http://www.dailystar.co.uk/inthering/view/136517/Amir-Khan-slams-boxing-pundit-Duke-McKenzie-/ Preach on Amir, preach on!:bowdown Duke was really annoying me during the fight too. Though he was right about some things the guy irks me. I downloaded the HBO broadcast and they were light years better. Ledderman also gave round 3 to Khan, which I remember being suprised when Duke gave to Paulie.
I didn't think there was anything wrong with his commentary. I think he was a bit kind to Malignaggi and thats about it. Khan is obviously a bit sensitive.
Niether here nor there to be honest here. I think McKenzie is a **** commentator, truly woeful... But is getting to the point now where anybody who says anything negative about Khan now gets publicly lambasted by him. He has to understand that not everybody will like him, and it's Duke's job to commentate on the fight and report how he see's it, not to be scared of speaking out against a British fighter.
he wasnt outrages but he was poor , i agree with khan here but i don think he should be publicly critisisng him
Just out of curiosity why not ? Jim Watt gets ridiculed on here for nut-hugging and not calling fights properly and using bias. Why shouldn't McKenzie be able to say something derogatory about him if thats what he's paid to do.
I argee with what Khan said. In other interviews when Duke talks about Khan he never really liked him. He never really said much positive things about Khan. Even after the fight. Never liked Duke and ITV commentary.
Yeah Khan really should just STFU, its got to that point. He's aiming these diatribes all over the ****ing place at the moment. 'Twitter Wars', Froch-gate, now he doesn't like McKenzie. I'm all for saying what you think but you are not going to please anybody other than your hardcore fans with immature ****.
we get a watt , we have a go at mckenzie thats us on here , who the **** listens to us khans a pro fighter and he has gone about this the wrong way for me
He has for me too. Thats what I was trying to explain to Lazarus the other day. Khan's at a point in his career now when he seems to be finally winning over some of the fans in America and over here. He's world champ :good He's going someway to proving himself on the world level and has big fights ahead of him :good But he should shut the **** up outside of the ring. He comes across as very stupid with his comments over recent months and he should come to terms with the fact that NOT EVERYONE IS GOING TO LIKE HIM. He can't keep running his mouth off everytime someone criticises him. It's not like McKenzie went about after the fight telling 'all-and sundray' that Khan was ****. He was paid to comment on the fight which he did. So he said Khan was a bit ragged and slugish or whatever - Thats his job I could understand it a little better if mcKenzie called him **** - but come on "Ragged and Sluggish" :rofl
But to be fair...on occasions he did look ragged. What else would you describe his bumrushing moments where he ran in throwing 1-2 combos square on and missing? They were ragged moments. His overall performance wasn't sluggish and ragged but there were imperfect moments in there...
Duke Is Always Kinda Negative to the British Fighter...maybe cos he trying hard not to sound biased. He always annoyed with Froch...then roars him on to victory. Duke loves his British fighters and wants them all to do well. Tbh i used to put him on Mute when Khan fought on ITV before because he was hanging off Khans nuts like a squirrel while Khan battered some lad from the local leisure centre. World title fights he looks for perfection...and why not..when Khan talks so highly of himself. Cannot Wait to See Him Be Humbled...Again!!!!
There were also a lot of very complimentary comments from Duke as well. You can't expect commentators to lick your arse the whole fight.
:deal...the fact he didn't have to say ''his legs are gone Jim!!!'' means he felt Khan was in fantastic form. Khan should be proud he avoided that statement.
