He fought at middleweight in a no lose situation though mate. The Brook fight is a big fight for both and neither will want to lose and both will want as much in their favour as possibleSwitch hitter wrote: ↑21 Apr 2018, 17:45He boxed at middleweight but won't do anything but 147 for an even bigger fightsmiling assassin wrote: ↑21 Apr 2018, 17:41I don't think it's an excuse though.

Khan doesn't want any part of Brook. He's scared to death of losing to him.

I think it’s safe to say that Khans 3rd fight with Matchroom is against Brook. And he wins.

It's isn't a bigger fight money wise, think he $8m for Canelo, he won't get that for BrookSwitch hitter wrote: ↑21 Apr 2018, 17:45He boxed at middleweight but won't do anything but 147 for an even bigger fightsmiling assassin wrote: ↑21 Apr 2018, 17:41I don't think it's an excuse though.

I reckon the Matchroom plan is Khan v Broner next then assuming he wins Khan v Brook.

Re: Round-by-Round: Amir Khan vs. Phil Lo Greco - 21 April 2018
the ideal scenario is Khan picks up a title at 147 and Brook wins a title at 154 and they meet at 150 straight after.
Khan vs. Mathysse WBA 'reg'
Brook vs. Castano WBA 'reg'...

In all fairness that was impressively quick from Khan, I never thought he'd get Lo Greco out of there that early, the handspeed is still there, the 1/2 for the first KD was rapid and the finishing was quick and accurate
Khan still wild though, you could tell even after 40 seconds

Re: Round-by-Round: Amir Khan vs. Phil Lo Greco - 21 April 2018
thing with khan hes so fast and throws combos, so against poor opponents he can really catch them early and bomb them out
i dont think it really says much beyond hes still fast though, lo greco blows

I said it before, Lo Greco is dismal. What was he doing for the first knockdown.
