Khan Fight: the commentary tells all

So will Naz....

 

It's simple, the best fighers are just going to dive on him now...

His chin is woeful, Herbie Hide standards...

 

At cruiserweight?

 

I'm sorry but the Gomez fight was the clincher for me, he just hasn't got the chin to make a world class fighter.

 

I think he surpasses Herbie, honestly

I mean HH, I know he got knocked out by the friction between air and glove against Vitali, and knocked out by a few journeymen, but nothing anywhere near as dramatic or quick as that. He went 6 with Bowe :think

 

His chin will never be adequate at World level, let's get things straight here.
Breidis Prescott is not a World Class fighter.

In much the same way I realised Bernard Dunne will most likely never win a World title Khan fans must realise the same. Both were exposed brually, Khan even more brutally so than Dunne.

Khan was even more untested than Dunne, and at least I can say Dunne won a European title and has a realistic chance of getting it back.

With Khan I'm not sure he'll ever win a European title, and he won't win the British title for as long as it's in John Murray's possession.

I kept saying Khan had never stepped up since Willie Limond and that once he did he would find problems again. He did, emphatically.


Let's just all be thankful that it wasn't Derrick 'Smoke' Gainer who was facing Amir Khan tonight, because the charade may have continued and more people may have shelled out for ppv's.

The question for Khan now is where from here ?, I'm guessing he'll have a long time out but when he does come back they're going to have a real problem getting him anywhere if they have to keep him in with powder puff punchers.

 

wonder how itv would have covered this. think frank had itv in his pocket more than he did sky, so i imagine they'd have tried to sugar coat things and say this is just a setback.

 

Looking at the replay angle where you can see Khan's corner as he gets knocked down the second time, you can see Rubio starting to CLAP as if Prescott's his fighter!

Might just be an involuntary reflex but strange all the same.

 

I was exactly the same. I had a bit of hope before that as he hadn't looked too shakey since Limond, and I started to delude myself into thinking his defence had improved and he might get away with it rather than coming to the logical conclusion he was against cherrypicked perfect stylistic matches.

It was quite bizarre, usually sensible posters such as Dan-b and jeff came to the conclusion that Khan was going places directly because of his showing against Gomez.

 

Nothing to do with jealousy whatsoever. This is a very alarming defeat no matter what spin you try and put on it

 

Bollocks.

Hide's chin got him to world titles at a weight he was too small for. He's only been KO'ed once by a nobody, and twice by 2 of the very best and biggest heavies on the planet. And he has fought waaaaaay better opposition than Khant.

Khant's chin is nowhere near that good.

 

Yeah, though he did go down about 7 times or something

Willie Limond, I'm a fan of this guy but as AAA once said, he can't really crack an egg and IMO there is a strong argument that says he should have STOPPED Khan!

A brutal first minute knockout in the first round is near impossible to come back from, for someone with that amount of hype surrounding him....

He never had a chance in this division anyway with the calibre of fighters in it but man for an unknown set up to KO you...man the only one's hurting more than Warren and Khan here are Sky...a 20 fight deal...

 

theres no way he is ever going to go beyond british level. he might win the belt but as soon as he fights someone who can punch hes gone.

bet warren wishes he has out one of hes own fighters like mitchell in with him.
