ENJOY!!

He quit. Get over it. And no, you do not know that. First of all, Crawford would not have quit. He would have taken the time to recover and proceeded to KTFO Khan.

Khan did NOT take the time to recover because he was done. He saw the exit sign and took it. PERIOD.

Thanks for making sense!!

[Ilya Muromets]

Silly posters reinforce each others self esteem by telling ech other how much sense they make and how smart they are.

But whaddya expect, Illya? U r not on a website devoted to nuclear phsics or paleontology or classical literature or something. It's a boxing forum fer Pete's sake! So stop acting so superior (even tho u r!)

Maybe you should spend more of your precious time at your beloved nuclear physics/paleontology websites so you dont have to deal with ordinary "peasants" like us boxing fans!! I have a hunch the pompous elitists you would encounter at classical literature websites would be more to your liking.

But you'd be distraught and mournful if i left, and i would feel badly too thinking that the peasents here would no longer have a wise and noble role model and mentor like me to look up to and strive one day to emulate, Thus i am torn and cannot decide. Can i be so bold as to inquire what a - no offense! - simple primitive near-bestial barely-sentient sub human peasant such as yourself opines?

IMHO Crawford should have been disqualified and Khan declared the winner OR the fight declared a NC. Also the clown dressed up in the referee suit should get in the long line of refs and boxing judges to be investigated - and drug tested too -but that line already stretches out on to the street and around the block! Put those shill announcers on the line too.

Twenty five years ago this may have been a possibility. Instead now we are in an age where we can't seem to find a single politician with any integrity left, hardly a single whistleblowing journalist left, and meek announcers / presenters.

All of them seem terrified of losing the gig. Puppets riding the gravy train. Sure there's still a few willing to speak up such as Montero, Malignaggi and Atlas - but they're voices are currently being pushed out further and further to the periphery.

Even here in the UK there's very little outcry over the ending of the fight. The focus switched almost immediately to the question of Khan quitting instead of the ridiculous low blow which Crawford initially denied happening! As for a full five minutes recovery - when has that ever happened?

It didn't change the result but there was still a fight on. Where's the criticism/ punishment of landing a punch that far below the belt? Nothing borderline about it.

Come back Howard, come back Harry.

Good post! At least one whistleblowing journalist. They've got him locked up in your country, the former Great Britain. More often they find them fosterized. Telling the truth in boxing is not usually - usually - that dangerous, but a boxing announcer, or newscaster. slips up and tells the truth, he'll be out of work so fast his head will spin! It happened to George Foreman . Yes, there are still a few with loose tongues that are grandfathered in, but they are phasing them out, and all that will be left are the house shills, Max Kellerman and the like. More and more women boxing interviewers too I see. They don't know anything about boxing but they give them a script. Even forget about telling the truth, I miss the announcers who would just broadcast the action - "it's a left and a right" - and skip the endless babbling. Come back, Les!

[oogiebe]

No he's a "weight bully".... going around bullying heavier men with his lesser weight.

LOL!

[Ruthless-RKO]

[jamamb]

the one at 15 seconds doesnt look low to me. id have to see another angle to be sure

the one at 40 is low though not right on the crotch/balls

[ewenhay]

I see some haven't taken Crawford beating Khan very well then.

The ref was useless though, should have called the 5 minutes straight away and shut up for the duration.

[greg]

...a couple of things I learned watching this fight:

1. Khan had no chance of winning as largely expected
2. Crawford is a dirty fighter
3. Referee was not qualified to deal with low blows
4. Khan used the situation to bail out

I agree w/ #1 and #4, not 2 and 3.

[jamamb]

crawford is a mean fighter, i dont think he goes out there looking to foul though

[greg]

..Crawford seems to be a cool, level-headed boxer able to dominate and control the fight with his jab. It's not like he is in the habit of throwing haymakers or punches like windmills ...those low blows looked out of place and if the referee doesn't respond to fouling, why not just keep doing it. Crawford is smart enough to be aware of that...

[ewenhay]

Anyone thinking Crawford resorted to intentional low blows in order to get Khan out of there is clutching at straws

Clutching at something! Certainly not reality.

[oogiebe]

Amir Khan losing more of my respect:

“The fight was 100 percent turning,” Khan said. “I could see (Crawford) slowing down; that fifth round was one of his worst. It’s a strategy; how can you hit somehow that low? He knows. He’s a professional fighter."

LMFAO!

I don't think you should assume classical literature sites are full of pompous elitists just because this guy talks to himself.

It's OK to talk to yourself. It's when you answer back that it gets strange. What do you mean? Quiet please I'm talking.

LOL! You really are funny sometimes! Not sure other folks get you!

[Ilya Muromets]

The referee's behavior alone should have made that fight a NC. When you get hit low you get 5 minutes in which to recover. You don't get a referee yelling in your face, "Do you want to continue!?" Whose side was Khan's corner on anyway? Obviously the guy was in a lot of pain. He just got slugged in the balls. They should have told him to take the time to recover.

That's OK, Oogy Boogy. I think I'm funny, right? No. Shut up.

And you're insane!
