    After khan had gone down for the second time from one of the replay angles on sky u in slow motion you see Rubio next to a photographer in the corner start clapping. Don't get me wrong he wasn't jumping about for joy but it's not exactly the reaction you would expect when your 21 year old sensation has just be destroyed.

    you cannot discount the theory that he knew John Prescott was too much for Khan and piled on the 9/1..................
    He coulda made serious money. A new home by the beach, pool, games room, gym, and crockery set made of the very finest of china...in appreciation of his protege...Amir 'eggshells' Khan.

    He could have been encouraging him to get back up

    That's what it looks like to me. It was only two claps, like he was trying to get his attention. It was hardly a round of applause.

    Come on you guys have to admit that KO was impressive so you can't blame Rubio for clapping.

    Khan pisses people off with his constant bull**** in the media. Can you imagine listening to that in the gym everyday, poor Rubio must have been really fed up with Khans stories of being untouchable and fighting Manny etc etc.

    yes i must admit, i fell for all the hype, now i realise that khan will never be a top level fighter, and i dont have high hopes for him any more

    Amateur thing- when fighters or trainers spend years and years there they keep all the little bits of etiquette like this, or bowing.
