good man, watching.

There's a nasty in that link

Might be just me..

Soz

Chat box on this is shocking, some lolable, but mostly shocking

Just about to post the same ... you have to wonder about the gene pool sometimes !

I did lol at the Gary Glitter joke, did you see it?

no, but i laughed at this reply when someone kept asking

"how do i turn the chat off"


the reply was

10:55redhot25:to get rid of chat *** off and pay for sky

lol

OMG

OMG

lol, Sky will be happy with their outlay!

pwned. gg to him and those  that paid for that shit.

Amazing ..... thats his career up the shitter.

By the way, two awful knockdowns. sick. Well hopefully he hasn't blown his million....

Glad I didn't fork out for that.  I guess the last fight was ok.

Can't come back from that, he was dominated

he got owned tx for the link

Everyone seen it coming but him this is his one to chance to realise he ain't nowhere near as good as he thinks he's and change his attitude and come back a better boxer.Can you believe people talk about him fighting Ricky Hatton christ Hatton would beat him when he's post match mode with 5 chins.

Had a big feeling this would happen when I saw a mini doc on his opponent this week. What a ridicuous set of unknowns to put Kahn against in his first PPV fight. Awful management backed up with an even worse perormance.

and for those that missed the the fight first time round

If he hadn't immediately chased the money, he could have picked up a gold medal in Beijing last month.

Least we didnt wait for like 2 hours in a headingley pub for the Khan fight to come on...

oh wait.

At least it was a wholesome and enjoyable match we were rewarded for our patience...

oh wait.

One of the AWOP updaters got the 1st round KO at 50-1.

Sigh.

what now for the winner?
will he have any big fights coming up?

 rotflmfao rotflmfao  ;yippee; ;yippee;


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Perfect weekend if Murray gets beat now!

I lol'd.

All the hype about him and now look. He never looked like he could take punch, sure he can throw them but he definitely can't take them

+1000000000

anyone know what price Khan was?

Mate laid him at 1.13 LOL

[ ] Shame, I'm sure he'll come back from it

Very disappointing.  The punches that caught him were obviously hard, but they weren't short, sharp punches that Khan couldn't have avoided or blocked.  Terrible approach to the fight in terms of walking forward towards a known puncher with little/no guard.  Very amateurish.

Instead of focusing on developing his boxing career and turning him into a well-rounded pro who can grow and develop into a world-class fighter all the focus was on celebrity and the stardom.

[ ] New trainer did well preparing him for the fight and selecting the opponent.

Hopefully, Khan and the bandwagon will stop believing the hype and focus on developing him into a decent British/European/World fighter before trying to sell him as a 'top 10' fighter.

Agreed, he actually just ran head first toward Prescott ready for the tear up. Hopefully this will be the best thing that ever happens to him, it was always going to happen, I just thought he would cruised to a (possibly cherry picked) world title before he did.

Lol at the crowd booing Audley Harrison after one round and cheering the Brazilian on. At least Khan is always exciting to watch, Harrison represents what is wrong with boxing these days.

Alex Arthur never turned up, very good solid performance from Cook.

Boxing sucks, I'd rather watch a UFC event.

You watch wrestling - so you're more after the spectacle than the sport, aren't you?

Cant believe I didn't bet on cook-expected him to beat Alex Arthur but my mate talked me out of it!!!

That's an interesting point, but I'd probably say not necessarily. I do like the spectacle, humour and storylines of wrestling but I'm also fascinated by the athletic ability and the technical aspect of what they do. Seeing how an Olympic gold medalist like Kurt Angle adjusts to the whacky world of wrestling and Jeff Hardy somersaulting through the air is something that will always interest me. When I watch UFC, the big knock outs are of course entertaining, but I probably prefer the more strategic battles you find at the lesser weights. Boxing just seems to bore me these days and is too affected by outside influences. Stick two guys in a cage and let em fight. Sounds good to me.

How much boxing do you watch though?  Is it only the big fights, with the big British fighters?  There are lots of very good fights to watch away from the highly promoted ones that are there for the normally non-boxing watching general public.

Audrey Harrsion is an example of the problem of what the channels consider good fights to promote and show.

[X] I've watched this 30 times now

[ ] I'll get tired of seeing this eventually

On the radio today there was a discussion about how bad Khan's jaw is.  Some were saying a good punch will knock anyone out, the others that Khan should have been able to take it.

To me it whilst it hit him right on the button, it didn't seem to be  Prescott's Sunday best.

Can Khan learn from this and come back all the way to the top ?  Or is he now just yesterday's kid ?

I don't wish him bad, I believe his only problems are being a kid, and believing his own press.  And not having had the best boxing education / training that he deserves.

