Might ITV calm down a little about Khan now?

    ....nah, it's not going to happen, is it?

    More's the pity for Khan. Less razzamatazz and hoopla would benefit him at this point.

    I would love, love this "youngest champ since Hamad" crap to be put on the shelf as well. It's like a red rag to a bull, when I don't think it's worth a damn anyway.

    It's official, Khan is no longer chinny, Jim Rosenthal said so. Now, that may well be true, but when you're as open to counters as Khan was, somebody like Romanov would dimantle Khan.

    Hopefully but I very much doubt it.
    It's cringeworthy :-(

    i know i thought it was rather strange that both jim and barry have managed to certify khan's chin as safe given his opposition to date.

    oh well, its to be expected. itv are paying plenty of cash to keep khan hyped up and the viewers tuning in.

    When your fighting a guy with 5 stoppaes in 19 wins you won't be getting your chin tested full stop.

    If you had invested millions of pounds into something, and the only way to get money back is buy people watching then you would do it to. Get over yourselved all you Khan haters your so boring.

    The bloke from Grange Hill announced the fight as "A step closer to a world title" (or something very similar). This was a step too far, I thought. Kristjansen may have been over matched, but there was no need to disrespect him in that way.

    He aint ready for a world title shot and personally after last night dont think he will be anytime soon if ever, i personally dont see good technical boxing ability , just speed,he is definately open for some heavy counters and if he does step up in quality his chin and heart is defo gonna get tested.
