I think Audley really started to open the eyes of the casual boxing fan to the pointless 1st or 2nd rnd ko`s the hyped boxers get ... and Khan just kinda confirmed it without a shadow of doubt.

I don`t really imagine the casual boxing fan being happy seeing another over-hyped prospect blowing away an undersized - under skilled journeyman.

They shouldn`t be shown till they start to show they have something against similar sized opponents.

I think we were on a hiding to nothing last night, with all three prospects being showcased to the fans and giving us all first impressions on style and just getting a bit of exposure. Never were any of the fights going to be competitive affairs and I won't be particularly enthused until they are stepped up into more meaningful contests (which given past form will be in about 30 fights time).
