Missed the Paul Smith and Matthew Macklin fights unfortunately. Audley got a terrible reception with really bad booing throughout his fight and after the decision, however they did cheer for Audley at times when he did get his finger out and start banging. The Brazilian was being cheered as he celebrated his performance, it reminded me of Klitschko Lewis! Arthur Cook- Cook showed good body and head movement but at times didn't throw enough punches. Cook was the worthy winner with both fighters being hurt at times. I had Cook winning by 5 or 6 rounds, Cook's defence compared to Arthur's for me being a significant factor! Plenty of fans for both fighters. Khan gets a fantastic reception on his entrance, everyone stood up clapping. Breidis Prescott's reception was a mix of booing and respectful applause, with the odd person cheering him on! Prescott looked really relaxed, Khan a bit tense. The arena erupted as Khan started getting knocked out, my legs began shaking with adrenaline and I was not the only one! I dont think it was that the crowd wanted to see Amir lose, but we were buzzing after witnessing a significant event in British boxing and also shocked since many including I expected Khan to blitz this guy in a couple of rounds. Yes I will eat some humble pie for saying "Amir is not getting knocked out by this guy" but at least I said nothing was impossible! Great night, felt sorry for Amir though. Some Scots by us above where Amir left the auditorium were disrectful and booing as he was walking out, after just getting knocked out! He did try his best to get up after all. Obviously not saying all the Scots were booing before anyone jumps on the attack.
thanks for the video, as for the Scots booing Khan...he ****ing deserves it for a gift over Limond and for being generally a horrible little gobshite and a fraud. **** Khan......he's been an integral part of ripping off the dumb British public....AGAIN. atsch
Half the arena or more was booing when he left. Plenty of the English were giving him dogs abuse near me. Prescott got cheered after the ko like he was the hometown hero.
A night of shocks all round - I watched on PPV and feel ripped-off by what was on offer. But as a supporter of British boxers, I'd probably pay again... and again.. and... Putting the Harrison fight to one side - pretty dismal affair (IMHO), the Arthur vs Cook fight was a shock. Honestly thought Arthur would have been too strong; and this was the main reason I lined Warrens pockets. For the record, Cook deserved it by a country mile. The Khan fight wasn't why I bought this event. But swiftly moving onto the Khan fight, he rushed in like a wean in playground scrap and was easily pegged. Adrenalin rush, big crowd, lack of maturity? Maybe. But surely his "team" must have warned him that Prescott could bang and that one lapse in defence can be serious at any level. Khan let himself down badly and will have to think long and hard about what he's capable of getting out of boxing now. If I were an advisor, I'd be brutaly honest about his options and career path; especially when it's known that to progress he'll be up against some seriously good opponents in a good division. As a promoter, not sure what Warren does now? Perhaps a few easy comeback fights as he tries to pick up the pieces? But the paying public aren't daft and they'll be wanting to see him stretched - and to see if he's learned a lesson.
why are you making refrence to the fact that there scottish?was there not any english,welsh booing? what about all the folk who booed harrison ?where they all being disraspectful?
Yes there was lots of English booing Harrison and no doubt Khan too, I was just making reference to the group of 15 or so with a Scottish flag above where Khan was walking out when they boo'd almost right above his head. I wont single them out next time then, it was just a moment where I felt sorry for Khan!
