What a joke stoppage AGAIN...

Warren may have to put him in with someone dangerous after that, shot himself in the foot a bit really.

 

Compared with the shots Thaxton had to crack him with to get the ref to step in it was pretty tame . Those uppercuts were landing on the gloves but I don't feel too bad about the stoppage because it was only going one way , a bit like Calzaghe v Manfredo in that sense .

 

they should hook him up with john Murray it should make for an interesting fight

 

You must have watched a different replay to me. The guy was taking needless shots and would have certainly got hurt. Anyway, he didn't seem to complain. Stupid matchup really, Lawton just didn't have the tools to finish Khan, even with his brittle chin. Warren needs to stop blowing smoke up our arses.

 

come of it he took 15 plus unanswerd shots, he could of taken a knee but he didn't and it didn't look like he was going to so the ref had to stop it. i didnt see any complaining for Lawton.

i wish people would get of Khans back, i dont think he will ever be a p4p top 10 but he will win a world title and im gonna support him. He will stop Earl, Thaxton and Romanov which ever of those 3 he fights next guarentee.

 

Yeah totally agree was only a matter of time before khan did eventually start landing cleanly lawton looked to have frozen tonight imo.

im not a fan of khan but i must admite there was a big improvement tonight to the limond fight though pretty hard to tell just how much hes improved as lawton just didnt look as if he was up for it tonight.

Didnt know khans next fight, 8th Dec, is his 21st birthday which means he can fight for the British now doesnt it? FW said his next opponent will be announced on thursday and could be another defence of his title OR fight for another title anyone think they will through him in with thaxton? or just another publicity stunt.

1 last point whats all this about 2 rising stars on a collision course thihng on the posters for tonights fight with kevin mitchell on it? surely theres no way FW would put 2 of his undefeated young fighters who hes been keeping away from everyone in together? anyone know what that was about?

 

How was it a bull**** stoppage if you are stood their getting hit and throwing nothing back, not defending yourself the ref stops the fight. I think kahn would destroy thaxton, he is about a million times more talented and although thaxton has bit of power he's hardly julian jackson.

 

I've seen far worse stoppages.



Usually involving Warren fighters though!

 

Very true - that was fine for me.

 

Nothing wrong with that stoppage whatsoever. Khan was raining down unanswered blows and Lawton was taking some damage from my perspective. Nothing too serious but there was no way back for him.

What annoyed me was the fact that he in there in the first place but we shall leave that debate for another time...

 

Lawton had already been hurt a few times before the stoppage and he did not look too bothered when the ref called an holt to it.

 

Stoppage a little premature but the outcome would have been the same.

 

They've just interviewed Lawton (who came across VERY well BTW) and he said it was a good stoppage and the ref did a great job.

 

Earl I agree , Thaxton it's possible but I'd disagree.............but Romanov ?

Anyone who thinks Khan beats let alone stops Romanov is either (a) delusional or (b) only seen Romanov fight Graham Earl .
