Carl Frampton said pretty much the same thing as the OP on Buncey’s podcast last night
Interesting.
Should Khan have retired in 2008, Carl?
I don’t think their situations are comparable. Khan was a hugely talented highly marketable young prospect, Galahad is a relatively unknown 32 yr old for whom such a brutal knockout could mark the start of a rapid decline.
Or, he could win the rematch, which will be a decent payday, and move on to bigger and better things.
I wish him well if he chooses to retire, but I don’t think that his health is in any greater danger than Khan’s has been for the last 13 years.

That's right , any boxer loses a fight they should immediately retire without question .
On a serious note, the first one was a strange shot that caught him square in the face, not the side of the head or behind the ear or on the chin , Are they normally concussive shots ?
I've always thought he had a great chin and can't remember him being wobbled by anyone.
He'll be back no doubts .
I thought that. Any shot landing on the edges of the head will make it rotate more and cause more damage (which is why the chin is usually such a good target). But it's unusual to see the face being the point of rotation for a KO. What a man can do with a good doctor...
I got caught with a shot on the cheekbone once, the angle of the punch and the angle I took it at (and i got caught with one I didn’t see) meant my head got rotated almost as much as a chin or temple shot. I felt this horrible jolt like an electric shock which then sort of bolted into my temples, this sharp searing post-electric shock sort of feeling. I was absolutely bang out on my feet, could barely stand. Cracking headache the next morning
Bloody hell, that sounds like a bastard of a shot! Good story

He was exposed last night, he has no punch resistance whatsoever. He was never as good as people claimed, certainly not a world level operator. Kiko seemed to recognise he had no power to trouble him and had worked him out with how to close the distance by the 4th round.
He doesn't sell tickets, doesn't excite TV viewers, and doesn't have the chin to be a gatekeeper/journeyman type. If you can't beat an old, shot version of Kiko who everyone whos anything always beats. Then I fail to see where you can go from here. Barry is nearly 32 which is old for that weightclass. It must have been worrying times for his family seeing hims KTFO out like that., he should retire with his faculties intact before he gets seriously hurt.
Absolutely ridiculous! Galahad messed the weight up had to lose more which probably took a lot out of him then people realise , he was winning the fight and got caught it happens if he lost to kiko in a rematch you’d ask questions where he could go but no shame in losing to Warrington in a tight contest whatsoever

Sounds like a nerve getting pinched/crushed from the force of the rotation.
