Khan v. Limond Round by Round

[Decebal]

Comme on Wullie!

[Decebal]

Khan is just entering the ring.

[DamonD]

Glad Willie entered second, champ should always get that honour.

[Decebal]

Limond is coming in.

[Decebal]

Saltires in the crowd!:happy

[Decebal]

Yeah! The Champ from Glasgow! They even pronounced his name correctly!

[nulty]

I think we'll find one or two things out tonight. Willies about to ask some questions.

[SevenSamurai]

Lets hope Limond has put some cement into his gloves for this one, this might just get interesting.:deal

[Smokin'Joe100]

even if Limond loses, id just love to see him dump Khan on his arse. Prob won't happen though.

[SevenSamurai]

Khan looks so strong and muscular. Limond looks much smaller than Khan. This should be easy for Khan- about to start now.

[Smith]

Ding-Ding - 1st round

[DamonD]

Duke McKenzie's head would explode, Smokin'Joe.

[Boom_Boom]

Lets hope Limond has put some cement into his gloves for this one, this might just get interesting.:deal

the guy has a very poor KO % and hasnt Ko'd anyone in the last 2 years

****** is protecting Khan from any hard puncher ever since the amatuer watkins fight

[DamonD]

Good crowd support for both.
Limond obviously showing his experience, nice tight guard and technique.

[castle]

Khan is still sticking his chin out

[Smith]

Limonds matching Khan right now

[SevenSamurai]

Limonds defence is looking good, but Khan is forcing the pace.
10-10 round.

[DamonD]

Good round. Khan definitely looks like he's trying to pace himself and pick his shots, while Limond's defence is up to the challenge and he's looking to counter. Some wild swings from both at the end of the round.

[Danny Ocean]

ok first round, khan won it, fast hands but nothing punches

limond asking some questions

[Decebal]

R1. K clips L and is faster and sharper. L fights on the conter. Stands his ground. Got the better of K until the end, when K was top. L probably took it. At best draw

[Smith]

Limonds certainly no push over, has some nice skill

[Smith]

Limond roughed up Khan there, Amir took it well

[safe_pa]

Willie is looking up for this, I hope he keeps it going!
C'MON WILLIE!

[Danny Ocean]

good shot by limond at the end but hes feather fisted anyway

[DamonD]

I like the look of Limond, nice and crisp both attacking and defending. Needs to tighten up a bit more though.

Khan's round, several shots landed, although Limond got in a flush right near the end.

[safe_pa]

good right hand from Willie at the end of the round!

[SevenSamurai]

Round 2: Khan 10-9

Used the jab effectively and landed more.

[Smith]

Willie is looking up for this, I hope he keeps it going!
C'MON WILLIE!

Its certainly not impossible - Limond's a good boxer, he for sure looks stronger at Lightweight you not think?

'Mon Willie

Ive got it a draw so far, maybe Khan

[Decebal]

R2. Khan won it. He was faster. Limond went on the counter again. Nice inside exchanges. Nice defence followed by flurries.
Draw so far.

[DamonD]

Khan is quicker, Limond has better technique...that's what is making this interesting so far.

[Smith]

Khans speed is incredible, unmatched only by a few....But he's not using it as effectively as he could...Limonds countering what he does

[Smith]

Ive got it a dead draw after 3

[Boom_Boom]

does limond's punches have any snap at all

[SevenSamurai]

Round 3:

Khans is leaving his chin in the air, but Limond does not have the power when he catches him to hurt him. Khan lands the harder shots.

Khan 10-9.

[DamonD]

khan's not been a full 12 rounds yet - i wonder if this fight goes past 8 rounsd whether Khan will become exhausted?
This is where those rounds against Drilzane come in handy.

Limond looks well up for it, but Khan showed good movement there to avoid a couple bull rushes. Rd3 for Khan.

[safe_pa]

Willie won round 3 IMO.

[Decebal]

Very nice round. Both hit very nice shots. Nice flurries from K. draw.
2-1 Limond

[Danny Ocean]

limond settling down but he cant punch for shit, hes a super-feather punching a light welter

[elias]

Despite what the commentators are saying Khan has done enough to win every round so far.

[DamonD]

I'd rather Khan kept off the ropes a bit more.

[Smith]

Great punch by Limond

[DamonD]

Limond needs more combos. He's getting good single shots but Khan always lands in flurries.
Quieter round...I don't know about that 'downward right' the commentators were hyping from Limond though, didn't look like it landed (I want a replay!)

