That's a china chin. Unfortunately for Amir, his biggest weakness can never be amended so he'll never be worldclass no matter how good his fundamentals are. I feel bad for him.
OH HOT ****ING MARY MOTHER****ER!!!!!!!! Oh goddamnt, This is going to be ****ing wild the rest of the day. The Khan Hype just got shotdown like a rabid dog
They sold the fight PPV on SKY based on a dangerous opponent with an unbeaten record. Very risky indeed. Any fighter who was matched against Khan tonight would not have been allowed to step in the ring with a record like 20-5. The guy was unknown. Mind of Torres when he just about shocked Cotto?. A Columbian with an unbeaten record who could punch.
He's not going to be out of business, but you have to wonder where he goes from here. Arthur lost, Khan lost, Calzaghe and Hatton have left and even one of his better second tier fighters in Matthews has signed with Haye. If Enzo doesn't beat Banks, he's got nobody of any note. Still shocked that Khan got blown out so easily. I knew he was glass jawed, but I didn't think he was in Herbie Hide's league.
Even if Khan had an iron chin he was extremely limited overall as a fighter. The idea that this kid was sold as a phenom to the British public is a pure :huh . Amir Khan is one of the greatest frauds in sports history, without exaggeration. They had books, documentaries, foundations, TV specials, endorsement deals... He was presented as if he was Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods... The degree to which all this is insulting to the boxing establishment, and basic human intelligence, makes the brain want to explode. It's maddening.
Warren been in this buisness an long time he will survuve, he will put on some more crummy cards for us all to enjoy
He'll probably massively overpay to sign James DeGale. After that? Your guess is as good as mine. I don't think he has any beltholders left, he doesn't even have any good prospects at this point, and he just paid a lot of money to sign Khan long-term.
