Amir Khan vs. Phil Lo Greco - April 21st 2018

[KiwiRider]

Errol Spence absolutely destroyed Lo Grego early

Hardly fair to judge Lo Grego when he came in at the last minute to fight the beast that is Spence.
I remember that one, Lo Grego was soft around the middle for it as well.

Reckon this will be PPV?

Probably.

What with Joshua ppv March 31st and Haye Bellew ppv May 5th, come on babbi even Eddie’s not that stupid.

Remember when they did 2 PPVs in one month a few years ago? Dark days

One of my closest mates is an ex pro and long time Khan hater! Even when I was a fan of his and spent money going to watch him a few times, he fuckin hated him! Could never go him. We both know Willie Limond and watched that fight in my mates flat. My mate was animated as I've ever seen someone just watching a fight! Anyway, today I gets a massive rant of a text off him! Knew he'd moan but not like this! It was an epic rant! I think on the night it'll only be casuals tuning in to this over the Belfast card! Unless they've not got a choice! There's a few of us going to Belfast for Frampton but I'll head to boozer when it's done and watch the Sky card whenever I see it! I couldn't really care less for it if I'm honest! Dodd v Coyle will be interesting and I'm a bit annoyed I'm missing that but it is what it is. See it the next day at some point.,,.

Conor Benn on bill too.

What a crap opponent.

[Mimmy]

What a crap opponent.

You talk rubbish.

What a poor reply.

Khan hasnt fought in almost 2 years. While he should beat Greco it gives an indication whats left. Greco is not tbe best but he isnt crap.

[jamamb]

lo grecos not good enough to beat joe elgele. he got 100-88d by a prospect version of porter. he could only win amajority decision last time vs a journeyman rated 256. hes almost outside boxrecs top 100 himself.

theres really nothing hes done to think hes any good at all.i mean you can right it off as a comeback opponent, okay fine i can see that, but he is in fact pretty rubbish compared to anyone of note, lets be real

someone tell me his best result

[Bigdogsnose]

just seems an all round strange choice. A Canadian who's been fighting at light middle. I know its becoming the done thing now to scour around and find a padded record for these comeback fights, but there's surely top 30 to 50 welters that could have been brought in even a top ten domestic welter.

While hes not the best no one knows what Khan is like after a long absence. This fight is purely a warm up if you like but if Khan is stagnant its a clear indication that he should rap it in.

If Khan had already had a few fights and chose Greco fair enough but after a 2 year break its just a 'lets see whats left' fight where Khan if at best dire will not suffer a pasting.

At a heated pre-fight promotional event, Lo Greco pointed to Khan's family issues and marital difficulties since his defeat by Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez in May 2016.

The former world welterweight champion responded by throwing water at the Canadian, prompting an on-stage melee.

Lo Greco said: "After the Canelo loss you went on a losing streak - family, wife and then you go out and tweet to the heavyweight champion of the world. What is wrong with you, mate?"

Lo Greco's reference was to a tweet Khan sent to Anthony Joshua in August 2017. It concerned his own marriage and the 31-year-old later apologised to the British heavyweight for sending it.

After security had calmed the clash on stage, promoter Eddie Hearn asked Canadian fighter Lo Greco to apologise, while Khan later said his rival's behaviour would serve as motivation to "give this guy a beating".

Khan should be fighting a domestic opponent if he's going to fight at this level.

Would Frankie Gavin or Gary Corcoran be too tough for his comeback?

It’s luckiy Khan threw the water. If it was the other way round Khan would’ve been kod when the water hit his chin

LoGreco is close to the perfect opponent for Khan - good record, has a decent ko record against total bums, hasn’t beaten anyone of note, chin isn’t great. But looks good and will make good press.

Eddeh is a genius. However there’s a small chance he could iron out Amir and that’s why I’ll watch. Hail Eddeh and his matchmaking.

I hope Lo Greco catches Khan but I cant see it. Khan decision all day for me...

What type of decision you see?

118-111? 120-108?

I think Lo Greco will win maybe 2 rounds.

Will see if Greco is drained.

[bigjack]

There's always a chance of Khan being starched,Phil the Greek isn't a bad fighter and it's his big chance,so who knows i can always dream.

I think Lo Greco will get stopped. He’s been put over a load of times.

I see it being wide, Greco is busting a gut to make he weight and will be drained. Khan will be far too fast for him I reckon...

[Syntax Error]

I'm going with the masses: Khan on points.

Khan is a bit of an unknown quantity due to being semi-retired for five years, but he can't be that far gone.

He doesn't punch as hard as he thinks he does, so I'd expect Lo Greco to go 12, but it wouldn't surprise me of Khan were to force a stoppage.

[Wa1nuts]

Rubbish opponent. Maybe Warren s card will get more viewers if he gets fury on it