[SevenSamurai]

Round 4:

Limond is getting to Khan now. Might have even have hurt him once.

10-9 Limond

[Decebal]

R4. good shots by L but Khan clearly won it

2-2, if anything Khan looks SLightly ahead, but very vbalanced fight. Nice fight!

[DamonD]

Limond takes a good shot.

[Danny Ocean]

limond is timing khan with his right but isnt doing anythin else

[BaronBrad]

Limond won round 5

I hasn't even finished!

[DamonD]

Limond's right hand is finding a home, but he keeps taking those jabs and flurries. Matter of timing. Maybe Willie should attack the body?

[safe_pa]

Limond won round 5

theres 30 seconds left in round 5

[DamonD]

Khan won the 5th, outworked and outlanded Limond.

[SevenSamurai]

Round 5:

Limond loses the fire of the previous round. Khan wins through flashy combos and more shots landed.

10-9 Khan

[safe_pa]

Khans round.

[Danny Ocean]

that flurry khan done with a minute left was awful , wtf was that limond needs to throw some uppercuts

[Bigcat]

Khan looking very troubled in that last session.... not going his way at all.

[Decebal]

R5. draw?

R4 was given to L by TV commentators!!

I have Khan slightly ahead, but just slightly. Very close fight.

3-2 Khan??

[SevenSamurai]

49-47 Khan after 5 rounds on my card

[DamonD]

Khan down! Great shots.

[Smith]

Khan is fucked

[Danny Ocean]

khan down

[safe_pa]

khan is down!

[SevenSamurai]

That chin was in the AIR and he is down

[brooklyn1550]

[DamonD]

Looks like this could be the end...

[Smith]

[nulty]

He's hurt. Come on Wille go for it.

[safe_pa]

Amir yo eye aint shit!

[SevenSamurai]

Khan dazed...can limond finish?

[DamonD]

Boxing, eh? You've gotta love it :D

[Smith]

He cant hurt Willie

[Danny Ocean]

come on willie !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[safe_pa]

Amir has to fight like Willie insulted his baby's momma.
LETS GO WILLIE!

[DamonD]

How Khan survived that round I'll never know...

[Smith]

10-8 Limond

[SevenSamurai]

Round 6:

10-8 Limond

57-57 after 6 rounds.

[Danny Ocean]

even if he loses hes been exposed by a feather fisted super feather

[DamonD]

Big counter right over Khan's very low left hand.

[Smith]

Khan done very well to get out of that

[Decebal]

10-8 for Limond Khan Knocked Down!!!

So far Limond slightly ahead!!! Come on Wullie!!!!!

4-2 Limond!!!!!

[safe_pa]

10-8 Limond

Si :hey

[DamonD]

I've got this taped for a friend, he'll be very happy to get it :D

[Smith]

even if he loses hes been exposed by a feather fisted super feather

Im not too sure....He handled it


Youre not giving Limond Credit, he looks a different fighter from before

[DamonD]

Khan trying to return to boxing, thought he might try to go for it...

[SevenSamurai]

khan is cautious and scared now.

[Danny Ocean]

lol is this the same guy who said hed beat mayweather in a 4rounder

[DamonD]

Whoa, Khan looks pissed. Limond down!

[safe_pa]

Willie is down :scaredas:

[nulty]

Limond down.

[Smith]

Limond knocked down



This is boxing folks, this is why we love it

[Danny Ocean]

Limond's nose is busted. Khan thrashing away.

[Smith]

Khans dominating now

[nulty]

Khan's looking vicious now.

[MrMagic]

whats with frank ******
please tell me he has a heartattack!!

[yesihavearm]

haha this is great

[DamonD]

Tell you what, Khan's chin is suspect but that's a ton of heart from the young kid. Whew.

[Danny Ocean]

limond threw his tactics out the window and was looking for 1 punch

[nufc16]

china chin maybe, but the boy has got fucking heart. awesome fightback.

[Smith]

Fucking brilliant round

LImond had a good chin, Khan has a good chin

This is fucking ace

[SevenSamurai]

Limond down and bloody!

Round 7:

10-8 Khan

67-65 Khan

[Decebal]

Limond knocked Down!!! L hanging in desperately!!! Clear win by Khan 10-8.

So far.

4-3 Khan!!!

[Amsterdam]

Limond down.

