Khan vs Limond

[Cobra33]

I live in the USA and I gotta tell you this bout has me interested!!!Limond sounds like he's coming to fight and not lay down.
I saw some footage of him on youtube and it seems he's putting EVERYTHING into this bout.He's not talking trash,or trying to hype this bout.He's basically saying come fight time he's gonna be ready to the best of his ability.Gotta respect that win,lose or draw. Although I hope he wins:yep

[Dunky McCafferty]

Its a big step up for Khan, no doubt. However, Khan is naturally a much bigger guy than Limond, & I think that could be a deciding factor.

Limond will be coming to win though, & you can bet your bottom dollar on that. Its a great matchup on paper, I just hope its on TV over here!

ints interesting for an american fan to like british boxing (it aint as bad as people say) yea khan is the greatest thing since slice bread frank ****** says. so...we have to eat basicly but i feel amir is a decent fighter and would of floated to the top anyways.

against limond it's a proper good pick

[Cobra33]

I love British boxing!You know who I used to follow?STEVE ROBINSON.He posted some great wins.I never got to see him box but I am going to eventually get some of his bouts.
Colin Jones is another .Theres a couple of his bouts on youtube and I have Jones vs Laing and Mccroy and DAMN could Jones hit.

[faisal]

amir seems like a pritty humble guy, for a boy his age he doesnt come off as loud or arrogant atleast from what i'v seen. From recent memorry he's only once showboated in a fight. He doesnt dance on his way to the ring or insult any of his opponents in the middle of a fight.

[achillesthegreat]

Big step up for Khan. He is fighting for the second most important domestic belt. He is still too young to fight Thaxton for the most important belt.

I want to see Khan beat Limond, defend against Earl and fight Thaxton in December. That would silence the critics.

Khan and Limond are nice guys, with quality skills who train hard. The difference may be Khans physical assets and talent. Limond can get the W if he shows us his talent and intangiables are underrated i.e. strength, speed, power, chin, heart etc

[stake501]

Tough one for Khan as Limond is a good little boxer who may not carry one punch knockout power but can certainly dig a bit. He is saying the right things like ALL of Khan's previous opponents, as in he is coming to fight and stopo the khan train etc...

Lets see what they both got. I see Khan winning by pretty comfortable UD. Now if he is sparkles and takes Limond out early, i hope I dont see the Limond is a bum style threads.

Earl I dont think can cause Khan too many problems, but Thaxton is a good fighter who should be mixing it around the world stage. Lets see him versus Katsidis

For me a fight in December with Thaxton is too early, and should be delayed for a year at least, where hopefully Khan will go to America and Europe and fight more regularly against good international opposition especiallly Mexicans, Peurto Ricans, and Eastern Europeans. This ultimately will do him the world of good and build up some ring savvy which is what he misses at the moment.

There is no rush at all, he is 20 years old. Whatever he says about being champion by 21 etc should be written off as the voraciousness of youth. He has plenty of time to win titles later.

have you seen the davison fight...after 48 hours noticed he walks into a ring for a world champion title fight davison a pure southpaw brawler who was a scary scary guy and steve just took him apart and showed him a boxing clinic. great fight great fighter
also the duke mckenzie fight was an epic using his reach and hieght he powered his way throgh with a jab and techncal abilities

Willie most likely won't win, but everyone knows I'd be doing a jig with Dunky on the bagpipes if he somehow produced an adequate enough power shot to crack that baby chin.:rofl

Then I'd get pissed out of my mind on Vodka+Irn Bru mixed drinks in celebration.

That would be the final nail in the coffin for British boxing after the Harrison - Sprott disaster.

[hopkinsfan07]

Limond is nothing i think this will be over by the 5th Limond has never been in with anyone of khans level and will get beat badly

unless khan wants another UD

[NOrth]

yes i think Arthur is good not world class and diddent he ko limond in
7-8 rounds but Arthur at 15-0 isent as good as khan at 12-0

But my point stands Limond has never beaten anyone yet and will get knocked out by khan in side 5 rounds

why are you bored of me because i said a scotish fighter was crap lol

Well, I was just joking with you cos you said Limond didnt stand a chance. However, I didnt know what you really meant was that you think scottish fighters are crap.

Thanks for clearing that one up for me. Now I have a proper reason to ignore you.

no you misunderstood me i said a scotish fighter was crap not all of them just Limond

there are alot of good scottish fighters Scott Harrison, Barry Morrison, and John Simpson who i felt was robbed badly against Derry Matthews

Should be a great fight. I personally heavily favour Khan to take it, but Limond is no mug. Hes got great heart and a good engine and can definitely bang a bit. If all the "khan has a glass chin" guys are right then he could definitely make it hard for Amir. Im going for a late stoppage in Khans favour, but with Limond pushing him pretty hard all the way down.

Even if Khan gets stunned proper* or put on his ass, the battle is won for me, because for all of Willie's good qualities as a fighter, hitting is not one of them.

This will prove that Khan can't take an elite level shot, hell, not even a proper Domestic banger's shot and that the entire campaign to promote and exploit him was useless and damaging to British Boxing in ways that most didn't see and piss on the greedy establishment and the moronic fans.

Oh yeah!:respect

i can see khan taking a clean shot to the chin, not going down, and then several threads being started about how he was hurt...

nah...sorry amsterdam, but to prove the glass chin theory beyond doubt he has to go down and not get up, or get up but be visibly hurt.

[achillesthegreat]

British boxing NEEDS Amir Khan. It NEEDS Khan to win AND it NEEDS Khan to win IMPRESSIVELY.

We have Hatton and Calzaghe who are sure things but after that we are lacking TRUE class. Khan, Haye, Enzo and co need to step up for us. I'm rooting for them. They can capture the publics imaginations. Something the odd guy like Woods can't. You NEED to capture the publics imagination.

[David UK]

I'm really looking forward to this one, although as good as Limond is,Khan is a bit special, and I think Khan will stop him before halfway

Im sure theyre working on his defence in the gym anyway. Look at the improvement Harrison had on Moores defence.

Imagine back in the day if you were ranting about how Robinson and Ali couldn't take a shot. Especially after you'd seen who dropped and stunned them. Damn, hindsight would make you look like a cock!
