I started watching the fight tonight and the way they were talking Khan had stepped up in class, the guy had never been stopped (sounded promising), then they showed his record, looking good so far..... Ahhh! 5 KO's. Another feather fisted opponent.
Interesting that Amir was waiting with bated breath to hear what Warren would be saying: one more fight before a title fight or not... Warren still calls the shots; he's like an Army Sergeant: one more, son, give me ONE more...one more...just ONE more... He also brushed Khan off saying: it's not down to me...the WBO need to decide! ...McGuigan also said he thought Khan needed ONE more fight before a title fight...:think
That made me chuckle as well. Poor old Frank being dictated to by the WBO after some of the challangers they've sactioned for him.
:yep The conclusion, though, seems to be: Khan ain't ready, so they're not going to get him a title shot yet. Good decision, if you ask me. Warren was saying something about a fight in June...which means Khan cannot break the record (early July)...:?
But, but, but, the record, he must break the record! It's the only thing that matters. We cannot be denied this piece of history being made before our very eyes. There must be a way......
Yep, its fair enough, he's 21. Better safe than sorry I suppose? At the end of the day the longer he waits the older the winner of Casa-Campbell is going to be....
Record is good but improving further and beating a legit titleholder clearly is better. I'm sure Warren will convince Khan in the end.
So...the WBO have a Champion (Campbell), an Interim Champion (Casamayor) and a winner of an eliminator (Khan)... ...still room for a Regular/Super Champion in there, I think.
Great stuff amir. he was quality tonight. Maybe should have paced his fight alittle more, but he pounced sensationally on kristijansen when he needed to.
Hey I'd love to see you climb into the ring with a pro boxer. Put some gloves on. Then call them a bum to their face. Awesome. You would probably be hospitalized. Well done. Stop been a sub-human.
