Khan vs Gethin looking more likely

Khan has already fought Gethin, hasn't he?

EDIT: Wrong Gethin. Seems strange to fight an undefeated prospect with less than a 50% KO rating. What is Khan supposed to learn?

 

Khan was always going to back in with someone that has an average ko record. Interesting to see it's being put back a week to the 13th to accomodate Roach.

If Sky put this on Box Office they can shove it. This is a Bethnall Hall fight not a glamour match-up to fill out a 20,000 arena.

 

I really hope Gethin gets this fight and beats Khan!!!!

 

If Gethin beats Khan it will have bigger implications than the Prescott loss, believe me.

For all this time, we have been led to believe that Amir was above EUROPEAN level now - so to lose to a decent (not cracking IMO) domestic PROSPECT would be very embarrassing indeed. Certainly more so than a loss to Thaxton, whom Amir called out and in turn, shamelessly ducked.

 

I don't see what Gethin has got to lose. A decent pay day and a good chance to test Khan's confidence early on.

Khan should win though, training with Roach will be brilliant. The besr thing he could do is leave his 'entourage' behind go out to Wild Card and spar with some tough, tough opponents.

 

I think Gethin has more in his fists than Fewkes

I have seen Fewkes a few times, Gethin only twice - and was fairly impressed with both (Fewkes effort against Gethin excl)

Jeff has said that Fewkes is pretty average and won't get past 8 round level - not sure whether to agree or not. He looks good jabbing and moving, but against an operator with good skills and more power than himself he may come unstuck regularly.

 

If Khan loses this, he's finished. He will actually be at journeyman level.

 

thats the trouble when you are a hot prospect coming back of a defeat, the pressure to win the next fight is huge, where does khan go from here if he loses again!!!!!

 

Gethin is probably raring to go. Anybody is just going to jump all over Khan now.

 

As my first post under a new username, I would just like to state how pleasurable it was to finally see Khan get what we all knew was coming to him. I would not have been so excited to see it, but due to the hype and lies given to all of the public about this guys chances, it was vindication that I absolutely can read a fake amateur hope when they come along.

Khan's career now is as good as over, unless he can work on defensive style and protect his frail chin. He needs to step up now and fight the best the UK has to offer, and not just hunt obscure nobodies with very low KO records like he was before. That is the test.

 

Lets be honest Gethin is hardly the second coming of Billy Schwer... he's poor if pretty solid. He's slow, has a average defence and looks horribly gaunt at lightweight. His two 'big' wins came against Siddique who is central area level at best and Fewkes whom Dwilson said was suffering from horrendous personal issues and hardly came to fight. TBH I'm not really interested in Khans career anymore. Nice kid, could be a great fighter but he's been mis managed to a point where he doesn't really look likely to be around even in f-5 years time.

 

Clearly you know nothing about this site. Jeff is an ex pro with extensive knowledge, historically and technically of the UK boxing scene.

We all know what Khan is. This post is more appropriate for the general forum.
