Should be an interesting one, and should also be an indication of the level Khan is now.

If he's seriously ready to challenge on the world championship level he should do a number on Gomez.  If he struggles at all then I think it's safe to say that despite the talk he won't be ready to fight for a title in the next 12 months.

I expect Khan to win early - rounds 4-6 being where I'd put my money.

I reckon Gomez can do a job on Khan.  Amir seem upset that Ollie Harrison has decided to help Gomez prepare, despite the fact he gave Ollie the boot.  I hate Khan, I really do.  I can't wait for the day he is beaten to a pulp. 

I didn't realise that he supported the 'gers  ::)

LOL

Think Khan will probably win this early.

Gomez is exactly the sort of opponent who could expose some of Khans weaknesses - he isnt afraid to stand and trade, he can punch and he has a high workrate.

However, Gomez is way past the days he was being tipped for world titles, he has lost several times and is getting on a bit. I expect Khan to be way to much for him, way too strong, and for a mid round stoppage in what could be a pretty brutal fight.

Anybody want to do a prop bet on the first time its mentioned that Gomez was born in a car? It usually happens by the time he gets to the bottom tier of the stadium, just before the ringside seats.

yeah, pretty much a no contest this one

Its certainly not a no contest, Gomez is without doubt the toughest opposition Khan has faced and if he can 'old man' Khan then we'll have a fight on our hands. Just the natural size difference (Gomez is mainly a superfeatherweight) swings it for a middle round stoppage for me. It could be fireworks though, depends which Khan we get.

Why do you "hate" Khan?

wouldn't go so far as to say i hate him but he comes out with some ridiculous statements and genrally seems a bit ignorant to me.

That sums it up for me.  I long for the day he comes up against a decent fighter and gets his arse kicked big time.

He is going to be a great world champion. If you "hate" Khan, I assume you wanted to kill Prince Naseem every minute, of every day...

who dosent hate that fat little mug?

Never mentioned anything about killing anyone.  But I never did like that retard either but I did enjoy watching him fight, I don't enjoy watching Khan.

yeah he was good to watch, like eubank ostentatiously proficiant

I loved Eubank.  Thought he was class, I still do like to watch him.  I wish they'd bring back "they Think its all over" and make him a captain.   But without that nob Hancock

theyve got a lot of eubanks old fights on youtube, i was watching them the other day, great stuff.

If Eubank hadn't seriously injured Michael Watson I think he would have gone on to be one of the greatest ever fighters.

For my money that was always in the back of his mind, understandably, but he was never the same ruthless finisher.

I like Khan and his classic style and I think he can become a great champion, he's still very young remember. The main difference between Khan and Hamed apart from Khan's orthodox style is that he seems far more prepared prepared to listen and learn. I hope so anyhow.

I watched that fight for the first time ever the other day on youtube and the outcome of course was horrible but after being out faught most of the fight and being downed in the 11th and really he was beat to come back and do what he done in the last half of the 11th rd was super human, i think you're right, it definently affected him.

I always thought this fight was the beginning of the end.

I think Khan could potentially go down the same route as Hamed, believing the hype and getting too full of himself.  He needs the right people round him and hopefully he can keep his feet on the ground.

here we go then, from what i'm told it's a formality but loving it if he gets turned over!

;tightend;

I'd love to see Khan go on and dominate at world-level.  Be good to have another Brit doing that.

for his weight Khan looks hench!

pretty equal 1st round imo

Was just thinking that. He must have hollow bones - he looks all muscle.

good start- toe to toe boxing at its best- no fear in gomez-still moving forward even with Khans combos- just hope this can go a fair few rounds at this pace

cracking 2nd rd from both, gomez just couldnt find the next shot after the knock down

Wow - not dull so far!!

