    Why is Khan so hated in the UK?

    Seems to be a trend going on here with UK fighters who pick up big time deals to turn pro. That other olympic dude James DeGale got the same **** the other week.

    Because it was a crap performance.

    Was warned twice by the ref for throwing incorrect punches.

    Threw punches with the back of the hand, the inside of the glove and at one point even patted his opponent on the top of the head. I wouldn't have berated him for it, but I can understand were the "footie fan type supporters" were coming from.

    Race has alot to do with it, but also he has been built up so much on top of that people can't take it.

    At least Harrison and DeFail actually won golds..........Iron Man Khan only got a silver.

    The Amateur and Pro games are so different these days that it must be hard for a guy coming out of the Amateurs to live up to the hype generated. DeFail looks like he could have big problems shaking loose of his amateur style.

    Good luck to Khan and DeFail; I really hope they do well. At the moment though I just can't take Frank Warren telling me that these two guys are ATG's already. Way too early to tell.
