    Dont make me quote Mayweather and Prizefighting lol alternatively go to Khans Twitter Account.

    Its a shame Khan didnt hang around longer at lightweight, with Campbell, Diaz and JMM moving, he could have been unified the championship, Paulus Moses is crap, Manny could have vacated his wbc belt, and carefully avoided Valero, called him out after he got arrested, and now with Diaz/JMM moving back down, now decided to move upto LWW, and been a two weight world champion.

    I should become a match maker, every fighter would be a potential ATG on paper!

    You clearly didn't watch the same fight as I did. That's ok. You can find it on YouTube. Have a look, they've even got it in 480p so you can see what happens more clearly. If you want, I can provide you some text commentary to help you understand what's happening, but the commentary itself is quite good.

    Please dont make sit thru that bull**** again, i'd get more pleasure out of watching Bradley hitting a heavybag. Atleast there's a chance the momentum of the Heavybag may force Bradley back at times.

    Can't be more tedious than Khan-Kotelnik though, can it?

    Thats required viewing for any true connoisseur of the sweet science, its a clinic in how to defeat the Peekaboo style, using reach, speed, jabs and straight rights to pierce the guard :good

    And here was me thinking it was a 12 round exhibition of getting on your bicycle, throwing powder-puff keep-away punches while stinking the joint out. I also don't recall him landing much at all, just outworking the smaller, slower Kotelnik.

    It was a lousy fight, only a hugger could try and proclaim its excellent.

    Khan was moving up in weight, he did what he had to do to win, throwing quick combinations against a guy with a solid chin, who times his counters to perfection, and then breaks you down, like he did Rees and not so much Maidana. Khan fought the perfect fight, in and out, kept his discipline, and deserved the win. I was in the Arena, and every1 was on teh edge of their seat till the end.

    Maybe that was more to do with knowing how bad Khans chin was, knowing a good punch would lay him out, but to call it Tedious and boring compared to the Bradley-Peterson fight? come on, atleast Kotelnik tried, wtf did Peterson do apart from his best Boris Karloff impresson against an industrious Bradley.

    Of course not, you were stood up screaming at the top of your lungs, you Khan nuthugger :lol:

    But it was a decidedly pro-Khan crowd, in comparison to the Barrera fight anyway, and i was right in the middle of it, so maybe some of the tension passed over.

    Amir Khan thinks he can tell Oscar De La Hoya what to do? :lol:

    I'm assuming that's just poor choice of words, rather than him being an arrogant ****.

    He deserved the win, it was a good gameplan, just not very convincing. Kotelnik's a decent fighter, but let's not blow his skills out of proportion. He's a decent puncher, with good timing and solid fundamentals. But he's a plodder with little handspeed. Kicking the snot out of Rees is not that exciting as an achievement.

    I put your last comment in bold. If you think that a) Bradley-Peterson was boring, you clearly don't enjoy aggressive fighters with good skills using movement, power and positioning to win a fight. If you think that b) Peterson wasn't trying, then you REALLY need glasses. That kid was digging in hellacious bodyshots and Bradley needed to work from the outside to control the fight. It may have been a wide decision, but Bradley was forced to work for it every minute.