Don't matter, that china chin has been exposed in full by a feather fisted Superfeather weight....:lol:

All of Britains hope for boxing put on this china chinned joke, how's he even going to take the punches of a REAL LW puncher?:lol: :lol: :lol:

Yet this is Britains future P4P #1?:lol: :rofl

[DamonD]

Now, who's got more gas left in the tank eh?

[SevenSamurai]

Limond will be stopped in the 8th or 9th I guarantee!!!

this is over

[Danny Ocean]

limond

''im fuckin fine''

lol

[lomzyniak89]

this sounds like a good fight

[DamonD]

Limond looking tired, that nose is gushing. Limond needs to keep tight and look to counter

[brooklyn1550]

Khan must have a big heart

[Smith]

Don't matter, that china chin has been exposed in full by a feather fisted Superfeather weight....:lol:

All of Britains hope for boxing put on this china chinned joke, how's he even going to take the punches of a REAL LW puncher?:lol: :lol: :lol:

Yet this is Britains future P4P #1?:lol: :rofl

Nah, i dont agree with you at all, and im a Khan hater....

...He looks to me like he has a good chin mate, he just got caught but got out of it, he'll learn heaps from that

[nulty]

I never said he was anything special.

[DamonD]

Khan looking ragged with his shots but Limond looks real tired, can't capitalize.

[SevenSamurai]

limond is absorbing some leather now.

[safe_pa]

Willie is looking so much smaller than Amir.

[Amsterdam]

Nah, i dont agree with you at all, and im a Khan hater....

...He looks to me like he has a good chin mate, he just got caught but got out of it, he'll learn heaps from that

Mate, ANYTIME you're dropped and stunned by a guy with 8 KO's out of 28 wins, you don't have a good chin!

Ex-posed. Oh yeah.:thumbsup

[Smith]

Khan has looked re-energised

[SevenSamurai]

Khan chin in the air again, Limond too tired to hit it.

[Amsterdam]

Khan looking ragged with his shots but Limond looks real tired, can't capitalize.

I predicted Khan TKO 10, but since Khan's shitty chin was shown in full by a feather fisted domestic fighter, I am sooooooo pleased!:p

[Smith]

Mate, ANYTIME you're dropped and stunned by a guy with 8 KO's out of 28 wins, you don't have a good chin!

Ex-posed. Oh yeah.:thumbsup

Well i don't agree on your wiew of Limond & Khan, we'll leave it at that

[DamonD]

8 rounds down...this is a REAL hang tough situtation now.

[*BOX_FAN*]

R 8 : Kahn 10-9

[SevenSamurai]

Round 8:

10-9 Khan

77-74 Khan

Khan should close the show in the next round though. Limond is almost done.

[DamonD]

Corner retirement, Khan wins!

[MrMagic]

Mate, ANYTIME you're dropped and stunned by a guy with 8 KO's out of 28 wins, you don't have a good chin!

Ex-posed. Oh yeah.:thumbsup
Indeed.

[Smith]

Fight Is Over

Khan Wins

[Decebal]

R8 close round . Khan really going for it at the end. Just came up on top. 5-3? Khan

=This is a hell of a fight They !!!

Bleeding Wullie!!! Pullled out!!!

[*BOX_FAN*]

Kahn by TKO .

[SevenSamurai]

i was right. limond has given up.

khan wins stoppage 8th round.

[Sonny Carson]

Don't matter, that china chin has been exposed in full by a feather fisted Superfeather weight....:lol:

All of Britains hope for boxing put on this china chinned joke, how's he even going to take the punches of a REAL LW puncher?:lol: :lol: :lol:

Yet this is Britains future P4P #1?:lol: :rofl
Yeah I already know he wouldn't be able to take a punch from Katsidis, Peterson, Nate Campbell, or Julio Diaz, but now I don't think he could take a punch from feather fisted "Baby Bull" Diaz.

[Zakman]

even if he loses hes been exposed by a feather fisted super feather

Exactly. Several of us have noted that there was a REASON why Khan's been facing NOTHING but light-hitting tomato cans up 'til now.

FIRST decent fighter - not even a big hitter - this fraud faced and down he went!!:lol::lol: Told ya.:hey

[Danny Ocean]

limonds corner pulls him out

[Smith]

The bottom line is, Khan has massive potential for his speed alone, but he has a LONG WAY to go, no way is he ready for a world in a year, no way!!!!!!!





hmmmmm, im re-thinking, he is a bit chinny hahahahaha

[Decebal]

Wullie pulled out because of bleeding - nose+ lips; eye swollen ! Khan wins!

[safe_pa]

Willie has been pulled out by his corner. What a fight though, I really enjoyed that. It can only be good for British boxing to see fights like that.

