    Spitting your gumshield isnt hurting anyone either but you can still get points taken off you if you do it enough.

    And if you have had a point taken off you for spitting the gumsheild out, then you would want to be some sort of idiot to keep doing it! :deal

    The slogan was fine, just used in the wrong situation. It would be more appropriate for the Lara-Williams fight for instance.

    He lost the 11th by me by a mile his pushing and holding in that round was shameful from memory.

    Can't believe how much this thread has went on over this fight. Didn't see anything controversial in this fight at all. Close fight could of went either way.

    Yeah you are right, it was used in the wrong situation - because Khan was already defeated by some Colombian lad.

    I've seen him fight a few times since that as well.

    Hatton had a point taken off by the same Joe Cortez who let B-Hop do whatever he wanted against Calzaghe shortly afterwards and the same Joe Cortez who let Khan get away with murder against Maidana.

    Basically you're prepared to admit that he was fouling but you feel that he should get away with it because he's Amir Khan and you love him...am I right? You are right in saying that he's been allowed to use pushing and headlocks before but referees are not consistent unfortunately. On this occasion he came up against a ref who wasn't going to tolerate it, he was warned but he either didn't listen or couldn't adapt so he lost points. He's only got himself to blame.

    I don't like resorting to using terms like "nut hugger" and "fan boy" but they're appropriate in your case. Whatever stance Khan had taken on this, however unreasonable and ridiculous it may be, you'd have backed him to the hilt because you're totally blinded by your infatuation with him and it renders you incapable of weighing the situation up and forming an opinion which you can back up in a reasonable debate :verysad

    I don't want to seem like I'm getting on Khans back, but I've just read today's Manchester Evening News and Khan is quoted as saying. "There's a lot of huge names out there. There's SHANE MOSLEY. That would be amazing"

    Oh dear.
