    Re-watching the fight. It's actually interesting to see how many shots Khan got hit by. He took quite a few blows in each round, some were pretty flush. But I don't think he was as hurt as people say he was, when he went down, he seems to have pretty **** balance sometimes, It wasn't a hard KO, it was a series of shots that ultimately he was shoved more the canvas than punched, although, a punch could have put him down with his defense that day.

    But Khan got up, took a knee (Advice from the corner!) and i don't think he was in danger of being stopped, it was unchartered water for Khan he'd never been in that situation before, and he took some even heftier shots after the KO, Limond was going for Khan for the KO all night, and was connecting alot. To Khans credit, he did take most of the shots quite, well.. and annilated Limond in the 7th and 8th.

    Limond is a good boxer, and losing to Khan and Arthur, Limond can do stuff at Euro level. Like Dunky said Limond is extremely underrated and is no journeyman.

    That is youtube for you. I love that site, but I swear to God I have never seen a greater collection of ****s and sad pathetic wankers than you get posting on the videos on youtube.

    Any great song you see or live performance and there will be about half the comments saying it is utter **** and the same people will bother to then troll other videos of the same artist saying how they cant sing blah blah.

    Any sports incident and there are pricks using racist insults or if it is a Brit then there are 5000 Americans calling it a ****** sport or how they would wipe the floor with Euros etc etc.

    Check out other Khan vids and you see people calling him a "paki" and so on...

    I simply try to not read Youtube comments as it makes me want to bring in a secret police who track the writers down and shoot them.
