a little pop as well. What he wasnt was robbed.

I hope Willie gets his rematch