[DamonD]

That was good stuff...Limond deserves to get another high-profile ITV showing, I liked his technique and heart.

Broken nose for Limond apparently, plus swollen eyes.

If Skelton-Sprott II is half as good as that I'll be happy. Khan looked dead, but he came back.

[Amsterdam]

Yeah I already know he wouldn't be able to take a punch from Katsidis, Peterson, Nate Campbell, or Julio Diaz, but now I don't think he could take a punch from feather fisted "Baby Bull" Diaz.

Damn right, what a waste of promotion and WHAT AN EMBARASSMENT for Britain too eh?:lol:

[cjk44]

Willie got beat up but showed great heart

[Danny Ocean]

why are you idiots saying limond quit

fucking hell

[Cookie]

I can't believe they stopped it.

[bratwurzt]

Lucky bastard

[safe_pa]

BOXING! :bbb

[SevenSamurai]

Khans chin is grade A china. There can now be no doubt about that.

We must now wait until someone puts the lights out for good.:good

[DamonD]

Okay, I know the usual suspects will be lining up to criticize Khan and there's lots of ammo...but at the moment, I'm just enjoying a damn good fight and it's a shame if you didn't witness it.

[Mendoza]

Corner retirement, Khan wins!

Aye,

But can Khan might have a harder time standing up to the press. He was badly exposed tonight.

[Amsterdam]

The bottom line is, Khan has massive potential for his speed alone, but he has a LONG WAY to go, no way is he ready for a world in a year, no way!!!!!!!





hmmmmm, im re-thinking, he is a bit chinny hahahahaha

Bingo!

And at 20 years old, both Mayweather AND Judah showed even more impressive skills, speed and pedigree WITH the ability to take the shot from some feather fisted journeyman!:rofl

[nulty]

Limonds jaw was broke. The corner took the doctors advice.

[Smith]

LIMOND is a good fighter, he looks very good at lightweight!





btw, LIMOND never quit, his jaw is broken

[Amsterdam]

Khans chin is grade A china. There can now be no doubt about that.

We must now wait until someone puts the lights out for good.:good


:happy :happy :happy :happy :happy :happy :happy

[Fighting Weight]

Khan is a smaller version of WALDO - good arsenal and speed, shit chin.

I've been saying it for months too :deal

[Danny Ocean]

heres his delusional interview

[Decebal]

Broken jaw from Wullie. Khan learnt a lot from this. But he was ahead on points in my book. I am disappointed that Wullie couldn't hang in!:-(

[SevenSamurai]

LIMOND is a good fighter, he looks very good at lightweight!





btw, LIMOND never quit, his jaw is broken

thats just an excuse, he was done and would have been knocked out in the next round. i called it perfectly.

[Danny Ocean]

idiot khan

[SevenSamurai]

Khan says he has a good chin in his interview!

yeah right you fool!

[safe_pa]

Willie did well tonight, I'm impressed and want to see more of him on ITV.
Very good fight to watch.

[Danny Ocean]

khan is so stupid

[DamonD]

heres his delusional interview
He said he made a mistake, gave Limond praise as a fighter, admitted he was hurt...that's delusional?

[Fighting Weight]

Khan says he has a good chin in his interview!

yeah right you fool!

Don't tell me, he was tripped/poisoned/over-vaselined?

[SevenSamurai]

khan is so stupid

ya know what i mean, ya know what i mean.
i wanted it more.

Here come the excuses from the ITV crew, bull.

[DamonD]

Waiting for the KD replays...

[Smith]

Im proud Limonds Scottish, we don't have much boxers but he done us proud there

[Cobbler]

Damn right, what a waste of promotion and WHAT AN EMBARASSMENT for Britain too eh?:lol:
Yeah, a brilliant fight between two young British boxers in front of a sell out crowd at one of the biggest indoor arenas in the country and a big TV audience, the sense of national shame is almost too much to bear :roll:

[DamonD]

Okay, the Khan KD...

Overhead right shook him, he tried firing back but got caught with a left-right between shots, then a thumping right and down.

[Danny Ocean]

he said he proved he could take a punch even though he was dropped by a featherweight with only 8stoppages

hes said in the past hed beat mayweather over 4

the guy is arrogant and has no reason 2 be

[SevenSamurai]

Don't tell me, he was tripped/poisoned/over-vaselined?

The ITV commentators are saying he looked "flat" before the fight...

His chin is china.

