I do, but I also feel like he needed this. It's good to be confident, but he has been arrogant. I do hope he's not another Audley Harrison. :evil:

allegedly's done. Who's he got now?? NOONE!

I'm completely torn right now because I like Khan, hate Warren.

I dont ever seen Khan regrouping. There's losses, there's stoppage losses ... and then there's "You got KTFO!" losses.

I watched it on a great stream - clear as a bell and good sound.

Yes, after the first Jab I knew Khan was done.

Khan was rrrrrrrrocked to ois boots - he almost slept on the 2nd knockdown.

Did DG buy de ppv? me say NO NO NO!

Feel a bit sorry for Khan but SKY chagring £15.00 makes it a little easier to think he deserved it.

NO chin.


:D

thank god warren and sky got what they deserved for making this ppv. ITV must be loving this

ps i watched it on stream as well got to enjoy the show for free.
Watched it on a free stream too. Got to see a proper, enjoyable boxing match (Cook v Arthur). Then Sky, Frank and the Khan's pay for their greed in the worst way. To top it off i missed Audley stink it out and got on line half way through Cook Arthur round 1

Nice. :D

I think that Boxrec should put out a press release that the British forum cursed this PPV and they before they think about putting on another one they should get our approval.

To anyone who missed it i will upload the fight in the morning (in the unlikely case its not already on youtube by then)

Not really, it opens the door for better fighters to come through. Khan has done very well off of his silver medal, and is no doubt, even at this stage of his life financially secure.

He's finished at anything approaching....well any kind of level - Whoever he fights now will go looking for him, and I'd fancy pretty much anyone with a decent dig to have him over.

Well and truly exposed.

Yeah, isn't it that they can't eat during the day. Can still eat when it's dark. I doubt anything that would compromise a PPV would be allowed in preparing for a fight.

I love it how some people are now trying to talk up Breidis Prescott as if he wasn't just a limited fighter who was still good enough to destroy a guy who was an utter fraud from the start.

Khan's chin, and a natural lightweight puncher, was the problem.

Emma, it was like khan v earl in reverse but even better 54 secs and Khan looked like he had just supped 20 lagers. He got up and was dropped on his back, he tried to get up but fell forwards. Fight over.

Khan is chinny as hell,he could not take it,Amirs chin has got worse and worse,when Prescot decked Khan ,Amirs eyes were in orbit,Amir was in Lala land

I dont think Prescot hit him that hard,Khan is weight drained and his body is saying no more,Khans chin would be better at welterweight but can you imagine world class welterweights teeing of on Khan ? ,stroll on, Khan could end up in a coma

I think the scales have ruined Khan, i have seen it before in boxing

I'm not getting on any bandwagon regarding Prscott

I said from the start that I was excited by the fight. I noted that he had jst thought cab drivers and was taken the distance by the first decent dude( on paper) he fough. However I cited the fact that he was tall, a natural leightweight and had an excellent knockout percntage

And he sure the hell wasn't slow was he. He hit Khan with one bodyshot and I thought oh dear, Khan is in trouble. Now its for Haye to save British boxing

Disagree Class Boxer,

Khan has never (as far as I can remember) needed two attempts to make the weight and he's never looked ill or gaunt at the weigh in... Prescott looked more gaunt.

Plus - it wasn't flash KD vs the light punching Watson 4 years ago (when Khan had no problems making the weight) - it was a hard KD with the head guard on.

He's chinny, end off... just thought he would have treated Prescott with more respect than he did Gomez.

Better fighters like who? Were thin on the ground for prospects right now. Khan has excellent ability outside of his durability. And Wlad has a shitty chin and has become number 1 heavyweight, who thought that would happen after Sanders and Brewster battered him back to back

I still think Khan beats Murray/Thaxton etc who aren't 5'11 freaks of nature with huge power.

This fighter reminds me of Victoriano Sosa, and look how Floyd handled him. People at the time were saying "Floyd boxed too defensively" and criticising him for it, but now you know why.
