    Saw clip of the weigh in on FWTV earlier - pretty uneventful apart from Gomez completely stripping off! :oops:

    :patsch

    I don't like you bringing race into it but don't just blame on Khan fans.

    Khan fans has been abused a few time including throwing bottle and spitting.

    lol, this is from Setanta and quite a bit of unbiased analysis from Bunce. Lee Meager's in the studio with Bunce and they showed the Limmond KD and agreed that Khan got a long count.

    No worries mate.

    As for the fight, these last twao match-ups are the first I've been genuinely disappointed with. He really should have stepped up a class by now. Really needs to get rid of FW, and take more fights in the US. In fact it wouldn't be a bad idea for him to move over there permanently, and get a top trainer. Also, it would keep him away from some of the idiots he surrounds himself with over here. They could lead to his downfall.

    I wouldn't just blame it on Khans fans!! I went to cheer Amir Khan on in the ABA's at preston. I went there to watch a brit olympian make his senior ABA debut. So did a lot of my friends.

    So i'm sat there proud as **** cheering for Khan and I start to notice loads of asian youths walking around in 'Amir Khan- Property of Islam' T-shirts.

    Is that not the ultimate '**** you' to all those UK fans who were proud to see a young asian lad bridging the social divide.

    If thats not racist and hate-filled and insiteful I don't know what is.

    And Iron Bull you've basically called me a liar on my previous post when I know i'm been 100% truthful and I resent that. You've still not answered my question ... What is the real reason behind the Khan-Harrison split..? You can't say it can you?.... Breakdown in communication? :rofl Brilliant.

    well there was plenty of "racial" abuse thrown at Gomez last night for his Irish ethnicity.

    some of the **** I heard was "kill the ****ing Paddy *******" "leprachaun ****" "Irish ****" yadda yadda yadda - sometimes "causal boxing fans" are complete morons and have no respect for "their fighter's" opponent

    a well!

    Even Khans fans here cant cover up for the massive disrespect they showed to gomez after the fight, when the MC gave the obligatory "& lets have a big cheer for a gallant opponent in Michael Gomez" the Khan fans booed the place down. Khans fans in the main are racist twats. I encountered them, you encountered them & they are vicious.
