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
Blows?
A bit harsh really.
Not that Porter took him to a decision and Spence spent 3 rounds getting him out.

Spence was enjoying himself. Porter was taking the piss.

yep, i said it, big whoop other fighters kicked his ass. porter aint a banger and lol if going 3 with spence is supposed to contradict my post, chris van heerden went 8, omg chris is great!
he couldnt beat joe elegele or anyone decent, lets be real hes very limited and was hand picked because hes 0 threat to anyone a third decent

You might be right mate, I'm a celebrity done him no harm at all. Before the show I think Brook would have had more supporters
Nah. There’s not a point since they have been professional boxers that Khan had fewer supporters than Brook. Brook isn’t known outside of ‘boxing people’.
Brook-Spence was a LOT better attended than any Khan fight ever.
So what?
You know when Buffer mentions the thousands in attendance, how many are watching around the world?

I don't think it's an excuse though. He looked like there was still weight to shift at the weigh in, so 147 is his weight. Brook says he's 154 so hopefully they can meet in the middle
He boxed at middleweight but won't do anything but 147 for an even bigger fight
Even bigger fight.... bwaaaahahahaha
Don't be daft ......100 % it is

How so?
Canelo was a megastar worldwide, a bigger man and bigger challenge, perhaps the biggest draw in boxing, who brought money and many millions of viewers.
I really don’t see Brook being bigger in anything other than live attendance, and that’s just down to promotional decisions and logistics.

Live attendance is down to the two fighters who are fighting you wouldn't have to sell this but the Canelo fight there was only one winner the only interest was what round would Khan get knock out

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
I said it before, Lo Greco is dismal. What was he doing for the first knockdown. Just terrible.
Lo Greco actually looked like he was about to burst into tears after the 1st KD and then at the stoppage

Has Amir Khan joined the David Haye school of comebacks, all hype and no substance?
