I was unable to pick a copy of BN up this week - and was curious as to how Claude etc reported it, was it `he was caught cold` or `doubt confirmed about Khans chin`.
My feelings are that BN would go with the SN theme of `caught cold` and he`ll come back stronger .. can anybody tell me which line they took?
Thanks.

Good review i thought.
"His legs collapsed beneath him, his head thudded backwards off the canvas...and only 27 seconds had elapsed" !
"Khan's unbeaten record remained intact for only a few seconds longer...even if his senses were not"

I think its regular money from now on. The super star has fallen badly.

Agreed mate.
To be the man, you need to beat the man.
Neither Stefy, Willie or even that light welterweight murderer Rachid Drilzane were 'The Man'

Boxing news is a rip-off they've put the price up again its now £2.70. I only bought it to read the khan verdict but I did enjoy the Dave coldwell interview.

I never bothered re-newing my subscription some years ago because of their bias,too many pix and continuous price increases ... now I just pick a copy up if there is an interesting fight coming up or an interesting fight report scheduled - this added to their less than reliable delivery I`m buying a copy less and less.
Oh for the days of Harry Mullen when the paper was crammed with fight news and the only big picture they featured was on the cover .. and all for 65p

I think that was about 1987