Nearly as exciting as the last 5 minutes of a football match involving Turkey lol

Khan def open to the left hook but gomez might not have it in him anymore

LOL

If Khan composes himself, fights behind the jab he'll open up Gomez and be able to land the blows to finish it.  

haha great fight

he's got a rock hard jaw tho and can take some punches-dunno if he'll have the stamina tho- ooooft great punches there from Khan after Gomez hurt him on the body-dont know how gomez managed to stay on his feet there

gomez coming forward after the khan flurry really surprised him, khans thinking wtf can i do to get this guy out, khan looked a bit diseartend after that

yep he's got some chin to take that series of punches, not many could have

Khan still trying to be too macho.  He hits Gomez with his jab-cross combinations and then stands there and allows Gomez to hit him back.

all over

gomez has some heart tho got to respect that

you see the look in khans ayes there at the end? knew he was in a scrap hes delighted its over

you could see the stoppage coming in that round after the knockdown really but he'd been taking punches like that since the off, the ref might have let him go the round

Khan was class tonight I thought-woulda liked to have seen it go on a bit more but think the ref was right- he prob had to stop it

Great fight.

Think that shows that Khan still has LOTS to learn, especially in terms of his defence.

I think the ref stopped it two or three seconds too early.  He could have given Gomez a chance to see if he could survive and give anything back.  I don't think he would have gone on much longer, but at this level I think he should have had that chance.

WOW what a fight that was ... made me LOL when commentator said it was like a Rocky film :D

Agree with everything except the last bit, Gomez had taken six or seven big shots without responding.

Ref. was correct to stop it imo.

thinks its more to do with tactics, he got dragged into the kinda fight gomez wanted ,  ego got the better of him same as the way arther did

Just watched the replay there- khan only connected with 2 of those punches at the end there so your probably right. I think he does have a lot to learn BUT I think he's also showed that he's not scared of a scrap if thats whats required. I wish it went on another rounds too but think it would be the end result- Khans obviously just the younger and fresher fighter- Gomez doesnt have it in the tank now

Funny thing is, if Khan had managed to tag Gomez again with a good combination of shots in the first round and it had meant he got a stoppage then, people would have said it was a total mis-match and Gomez wasn't good enough.

Cracking fight!!  Had a few £ on round 4 and 5 for Khan and I was gutted after about 20 seconds lol. 

Great stuff though, hopefully Khan will continue to improve and get a world title fight in the next year or so.

I think Gomez is definitely well past his best but what a corageous performance.  I think in spells Khan looked really good.  I still don't think he's up there with the best though and has a lot of learning to do.

Pretty much sums it up perfectly for me.

I hope Khan gets trained by a top, top trainer as he has all the tools to become a multi weight world champion. He's a HUGE lightweight.

Khan's hand speed on some of the long range combinations was unbeliveable. Cracking fight too.

I was saying the same to the missus last night.  Khan dwarfs the other lightweights, he certainly has the natural strength, power and speed - he just needs to be given the right training.  He still looks very amateurish at times.

I watched it in the pub and the sound was down, how long till they mentioned 'born in a car?'

Ref stopped it totally at the right time, its not just about clean punches, its about Gomez not being able to defend himself. Good show by Gomez, I hope he got well paid for that as I doubt he has many pay days left.

Khan has plenty of exploitable weaknesses, but he always has that leveler in that he will have no problem knocking out anyone at this weight, if he can get through a war with a world class fighter, he'll be better for it. I agree with whoever said earlier that a multi weight world champ he will be, he could even get as high as middleweight and still retain the punch power, hes only 21.

But an undeafeated fighter, no chance, but thats what makes him good value I guess.

You were spot on about the 'born in a car'.  Half way through his walk to the ring and it was mentioned.

Anyone any idea where I can catch this online?

I really don't think he has the drive to be around long enough to get anywhere near middleweight. How many weights will most likely depend on where the $$$ fighters are.

To be honest I think they're just that, rumours. 

I heard the same about Naz when I was in Sheffield.  So many wanted him to fail from early in his career.  Every week I heard stories about him getting beaten up by a bloke in a chip shop about some drug deal (or stolen goods, it changed each time) and every week it would be in a different part of Sheffield where the incident happened and each time it was a story retold from a mate who was there.

