Yeah he lost on points check the main site.

 

i was just going off how it sounded off sky sports news updates it was sounding like a barrera pacquiao 1

 

lmao what fight were you watching, pure blind favourtism

 

it does matter

 

Can someone please explain to me why so many people are so determined to rubbish everything about Amir Khan, the third youngest world champion from the UK ever, when he is a such a young man and he has responded in the best possible way to the terrible shock of his early defeats/scares? Is no-one able to distinguish between the ludicrous hype behind him and the man himself?

I thought this was a forum for fans of boxing, but like anywhere else I've seen discussions about Khan, it seems the most vocal commentators on him are loathe to give him an ounce of credit for being the fastest, most talented, and on recent evidence, the fastest improving prospect at his weight or thereabouts. What's going on?

On his performance against Barrera, and on tonight, why aren't more people as delighted as I am to see such an obvious talent flourishing under the right trainer , overcoming the apparent achillies heel of his chin. His defence was excellent tonight, against a tricky, technical world champion. What more must he do to get a breather from the haters?

I'm sorry, I suspect the haters of motives other than a love of boxing.

 

The problem is that you're such a huge fan that you're seeing a ton of criticism when in fact there really isn't that much.

 

I watched the fight online with an attached chatroom, and the overly critical comments on this site might seem eminently fairminded compared to the ill-informed, badly spelt and overtly racist nonsense I witnessed there, so you'll have to forgive me if I'm a little suspicious of people who seem reluctant to give credit where it's due...

 

Roach won the fight.

 

FB....I think we are getting the drift thumbsup

 

Seeing that someone had this fight as a draw highlights the lack of clarity with which most people view Khan.

I criticised the guy more than most, slaughtered him even. However, a few weeks back I posted that I had seen him in training and he looked a completely different animal. I was laughed at for that, with replies (in an article comment section) saying you couldn't judge anything from training. Whilst that may be the case I do think you can see a change in someone - and thats what I saw in Khan.

Focus, complete focus. Listening to Freddie and doing absolutely everything he was told to - without any diversion at all. That's pretty much what he did last night and in doing so he dominated Kotelnik. To have it has a draw, or even close to be honest, is ludicrous. Ignore the pro-British commentary, switch it off and you'd still be hard pressed not to have been surprised by a completely changed Khan.

The irony of Prescott and Kahns careers both changing overnight, on the same day, is something that makes me smile. It should be obvious to anyone that Prescott landed the dream punch and that time has a habit of finding you out. Prescott has been found out. Big hitter, little more.

Well done Amir. Now the hard work begins again. He changed my opinion on him, I was wrong, and I don't mind admitting it.

 

Dont think Roach wants him to plant his feet. Roach doesnt want him in a position to be hurt.

Whoever said Prescott was all that? It was Warren and his camp who deflected the blame to Khan's former trainer in picking Prescott has an opponent. The reality is they picked Prescott as they believed he was a limited puncher.

 

Hey, I'm in the same boat. I busted on him for awhile, but I can now see he's definitely improved his skills and protects his weak chin, at least that formula worked in this fight. We'll see how he does against harder punching folks, but for now, I'll give Khan props for sticking to Roach's game plan all night.

 

You`re the guy who scored Calzaghe-Lacy 10-2 for Lacy.

 

Had it 116-112 Khan. Good win for him.

The 120-108 scorecard is criminal. Cheating Brits...

 

Lewis- Holyfield I.