But it looks bad to this non boxer

If a top fighter who can bang, lands a good punch on the button it can put down most other fighters in the same weight.

The ones that put Khan down were obviously hard shots, but they were blockable/avoidable.  The shocking thing was the effect the first jab that landed had on Khan.  It knocked him back and looked to daze him.  This would be a huge concern to me.

That's roughly what I was thinking.  Khan left a huge gap with his left hand for Prescott to aim at, but the initial punch that staggered Khan, to me, looked none too bad, even if the knockdown punches were really horrifying.

lol..maybe now Khan will focus on boxing instead of getting his arse on telly?

I think that's what I said earlier - just slightly more succinct than my post :D

Ok, I can't argue that he's always been overconfidant, to say the least.  But he is still a kid.

Spare a thought.

Fancy having to wake up one Sunday morning, and have to ask yourself if you are a washed out has been at the age of 21.

spare a thought?..Mismanaged to the extreme, poorly advised he turned pro much too soon..he should have surrounded himself by better people and keep his feet on the ground.



If he is a true champion or wants to be one, this will be a wake up call for him, he'll sack his management..quit all the "look at me" telly crap that he's been doing and spend more time in the gym, training harder than he ever has before. If he does that he certainly isn't washed up yet...if he sticks to doing what he hgas been doing ever since the Olympics, he's squandered a tremendous amount of talent.

Yup.

But  thinking about it, he HAS got a fair few bob tucked away to live a life of excess luxury and random wastage.  Never needing to do a proper days work in his life.

So it's not all bad then.

Bloomin eck, he lost one fight, whacked on the button. It's not the end of the world.

what basis are people coming up with the spend more time in the gym stuff? He's always seemed pretty dedicated on any of the stuff on him. Certainly looks to have amore professional set up than say hatton.

How exactly do you train someone to take a punch? I always thought that was something natural- I'm not just talking about last nigh either. The little Scottish bloke had him on his backside v easily too.

Don't boxing people always talk about big knockouts making people more prone tobeing knocked out again? They were very heavy knockouts, not just legs going, his head nearly hit the floor at the same time.

He can still be managed to a world title but he will never be a great imo.

No, he's certainly spent time in the gym.  He bulked up a hell of a lot.  It's not the physical side we're talking about.  How much serious sparring has he done?  How much time and effort has been put into studying his opponent, improving his defence, his fight strategy?

Hatton is a student of the game.  He spends hours studying his opponents, studying his own fights, trying to improve.


Like I said, any fighter who can bang a bit will put down an opponent if they're given a free shot.  The answer is don't get hit on the button.  This involves working on your defence in terms of your guard, your foot-work, distance, working behind your jab, etc.  However, Khan wanted to come out against a hard-hitting opponent with his head hanging out asking to be hit.  He'd been floored twice before by opponents who certainly weren't world-class.  So what does that suggest?  To me it suggests he was too easy to hit.  But we all knew this and expected him to have concentrated on this for this fight.

Of course there are some fighters who appear to have heads made from granite who seem to be able to take a huge amount of punishment.  You can can do some training in this area (develop neck muscles, etc.), but I suspect that it's virtually all natural thing that you have or you haven't got.  Khan hasn't, obviously.


I don't think it's a cause and effect thing.  I think it's rather the case of a fighter who is prone to getting tagged by big shots will get tagged with big shots again.


One of the alphabet spaghetti world titles is certainly a possibility (probability?).  But he'll have to improve on his defence and his overall fight strategy if he's going to operate at the top of his division.

ty

That's all just in my opinion of course!

He didn't just lose it though, he was totally in the wrong class.

It really did look that way

bad night for Warren.

they had an £8m deal in total with ITV(they must be pissing themselves laughing btw) and i was just reading that he's being sued by setanta as well.

I dont know what deal he's got with sky but to break even at £15 a go they would've needed 250,000 viewers, i dont know how many they got but forget about a PPV career(in a topping the bill capacity anyway) for a while.

I wonder how much sky have done?

Also i was reading that Warren said his new trainer picked the opponent and said he didn't know much about him :dontask:

At £500 for pubs and clubs, I wonder how much Sky make from PPV events like that.

Glad I didn't have to pay for it.

Is that how much pubs have to pay?  wow

Thread should be renamed "Khan't fight"

vvv good

Just saw clip of Warren interview - he seems very quick to hint that the new trainer picked the opponent - looks like a "not me guv" clear attempt to find a scapegoat. If Warrens not vetting the opponent then maybe he's not doing a very good job??

The slow motion of the left hook .... ouch!!

Ouch indeed!   Haven't witnessed carnage like that in a big fight for a few years!

Khan should be thankful that the couple of big shots that just missed him on the way down never landed.