No one seems to want to mention the charity work a lot of boxers do, the work they do with other fighters in the same gym, etc.  It's only the rumours of them doing something wrong that grabs people's interest and imagination.

What a brilliant, well thought out, fact based response to last nights fight from a reliable source.

I think Khan gets a very bad response from some corners that is totally unjustified. He always comes across as a humble, nice lad and last night he wished his mum happy birthday - proper gangsta

in the same sentence he also said hello to his mate 'who couldn't be there tonight' screams one thing to me but I'm v cynical!!

I'm more than happy to take him at face value (as a v tallented and hard working sportsman). I really don't see the need to look at further than that.

 have you not seen goodfellas gangsters love there mums

His mate's ill?

Or in the jail?

What was with his trainer giving him cuddles during the interview afterwards, he couldn't stop stroking him.

Not very gansta imo.

I just feel that Khan has a suspect chin and if he doesn't improve a lot imo he'll get ko'd against better quality opposition.

I'll give you a fact, friend of mine who lives about 10 minutes from Khan was telling me that his mates sister (white woman) is married to a muslim guy one night when this girl and her then Boyfriend went to his House which was in the same Street as where Khan lived, when they were getting out of the car Khan and a couple of his cronies came over screaming at this Lad as to 'Why he was going out with the White Whore'  The Lad then took a beating from Khan and the Mob and very rarely goes into that area even now.

LOL... FACT.

Bandit, you should sell the story about your friend's mate's sister's husband to the papers. it's amazing that they haven't already picked up on the fact that one of Britain's top sportsmen goes around the streets beating people up

Thats not a FACT! thats a rumour.

I have a friend who claims to have slept with Rachel Stevens of S Club 7.

Im not saying the above isnt true, probably very exaggerated, but is by no means a FACT!

we used to get the same stories about Naz in Leeds then you'd see this little bloke walking around Headingley doing his shopping good as gold and realise how ridic the rumours were

That is a FACT!

Sister of Bandit's friend's mate --tells-->  Bandit's friend's mate --tells--> Bandit's friend --tells--> Bandit --tells--> blonde poker forum

Sounds like rumour to me rather than fact.  But maybe I'm just a cynic.

And I bet a few on here woulda been saying the same thing about Scott Harrison when he was tearing it up in the ring that it was only rumour that he was was involved in drugs and was acting like a gangster etc etc!

All proven to be true, he was a hero in the Scottish media and much of this shit was going on under their noses and they said nothing about it.  The information that was passed on to me is very reliable and the guy in question has no reason to go making shit like this up. 

Why do people find it so hard to believe that Amir Khan could be a racist and wannabe gangster?

This sounds so ridic! I could barely understand it - just one big long sentence with the odd capital letter chucked in!

So just because Harrison and Khan are both boxers it makes it an undeniable link? Thats a bit like saying Michael Jackson is deffo a paedo just because Gary Glitter is (which I assume will open up a whole other can of worms).

Any story involving a celebrity is always escalated beyond belief, how often have you seen an incident where someone tells someone to F off and by the end of the week there is a story going round saying people were throwing chairs and smashing bottles on each other? Times that by ten when it involves a celeb.

it is if it's in capital letters obv!

rotflmfao

Laugh if you like.  But I have been doing a bit of digging about on this and from what I've heard, Khan is an anti-white, racist, wannabe hood who keeps the company of a gang in Bolton that are on a par with the racist gangsters that killed the white kid Kriss Donald in Glasgow a couple of years back.

I don't have anything of substance to back this up but the folk I am hearing this from wouldn't make this sort of comment if it weren't true.  I'll continue to dig and see what comes to light.

Thanks for keeping an eye out for us

Why are you even bothered Bandit? How does Amir Khan have an effect on your life? I'm guessing purely watching him box, if that, so why don't you just have that interest in him alone?

