~ Amir KHAN v. Graham EARL ~ Analysis and Prediction Thread ~

Yes, you can fault Earl! He lied to us! We were all asking how faded Earl was...he said he wasn't at all faded! He said he was better than ever! HE LIED TO US FOR WARREN'S MONEY! Screw him!

 

Earl is sadly deluded. Brave, gutsy guy, but deluded.

Khan was impressive. I was very surprised, I was expecting it to go to the judges or at least end in the middle rounds...

 

:good

 

So an early night for Earl then.

Good performance by Khan.

Had high expectations for this fight - disappointed we didn't get to see the contest we had hoped for.

 

khan shud jus forget abt thaxton.
we wanna see value for our money,

if he faces thax it will be more of the same.

all the haters are in hiding i see.
lol

 

when he gets home maybe you could go to earl's house and chastise him

 

My mind knew it would be a disappointing fight entertainment-wise but I hoped for an exciting fight in my heart. :-(

Altho I was hoping for a Khan win i wanted to see him tested a little. I thought 'on paper', as they say, this would have been Khan's toughest fight domestically but I think Earl's current state meant that went out of the window. Hope the guy retires now.

I must admit I was one of those who thought Earl would be more of a test than Thaxton and I still maintain that Thaxton was behind Earl before tonight in terms of really testing Khan. But i guess he'd probly do better against Khan than Earl did tonight.

I hope Khan now goes over to the US to train and really build his skills with better training and sparring. I'm not suggesting he completely skips the UK fighters but I really don't see anyone really challenging him here.

 

:good

 

Amir Khan "Got Olympic on that ass" too much skill for Graham Earl.

There is my analysis, **** everything else.

 

They showed Murray afterwards too.

I can;t believe how hyped Murray Is, Khan would destroy him.

 

I think my can theory has been vindicated.

If Amir is going to be world class, and i think he will, decent but limited fighters like Earl are going to be dominated.

The one thing that struck me anout the fight was the fighter's aparent size. Khan looked to be a fighter from a couple of divisions above.

 

I hate to say it, bur Earl was about as shot as a fighter can be. He used to have a rock solid chin, and Khan is not a big puncher, yet he fell apart so dramatically it was a joke.
He barely threw a punch himself, and when he did it was in slow motion, no pop whatsoever. His didn't even make any attempt to defend himself properly.
Perhaps I would give Khan some credit if Earl at least looked a bit like the fighter he once was, but to be honest this was just a very shrewd business move on the part of Frank Warren.
The biggest laugh of all though is the way ITV are harping on how fantastic this win was. The website even reports that Earl was No.1 in Britain, and how the fight was competitive up until the end.
Are we really to believe that Khan is improving at such a fast rate? I ain't buying it.

 

Khan is a big puncher!

 

You've been listening to Jim Rosenthal a bit too much.

 

What makes you think he is not a big puncher? I have not seen anything that would suggest he is not.
