The Khan v Gomez apathy on ESB tells its own story...

edit

 

It didn't stop Gary Lockett.

 

TV schedule seems to be full of Euro 2008 matches! :-(

The listings I've seen for Saturday have Khan v Gomez coverage on ITV1 from 10.15pm to 11.30pm.

 

I really want Gomez to win and i have spent the last two weeks convincing myself that he will. But at the end of the fight i have a feeling......no i know Khan is going to have his hand raised.

 

According to the BBC Sport website Khan has criticised former trainer Oliver Harrison following the revelation that he has apparently been helping to prepare Gomez for this fight!

 

The way Khan and his "team" treated Harrison they have no room to criticise anyone.

 

:think If true I wonder what he could have told Gomez?..... I wouldn't be suprised if Khan tries to pull out. :fire

 

:good

 

Nice avatar Jeff

 

i think harrison is bang out of order. all you guys slagging of khan for having no defense our the same ones back harrison. Khan has not developed as well as he could since he turned pro.

 

You tell us since you claim to have the "inside" track! :yep

 

That may be true, but the manner in which Team Khan got rid of Harrison was very unprofessional. Oliver certainly didn't deserve to be treated like that so Khan has no right to complain.

 

Why stay with Oli for 17 odd fights then ? He could see the way he was going after a few fights. Did it never come to team khans attention that his defence was **** ?

His stamina has come a long way but that is about it. Team khan are said to have had talks with Buddy McGirt, have they seen what BM has done to nearly every fighter he has taken under his wings ? Adamek, Hofman, Chambers, Litzau and Tarver. He makes them **** yet team khan think he is going to teach khan some tricks

 

If its true I think its spot on... lol.... I could go into the real reasons why they split but I think Khans doing a cracking job of creating negative publicity himself.

Let me add... I like Khan, i've met him a couple of times. He's an immense talent and if he was fighting anyone else I'd want him to do well. But I respect Oliver and count Gomez as one of my friends so for me for the first time I feel a little dismay towards Khan.

I remember Khan when he was a little tiny asian kid who used to stand at the back of the halls watching the shows. I cheered him on through the Olympics, in the ABA's and against Graham Earl but then the promised step up never came.

All these empty promise from SN make me massively frustrated and i've gone from been a fan, to been disappointed, to now cheering for the other guy.

The things that **** me off....

-Since Limmond he has been matched 90-10 (Earl aside)

-His opponents have generally been no-marks

-He avoided Romanov and Thaxton after calling them out.

-His (teams) shocking treatment of Harrison which I know the truth about.

-A minority of his fans are just as racist as the BNP which I find off putting.

-He called Gomez an idiot... which I find disrespectful.

-He's calling out manny Pacman but avoiding Yuri Romanov???

Its easy to call out the big names while fighting lower ranked fighters knowing that the match will never be made.

These are just some of the reasons why I find myself no longer a major fan.

 

Jeff, could you not tell us the truth about the Harrison split up and what really happened?