I detest racism of any kind mate, and when people are putting this upstart on a pedal stool I think its important that people are aware that he ain't so fecking innocent.  He's a scumbag.  I don't think he is clever enough to keep all this quiet for too long and I am sure the rags already know about it but are no doubt waiting for the next bout of racial tension involving muslims before playing this card.

QFT

Yes, the newspapers do like to wait to release exclusive news like this, and of course they like to wait to get their facts straight.

I wonder if his white trainer knows about what a racist he is?

Sorry to keep doubting you and popping up with my jokey retorts (Nothing personal I assure you), but I do think its quite dangerous in general to pop up with scandalous allegations about anyone, even if its a very small sub forum on a non boxing website.

Whats a pedal stool btw?

Whoa - steady on Bandit. It  may be your opinion that he's a racist, but that's not a proven fact, (or even suspected), & you should not say such things please.

We all loathe racism, but please be careful in making such statements which you do not know to be true.

Thanks.

...but on the other hand, feel free to keep putting follks on pedal-stools. Gotta love the old pedal stools.

hmmm been watching this quietly now and bit my tongue...Gary the FACT is- everything you have heard is here' say- just because you have heard from other people in a city a fair few miles from home about Khan does not mean it is true. I try my best not pass judgement on a lot of people, especially if I do NOT know him. I try not to let the fact that they are in the media limelight enhance my belief on someone(I still do not know them because they are in the media glare)- the media can build someone up as much as tear them down(and regularly dig into celebrities private life to do so).

I have no opinion on Khan but I obviously read about him in the papers a fair bit- I have found no hint of racism in him at all and I think unless you seen this incident yourself it is downright damaging to suggest such a thing(I think the issue of racism is such a fragile issue in Britain at the moment that it cant be taking lightly as...posting on a forum in this country "my mate says he's a racist coz he done this and that" is a scandal IMO)

as a footnote- I went to see Khan on the undercard of Scott Harrison fight at Braehead a few years ago- The abuse he got from I would honestly say 80% of fans was appalling but I still dont think that made him "hate whites", and as to your point about Harrison- I dont know any Scottish or British Boxing fan that honestly took to him- he always seemed like a scumbag ever since my mate told me about him beating up bouncers in East Kilbride  ;)

One question- have you ever met or Spoke to Amir Khan to detest him so much?

pedestal - I do apologise for not using the spell check facility!

Another side note, Frank Warren is an incredibly wise, involved and nurturing promoter/manager (not to mention a whitey) - I'm pretty certain that if there is any substance to any of this, he would be aware of it and would be getting Khan out of those circles sharpish. Warren knows all to well what this sort of news can do to a celebrity in the UK and he also is big and influential enough in the boxing industry to issue an ultimatum to Khan about this element of his lifestyle.

Haven't spoken to Khan, but having listened to him, read about him read comments sttributed to him and knowing people in the locality of where he reigns I don't like him. 

Regards Harrison, I think quite a lot of boxing fans took to him,  how else do you explain the sell out crouds he got at Braehead?  Surely these guys weren't turning up paying good money in the hope that someone would give him a going over?

What I have posted on here, is information that I have obtained from people I have come to respect and people who's word I would take as gospel, these guys don't benefit from spreading rumours about amir Khan.  The guys I am talking about are committed anti-fascists and have been involved with the likes of Red Action and IWCA over a number of years. 

I am of the opinion that what they have told me is solid reliable information and I think that information should be shared.  If it turns out that this is all a load of bollocks I'll put my hand up and say so but I think it will all come to light sooner or later, I don't think Amir Khan is clever enough to not let this rear its ugly head at some point.

I have taken the considered decision not to post what I would like to on this thread as it would probably result in a forum ban

Have you not watched American History X, the pro Nazis prison gang traded with the black gang to Edward Nortons disgust. Even rivals work together if it means they can earn a buck.  ::)

Re: rumours, I met a guy who claimed to have had made bum love with Martine Mccutcheon.

Surely nobody would make this up she's a mug ? and ain't that good to look at really either.I would believe him.
