Vaughany Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I am glad I did, I have been waiting for this guy to be dropped, good boxer but over rated, achieved nothing as a pro and already a millionaire. There are a lot of uk boxers that have achieved more and are working still. Frank Warren is to blame, he arranges the fights. Khan was surrounded by people telling him he was great, he believed it and has now been proven to be rather ordinary. There will be a load of good light weights lining up to knock him out now.

In fairness to Khan, i think he has the hands. He doesn't seem to have the chin though lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly he can box, but eventually you are gonna get hit and you need to be able to take them punches - defence is key and a good chin - geting hit by powder punches for all of his previous fights has not helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 best £15 i ever spent seeing that. best £15 I didn't spend after seeing that He's had a couple of decent punches before, but managed to get his legs back.. this time the punch was just to much for his jaw. About time he saw a decent fighter and whatever the result, he lost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpie Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I enjoy boxing and loved the Benn, Watson, Eubank era but, my stomach has turned once or twice over the years when you see the brain and body not functioning together. I guess it goes hand in hand… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nizam Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 im glad Amir khan show up to fight. If he lose or win im still proud of him. I think khan gonna rematch soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 im glad Amir khan show up to fight. If he lose or win im still proud of him. I think khan gonna rematch soon! He's got more chance walking on the moon than getting a rematch. Both he and Naz are posterboys for everything wrong with the sport, Khan is a marketing tool for other people to get very rich very quickly. He seems a nice enough kid and has made some good money, but Murdoch made even more tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lbm Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Ummm...fail? I feel for him a bit, for some reason. I'm sure he didn't intend to have a sit down quite so early on in the opening round- in front of all the fans and Sky TV viewers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conrad Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 This was justice IMO. Khan was never Pay Per View standard, tonight's result confirms that. I like Khan's offensive skills, he's fast and strong and exciting to watch. That counts for shit in the end though, he has a glass jaw and all the talent in the world can't change that!

drnas78 Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Khan has alot to learn, As long as he keeps his head down and doesnt turn like nazim he will do well. These sort of apponents he will need to face in order to build on his fighting skill. I do agree that he has been over rated and boosted to quickly his still very young I think both Media and close supporters need to let his take his time and prepare for these fbig fights better. Howeverfair play to him and all the boxers that step into the ring as its not an easy sport and can go badly wrong. I still think Amir will over time be come a very good fighter and hopefully go down in the books as a great boxer the kid deserves it.

Bobbeh Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1hLX9j1gEg&feature=related in english Really saddens me to read some of those comments under that vid. I liked the way Khan boxed, but he was too confident for his ability to take a big hit. I'm sure he'll bounce back. He did get hit with some good shots to be fair.

jamesmark Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 At last, been wanting this to happen for so long.. I have been saying it all along to the Khan lovers, put him in front of someone half decent and he will fail. Still loved to watch Khan when his fights last more than 1 round. Wonder how long Warren will stand by him now. I personally blame Warren, 18 fights to get to someone half decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did get hit with some good shots to be fair. indeed - the shots were clean and hard especially the final blow. hope the dude trains hard, takes some sensible pills, loose a bit of the cockiness and come back with a vengeance. people are always out there to make a quick buck at his expense, he needs to wisen up and realise that it is his @backside@ on the line.