[Decebal]

Yap ... Khan China Chin...it's official!:verysad

[DamonD]

And now the Limond KD...

Two straight rights stuns Limond, an uppercut, then a close-up right-left-right.

[safe_pa]

IMO that fight was better than alot of PPV's, pbf vs oscar anyone? :rofl

[Smith]

he said he proved he could take a punch even though he was dropped by a featherweight with only 8stoppages

hes said in the past hed beat mayweather over 4

the guy is arrogant and has no reason 2 be

Im pretty sure he never ever has said that buddy

[nufc16]

khans chin wouldnt be so much of a problem if his defence was better. it was 3 or 4 clean punches that put him down, not just one.

[Danny Ocean]

sprott looks fat

[Smith]

That was A FIGHT!

[Decebal]

Commentator say that Khan proved he could come back from being KD but that he has to go back to the drawing board to learn to tuck that chin, to keep his hand high - his defence wasn't up to scratch - on the whole they are worried about Khan's china chin, for the future. They like hisspirit and drive, but are worried about his defence and chin.

[Zakman]

Khans chin is grade A china. There can now be no doubt about that.

We must now wait until someone puts the lights out for good.:good
It won't be a long wait either. :-( I said as soon as he faces ANYONE who's halfway decent, he will LAID OUT COLD. My god, now that a light-hitter from the lower weight classes has nearly taken him out, can there be ANY doubt this guy has a chin made of egg-shells????

Expect his handlers to take him right back to the light-hitting tomato can circuit. His glass jaw has been utterly EXPOSED!!:happy

[Danny Ocean]

Im pretty sure he never ever has said that buddy

he said it in boxingnews magazine while back

[DamonD]

Should've known you'd be having orgasms over this, Zak ;)

Hoping for Skelton or Sprott to get knocked out?

[Mon43]

Cracking fight, Khan is flawed but he is also an exciting fighter. Credit to both guys, showed heart and real desire to put on a show. How far khan will go is difficult to say, his chin is a problem, but he did not buckle under pressure and caught Limond with some nice shots in the same round,

Limonmd deserves another big fight.

[safe_pa]

Im pretty sure he never ever has said that buddy

Yeah he totally did man, after his 2nd or 3rd pro fight :nut
But he has to talk himself up right? :rofl

[DamonD]

Wish there were .gifs of those KDs to add to that thread...

[Cobra33]

Willie should be proud o his performance.He came to fight and it showed.I hope this actually opens up some doors for Willie.
Khan must be given credit for his heart and coming back to stop Willie.

[nufc16]

yeah, that shouldnt be ignored. there was too much left in the round to jsut tuck up and try and tough it out, and the punches he landed probalby stopped him from being KO'd. though i think that's more fighters pride than nouse.

[Smith]

Willie looks good at Lightweight - His record is misleading i think, he could knock a few guys out

[DamonD]

How did Limond do in the Arthur fight, the only other one he lost? I'm interested in finding out a bit more about him.

Skelton-Sprott up next. Great video package, highlights from all the Skelton-Williams-Harrison-Sprott fights.

[nickthegreek]

Exactly. Several of us have noted that there was a REASON why Khan's been facing NOTHING but light-hitting tomato cans up 'til now.

FIRST decent fighter - not even a big hitter - this fraud faced and down he went!!:lol::lol: Told ya.:hey

You're obsessed with chins.

Here, go have a wank.

[Only registered and activated users can see links]

[Danny Ocean]

wow sprott does look fat

[Decebal]

Damn right, what a waste of promotion and WHAT AN EMBARASSMENT for Britain too eh?:lol:

:nono Limond is Scottish

[Cobbler]

Yeah he totally did man, after his 2nd or 3rd pro fight :nut
But he has to talk himself up right? :rofl

I'm pretty sure he said he'd love 4 rounds with Mayweather rather than that he'd beat him. Really, what do you expect teenage boxers to say? The only difference is when he says stuff like that, people actually bother to report it.

[Sonny Carson]

The best Khan could do is be a Terry Norris type with speed and power and heart. If I were him I'd stay away from every big or even decent puncher in the division but Julio Diaz because I think Diaz has a glass chin too.

[Anthony Farnell]

Kahn should have been stopped then :roll:
Limond would NEVER have got that long to see if he was OK, If it was him who was down.

[Words]

There's too much negativity here, a lot of childish glee being posted when Khan went down. Willie Limond is a proper fighter, a good pro, seasoned and experienced with only ONE defeat. Khan is kid. He's 20 YEARS OLD for fucks sake. You watched a KID go and brawl with a damn good fighter like Willie Limond and come back to win, and yet all people can say is he was exposed! Not a chance.

