Khan Fight: the commentary tells all

Man I'm a long time Khan hater, no need to get defensive about Herbie who I quite like

This is a guy who remember, was bounced around the ring like a basketball by Riddick Bowe and was Koed by a fresh air shot by Vitali Klitschko!

Two tremndous heavies as you say, but the manner of them always make Herbie a point of reference when it comes to talking about china chins...hence the comparison.

 

He was rocked in the amatuers by nothing punches.
He's been hurt by arm punches thrown in a clinch, twice.
Willie Limond had him on ***** St., which says something, as Limond is feather fisted.
Michael Gomez knocked him down with an off balance punch.
And now Prescott brutally knocks him out in one. After sending back backwards with a jab and then a glancing left hook.

Paulie Malignaggi would knock Khan out, and I'm confident about that.

 

At least hide could take a jab with out his knes bucking :yep

 

Unfortunately for Herbie, that's not true either!
He's been knocked down with a jab in his career...possibly twice now I come to think of it.

 

It was the clincher for me too. But not just the fact he went down.

The fact that he couldn't keep Gomez off, and was bullied by a smaller, older guy like that, just the all round performance really, was not that of a future champion.

 

What's worrying for Khan about the commentary is that Darke has produced some of the most biased commentaries I've heard in support of Sky's fighters, but hear you can almost feel Sky washing their hands of him - particularly bearing in mind the Setanta-Warren legal dispute going on. Be interesting to see what's in the small print of his Sky Box Office deal, although perversely there's bound to be interest in seeng how he bounces back.

 

He would go down if any top level fighter looked at him hard, its not his fault, he just cannot take a hard shot.

 

Not being defensive at all, sorry if i came over that way. Hide has **** punch resistance but Khant is waaaaaay worse.





And it wasnt a fresh air shot. That shot clearly ruffled his fro.

 

That was a brutal ko,where does Khan go from here? his future opponents confidence will be boosted massively,i can see them all drawing him into a fight now,even he must admit now that he cannot take a punch,that is also going to play on his mind in future fights,perhaps now we wont see his father,who likes his face on tv too much for my liking.

 

What I would like to know is, what boxing expert at SKY thought a 20 fight deal with Khan was a good idea?

He has been an accident waiting to happen for a while now, and anyone who isn't a huge fan of his could see it.

 

Agreed.Herbie was a small HW,Khan a big LW.
Moreover Bowe & Vitali are huge.

 

Great post.:good
