Round-by-Round: Amir Khan vs. Samuel Vargas - 8 September 2018

[Neil Gee]

Ref isn't doing Vargas any favours.

[handsofstone]

Haha fvck sake Khan, saved by the bell again

[Old Jack J]

Even gave a little talk to give Khan more time....

[Neil Gee]

Haha fvck sake Khan, saved by the bell again

Yep

[Exoddus]

Khan almost down again.

[qatarm]

Ref is doing all he can for Khan here.
Not good

[Neil Gee]

Vargas going to go for it in the last.

[TheLeprechaun]

O Connor is disgraceful as usual

[handsofstone]

Terry O'Connor is a shite ref, why cant the BBBC see that?

He does what they want. Blatantly pro home Brit fighter

[Boxerbeetle]

Khan will get annihilated by Brook or Pacquiao.

[Switch hitter]

Khan is done...... No wonder he doesn't want Brook.

[Neil Gee]

Fair play to Khan he didn't give Vargas a hope of landing one in the 12th.

[Exoddus]

Froch didn't score the Vargas knockdown? Eh?

[Boxerbeetle]

Froch didn't score the Vargas knockdown? Eh?

I didn’t pay much attention to Froch’s card, but 2 knockdowns in the same round maybe cancelled it out?

[qatarm]

Ha ha “I wanted to go the distance, I could have put him away”

No Amir, no you couldn’t.

Oh you're right. There was 2 knock downs.

[rossij8]

Clearer than its ever been - Khan scared of Brook

[handsofstone]

Ive got Khan winning a wide 117-106, scored a couple of knockdowns, showed glimpses of the lightening handspeed but all in all it was a poor showing really, the knockdowns he scored were scrappy and the KD Vargas scored was by far the best of the bunch, Khan wide open defensively again, got wobbled right at the end of the 10th, he was trading in the first half, when he settled down in the second half he was too negative, spent a lot of time running and not letting his hands go enough

The ref let him away with murder as well, low blows and held on and complained too much, whereas with Vargas the ref was never off his case, shocking officiating, wasn't impressed with Khan at all TBH despite me having him losing only 1 round, credit to Vargas he gave it good go

[skanksta]

Khan is so ridiculously chinny

its funny because some ppl still argue his chin is decent and he merely has shaky defense, um, no, dudes chin is not good

It is obviously a thing but he stood 12 really hard rounds v Maidana and got a great win. One of the best away wins by a British fighter in the last decade.

I think what it is, is....
Khan has a paper chin, but incredible powers of recovery. The amount of times non-punchers have him going it MUST be a bad chin, but his heart and fitness get him back in the fight.

He is weak rant whiskas

[Boxerbeetle]

A Xmas Day PPV is a great idea, I’d definitely buy that.

[handsofstone]

Ive always believed its Khan whos ducking Brook and its clear as day now

Also does Khan know what a flash knockdown is?

[Boxerbeetle]

Where can I buy a jacket like Brook’s? It’s fabulous.