Chin? Yeah, quite possibly china. Limond isn't a massive puncher and khan was all over the place. Thats one negative. Lets look at the other aspect of Khan's game that he PROVED tonight; 1. Bollocks. 2. Heart 3. Will to win 4. Punching power 5. great handspeed with the jab and follow-up right-cross. People are being way too negative.

He still has LONG way to go, he needs lots of fights so he can gain experience and learn to deal with shots, coz he'll be facing much harder punchers than Willie Limond if he wants to get anywhere. He's 20, this isn't Audley Harrison, and he'll get much better as he matures. If he goes for the world-class guys within the next 3-4 years then he'll get killed. If he's managed properly he might go on to do well.

But on the good side it was a cracking fight, he showed so much bottle when he was fighting back from that knockdown, it was inspirational to watch a 20 year old novice do that. Willie Limond gave a great account of himself, he's nothing to be ashamed of. Amir Lhan has a very fast jab and follows it up so quickly with the right hand, when's got his hands up and he's doing that to people he's great. However one of the problems he has is that when he tries getting up close he goes charging in he gets realy scrappy, he's just a blur of hands. Someone experienced like Limond, who wasn't overwhelmned by the speed of the barrage, managed to just sit back and pick his shots as Khan came charging in. The only cure for that is experience, time, ring generalship. It'll come as he gets more mature.

Right, off to watch Skelton Sprott

Willie Limond gave a great account of himself, he's nothing to be ashamed of. Amir Lhan has a very fast jab and follows it up so quickly with the right hand, when's got his hands up and he's doing that to people he's great. However one of the problems he has is that when he tries getting up close he goes charging in he gets realy scrappy, he's just a blur of hands. Someone experienced like Limond, who wasn't overwhelmned by the speed of the barrage, managed to just sit back and pick his shots as Khan came charging in. The only cure for that is experience, time, ring generalship. It'll come as he gets more mature.

Right, off to watch Skelton Sprott

Good post! However, if people seem a bit gleeful, is because they hate overhyping!

The best Khan could do is be a Terry Norris type with speed and power and heart. If I were him I'd stay away from every big or even decent puncher in the division but Julio Diaz because I think Diaz has a glass chin too.

Good comparison. Terry Norris is indeed about the best that Khan could do. But I think his shaky chin will give out LONG before he reaches Norris' level.:yep

The irony is that Limond went all out to finish Khan but ended up punching himself out. A more noted puncher than Limond would definitely have shipped Khan. The Khan hype bubble isnt quite burst, but it's definitely leaked air after that fight. I don't see Khan fighting for world titles anytime soon.

Yup, the BEST he could ever do is be a hall-of-famer.

Here, go have a wank.

There's too much negativity here, a lot of childish glee being posted when Khan went down. Willie Limond is a proper fighter, a good pro, seasoned and experienced with only ONE defeat. Khan is kid. He's 20 YEARS OLD for fucks sake. You watched a KID go and brawl with a damn good fighter like Willie Limond and come back to win, and yet all people can say is he was exposed! Not a chance.

Chin? Yeah, quite possibly china. Limond isn't a massive puncher and khan was all over the place. Thats one negative. Lets look at the other aspect of Khan's game that he PROVED tonight; 1. Bollocks. 2. Heart 3. Will to win 4. Punching power 5. great handspeed with the jab and follow-up right-cross. People are being way too negative.

He still has LONG way to go, he needs lots of fights so he can gain experience and learn to deal with shots, coz he'll be facing much harder punchers than Willie Limond if he wants to get anywhere. He's 20, this isn't Audley Harrison, and he'll get much better as he matures. If he goes for the world-class guys within the next 3-4 years then he'll get killed. If he's managed properly he might go on to do well.

Damn right, what a waste of promotion and WHAT AN EMBARASSMENT for Britain too eh?:lol:

Sprott vs Skelton was far more embarrasing.:patsch

At least this was a great fight.

Also the gleefull negativity raises an interesting point. How well can a fighter do with a glass jaw at world level?

[stake501]

i actually prefer fighters who chins are a bit suspect. I think you get much more entertainment in the fight.

Did anyone not fight the Limond-Khan fight entertaining. Thats whats its all about

Look at Gatti....hes not the best boxer out there, put ppl love him because he is so entertaining...Chico was the same.
