Khan could have been DQ'ed

In your opinion, having seen the fight, was the point deduction adequate for the infraction(s) ?

 

He didn't take the point but it wasn't a DQ and the right boxer won.

 

sorry did somebody ASK if Micky Vann was corrupt HAHAHA!!!!

he must be one of the worst.....

Khan got away with murder there...if he actually had the power to KO him there would be no choice but to DQ his ass... \(look at jones griffin))/

 

Khan was crap tonight. I fell asleep watching that rubbish. Why didn;'t the other chap get 5 minutes to recover from the extra shots? and did anyone else notice the knowing smile between Vann and Khan after the knockdown?

I suppose alarm bells should have started ringing when the judges were announced. Parris, Coyle and the other British guy? That seems fair for a "world" title eliminator.

Another thing, doesn't Khan, after Joe Calzaghe, give the most boring post-fight interview in Britain? "Khan do you regret hitting him when he was down?" "err this is err boxing err yeah i am yeah err yeah" Nice one Khan. Very articulate.

 

Khan should have had a point taken away. That was definitely a foul. In fact, if Kristjansen had played dead (ala Griffin) then Khan could have even been DQ'd.

To be honest, I doubt he did it with mean intentions -- he was winning pretty much every round before that, and he wasn't desperate or anything. It was a genuine mistake, but he should have had a point or two taken off, yeah.

 

If you mean the one titled 'Khan should have been disqualified' then the OP, as the title suggests, wasn't just suggesting he should be 'penalised' but dq'd. I haven't seen anyone argue that a points deduction wouldn't have been reasonable. The threadstarter was ridiculed mainly for starting yet another thread addressing a subject that was already being discussed.

 

Did Khan also land punches the second time Kristjansen went down. The replay showed it pretty clear but I do not think I have heard it mentioned?

 

Nothing that you don't see time and time again when a fighter is throwing a flurry of punches and their opponent goes down midway through.

 

for christ sake, it deserved a point deduction, no more. would have made it a 9-6 round had it finished.

 

Yep, I thought that. Still he he should have had a point deduction and the second time was blatant. Obviusly no one thinks much of the issue so it should be put to rest and forgotten about.

 

I thought Khan did it on the second knockdown too, which, IMO, definitely warrants a DQ.
But if he didn't then maybe DQ is too harsh. I need to re-check that 2nd KD. It seemed he landed one while Kristansen was on his knee again.

Also, the first knockdown was blatant, and Kristjansen was surely entitled to a minute's recovery, and Khan certainly deserved to be docked a point. Khan's post-fight comments suggest it was deliberate, or that Khan himself didn't see anything wrong with it.

But obviously in front of a pro-Khan crowd, in Khan's hometown, with an English referee, nothing was done.

I started the other thread and got nothing but contempt, ridicule and insults.
It seems no one wants to address the rules of boxing unless it happens TO a British fighter.
When **** like that happens to a Brit in Germany you guys would all be screaming about corruption.

As I said before, Roy Jones wasn't too precious to get away with that **** (admittedly other fighters have), so why should Khan ?

Until they change the rules so that a fighter is not coinsidered "down" when he's on his knees, then this sort of foul should be considered a serious breach of the rules.

 

oh well what are khans chances against nate campbell

 

Yeah, I feel adrenalin fuelled boxers who are exhausted and on a high after winning, should always reel off some Tennyson or something.

 

I thought the second knockdown was clean enough. Kristjansen was doubled-up and the ropes were holding him up. We've all seen that plenty of times.

The late punch on the first knockdown was disgraceful and I've got no doubt that it was deliberate. I've been a Khan fan but that should have been a DQ.
