Haroon Khan beats Selby and puts the cat among the pigeons

[palooka]

Yafai is a talented fighter.

I think that at the level where people are going to national training camps and to the Commonwealth Games there are no 'lucky' participants. All are are talented. Khan has done well for Pakistan; well done to him; he has shown a lot of immaturity outside of the ring IMO. He'd be better keeping quite and proving people wrong in the ring. (When he turns pro there'll be as many turn out to watch as demonstrate against his 'outing').

He's the squirts latest tweet:


harrykingkhan: @amirkingkhan that mcracken or what ever his name is needs pull his finger out never seen this guy but ad love to see him and just abuse him

[palooka]

He ought to stop digging; Robert McCracken was a class boxer and is a class trainer, he's not corrupt. If I thought about it more I'd probably think that Haroon wanted special treatment/privilege because of his elder brothers achievements. He'll feel better in himself when he does well for Pakistan.

What is with these Khan kids? First Amir wants to torture girls now Harry wants to abuse Mcracken.

These two need watching

[yiddo14]

I meant to say he is a very talented fighter. Clear number 1.

I wonder if Haroon or Amir for that matter would be so vocal in the presence of Rob?

It's a shame they seem to lack the class to just focus on his acievement

[terminator]

why is there no mention of Selby's unprofessional comments and lack of sportmanship?

[Craig14]

What did he say? I watched the fight and thought Khan got a gift. If Selby was p.ssed off he has every right to be.

[terminator]

What did he say? I missed the fight...

before the fight:
Selby said: “Haroon’s had many chances with the GB squad but ended up getting hurt. I’m not the greatest at
sparring but I still did him. He rushes in without thinking and I’ll just pick him off.”

Not suprisingly he didn't congratulate Khan on the fight or talk to the media

Thats not really being disrespectful,just him giving his thoughts on events!

[wadey]

I don't really know what Haroon's problem is. It should be a dream for him representing his true country, so why does he feel the need to spout of about not being selected by GB.

Would love to see the little twerp get KO'd in his next fight!!!

[THEBUTCH]

I thought Selby looked good value for a win and it's him I feel for in all this. The Khan's are a disgrace.

[jamesmcdonnell]

Classy Amir.

Is that def Amir Khan's account?

I think he has to learn the difference between saying things to his pals and saying things publicly

Absolutely it's his account. The guy is never off it, with pics of what he's eating for breakfast most days.

Really? I find it amazing that he and his people would allow him to spout off such rubbish, is this account really verified as being Khan's own?

Yes mate, these are their real accounts unfortunately. There is no doubt out that. They access them just like a text message on a phone. If only pac-man realized what a mong he is dragging around his country.

Harrys Latest: Tried my hardest in the ring Am suprised they gave me 3 points ref was english and kept warnin me for no reason wen he was the dirty fighter

The white tick in the blue bubble by his name means that he verified (with Twitter) that the account is his (by photo/video, something like that).

Wow, if the Khans are trying to make british people not like them they are doing a good job of it.

I still find it very hard to believe - define what they mean by "his".

Certain people,mainly celebritys get there accounts verified by twitter to prove to fans that its them.Its definietly khans account as ive seen pictures of him with numerous different sportsmen,etc and also ive seen inteviews on youtube where he's talking about his twitter account.

Fair play to HK, even if it was a close fight, he's earnt the right to get a bit verbal with it.

Reading Selby's comments before the fight, he must be feeling like a right plum, sod's law.

The last time I heard anything about the younger Khan (prior to the CW), was about him getting sparked in some amateur contest, did I imagine that? Maybe I'm thinking of someone else.

HK lost to a guy, who lost to a guy, who lost to a guy, that made the squad. Might have been Mo Nasir who beat HK? Im not sure of the manner of defeat.

#1 Khalid Yafai has boxed abroad since about Dec 2006, when he picked up the ABA championship, the youngest ever to do it aged 17. His last medal was a gold up at Bantam (54kg) but he is a fly.

The lad who had to fill his boots (Tommy) is actually a light fly (48kg).

"His" means "His" as in it is Amir Khan's official Twitter account. He is the verified user and anything posted has been done so either by him or somebody he has given access to the account either deliberately or by accident.

The verification system is in place so that 'followers' know for certain that the person they 'follow' is the person they think they are 'following'. If you follow what I am trying to say about following.

On some of these social network sites I thought celebs have to verify by submitting a picture with him/her on the account. I don't do anything with twitter, but I'm mates with some addicts and they think the verification system is flawed. I do believe a number of celebs have denied the verified twitter account.

BUT, if Amir Khan is actually promoting that username on youtube, then it surely must be him. If he is just talking about twitter in general, then I still don't know. It's just why in all the years he's been interviewed he hasn't slipped up once - always polite and respectful.... its like a completely different guy.

Well that's what he should do anyway - claim its not him and delete the account... focus on the boxing not the chatter.

[SAPFO]

He post what he has had for breakfast, then a pic with Pacman in congress. Unless there is a ghost following him, it is Khan. In fact it is him as he linked it from his facebook, and he is mates with boxers on my account who know him.
