What would happen in a Crawford Khan rematch in the U.K. ?

The fight wasn't "remotely" competitive? Who do you think you're fooling ?

 

To all the haters who have been coming at me for making this topic, first of all grow the **** up. It's a topic meant for fun to visualize what could happen in a rematch scenario, particularly one in the U.K. Any boxing fan with any integrity should want to see a legitimate conclusion to a matchup.

However better you think Bud is than Khan, the fact is that he won the bout by cheating by low blowing his opponent pretty blatantly. And although Khan was losing and did seem to be quite nervey early on, he was working his way into the fight when the low blow occurred, the fight was heating up, and it was crappy for it to end like that on a low blow.

I can't stand the exaggerations that Bud was schooling Khan or any of this BS. It's just as bad as those who said Mayweather schooled Canelo or Khan schooled Canelo. Fans just don't seem to know what a real schooling is. There's no logical reason why a rematch shouldn't happen, especially in this environment where Top Rank Fighters can't fight Al Haymon fighters. Whether or not a rematch deserves to be another ESPN PPV, I get the argument against that, but there's always going to be some unfinished business between these fighters if a rematch deosn't happen. Even some Bud fans say they want to see a rematch so Bud can get the sensational knockout they think he would have gotten if not for the low blow.

There's clearly a reason for a rematch, and frankly I think those that think there shouldn't be a rematch are scared to think that Khan was coming on and may have shifted the momentum in the 2nd half of the fight if not for the low blow. Khan was marked up in the face, for sure, but he didn't seem to be in any danger of being stopped, until the blatant low blow that is.

 

He was never even close to a point where the ref was even thinking of stopping it. He got hit with a couple of good shots, but he was also giving some back to Bud as well. It was a back and forth fight, and a good indication that Khan was not in danger of being stopped was how he started rally, he started to get into his rhythm. Did you catch that clean left hook across the chin on slow mo replay. He backed up Bud several times.

Anything can happen in boxing. This idea how that Khan had no chance of victory is absolutely ludicrious and it's clear to me that many of you are truly scared of a Bud Khan rematch because of how well Khan could do especially if he was on his home turf. If Bud didn't resort to a low blow Khan may have very well turned up the heat on Bud like he was doing early in the 6th round. Khan was very capable of landing more of those one-twos one after the other. It's all about timing, see if you knew anything about boxing you would see that Bud fought the first two rounds orthodox, then switched to southpaw. Khan initally was confused by Bud fighting southpaw, and he was moving the wrong way when Bud was fighting that way (to his right instead of to his left) But after a couple of rounds of Bud fighting southpaw he started figuring southpaw-stance Bud out, he started mixing up his motion and moving to his left and it was becoming the high speed chess match that many thought it could be. Just that little bit of hesitation from Bud with Khan's movement allowed Khan to get inside with those bursts and it was happening with more regularity. You and many others are in denial and why you are terrified of a rematch because you don't want to be proven wrong.

 

two paragraphs are a book ? stop whining. learn to have a conversation. I would not deny that Khan did in fact get dropped and hurt. The first round KD was more of a flash knockdown, definitely discombobulated him but he got right up didn't seem too hurt by that one. He was hurt by the low blow, as far as Khan getting "rocked" not sure when that happened unless you call the blatant low blow getting "rocked".
