There's too much negativity here, a lot of childish glee being posted when Khan went down. Willie Limond is a proper fighter, a good pro, seasoned and experienced with only ONE defeat. Khan is kid. He's 20 YEARS OLD for ****s sake. You watched a KID go and brawl with a damn good fighter like Willie Limond and come back to win, and yet all people can say is he was exposed! Not a chance.

Chin? Yeah, quite possibly china. Limond isn't a massive puncher and khan was all over the place. Thats one negative. Lets look at the other aspect of Khan's game that he PROVED tonight; 1. Bollocks. 2. Heart 3. Will to win 4. Punching power 5. great handspeed with the jab and follow-up right-cross. People are being way too negative.

He still has LONG way to go, he needs lots of fights so he can gain experience and learn to deal with shots, coz he'll be facing much harder punchers than Willie Limond if he wants to get anywhere. He's 20, this isn't Audley Harrison, and he'll get much better as he matures. If he goes for the world-class guys within the next 3-4 years then he'll get killed. If he's managed properly he might go on to do well.

But on the good side it was a cracking fight, he showed so much bottle when he was fighting back from that knockdown, it was inspirational to watch a 20 year old novice do that. Willie Limond gave a great account of himself, he's nothing to be ashamed of. Amir Lhan has a very fast jab and follows it up so quickly with the right hand, when's got his hands up and he's doing that to people he's great. However one of the problems he has is that when he tries getting up close he goes charging in he gets realy scrappy, he's just a blur of hands. Someone experienced like Limond, who wasn't overwhelmned by the speed of the barrage, managed to just sit back and pick his shots as Khan came charging in. The only cure for that is experience, time, ring generalship. It'll come as he gets more mature.

Right, off to watch Skelton Sprott

Sprott vs Skelton was far more embarrasing.atsch

At least this was a great fight.

Also the gleefull negativity raises an interesting point. How well can a fighter do with a glass jaw at world level?

i actually prefer fighters who chins are a bit suspect. I think you get much more entertainment in the fight.

Did anyone not fight the Limond-Khan fight entertaining. Thats whats its all about

Look at Gatti....hes not the best boxer out there, put ppl love him because he is so entertaining...Chico was the same.
