    Well there we have it, Khan lost. So where does Khan go from here? Promoting his bro Harry maybe?

    I agree.

    Not that I think it's right, and to be honest I think our officials are absolutely dire, but we can't pretend it's only us.

    That was disgraceful.

    Limond was robbed of that fight, Khan clearly wasn't capable of continuing at the time when most people would have reached the count of ten.

    Of course he put in a brilliant and gutsy effort to get rid of Limond not long after.

    Americans criticising British refereeing is comical. So what if Khan was holding it hardly spoilt the fight, that's what fighters do, they use little advantages here and there.

    The holding wasnt that bad, he should have been warned but ive seen much worse from boxers who have got away with it.

    I'm not blaming Khan but the refereeing was terrible. The holding was literally ridiculous, obviously Khan is going to do what he has to but the referee is there to stop him or anyone else from having an unfair advantage. He didn't even warn Khan and then warned Diaz straight after for coming in with his head.

    The only other time i can remember Khan getting this much help was in the Maidana fight, this was even worse than that. Both refs helped Khan survive these fights.

    Yeah in the Maidana fight he got a bit of help but still probably would have made it. This one was just a joke lol.
