Well Done Amir Khan

[Primadonna Kool]

Amir Khan has just been asked one question that all fighters will get asked, at some time in their careers. And people can put a negative spin on it, but Amir Khan got up, and continued his fight. I gave 1 round to Limond, Amir Khan totally dominated the fight. He was too fast, to skillfull. He was Hit with a combination of punches, and he tripped over his own feet and it was a totally mess. Amir Khan was hurt, no question about that. But he came through it, he won the fight, he knocked "Limond" out of the fight, Broke his Jaw, and his Nose, really smashed him up, lets be real about this, Limond was having hardly no success. Amir Khan may not have the punch resistance of Oliver Mccall. But you don't give away Olympic Medals, Amir Khan can box, and he can fight. If people want to know, who one of the bad men of boxing was tonight, Amir Khan was one of them. He is 20 years old, he was asked a serious question tonight, and he came through it. Give him his credit, Give his credit he is the commonwealth Champion. He has just broke the Jaw and Nose of Limond, he was a bad man in that ring.

Tonight he came to fight, and God dam it Amir Khan won it.

But if you people are going to be bunch of Wankers, there is no hope for any fighter.

Well done Amir Khan.

[faisal]

khans gotta fight a puncher next, if he's to learn something

[box-now]

the only thing khan will learn from fighting a puncher is how to take defeat!

[box-now]

limmond having no success i dont think so.

Great post. Hes not the finished article but he'll get there. Just wish people could support him a bit more instead of pulling themselves off when this 20 year old kid makes a mistake. Great win.

[Badman B]

its the hype people really hate, not amir

[Boro chris]

Sorry-I like Kahn and a lot of his detractors piss me off with their gleeful attitude whenever a fighter has his shortcomings 'exposed'.
But Kahn nearly got sparked out by a complete non puncher.
He's shown skill,bravery and a surprisingly solid dig, but he's still china chinned and the first big puncher who breaches his defence (an lets face it, he's not exactly Herol Graham) will knock him spark out.
Only Limonds total lack of power and finishing know how saved Kahn.

[jc]

I think it was a very good fight, I think we can definately say Khan is a chinny now, Limond wasnt sposed to hurt him at all. but he dug deep and went on to get the win.

[Primadonna Kool]

limmond having no success i dont think so.

Look at Limonds face, look at his face. Amir Khan was too fast, to skillfull to strong for Limond tonight. I gave him 1 round, and that was the knock down round. Apart from that Amir Khan was always put working Limond. Limond knew he was not fast enough to hunt down Khan, so he decided to counter punch. He did have some success in doing this, but not enough.

Tonight Amir Khan was one of the bad men of boxing, he broke his nose, his Jaw smashed him up. Now he is the Commonwealth Champion, he got up off the deck, made a professional recovery and won the fight.

Well done Amir Khan.

[nulty]

Good win for Amir. He showed he has heart but it's now known that he has no chin (as if it wasn't before). If he works on his defence he might get away with it. But the bottom line is a much smaller feather fisted fighter damn near KO'd him. Khan gets respect but he is not the next big thing.

Look. As a fn of Limond, Im sad tonight for him, but also happy that he put up such great showing against a future star of boxing. It was a great fight that went back & forth up until Khan landed a great shot that broke Limonds jaw & swung the fight irreversably in Amirs favour.

But to say Limond got a spanking & only won a single round is unfair IMO. I give credit to both fighters for reminding me why I like boxing with a fight that was edge of the seat stuff right from the beginning.

Lets give both fighters credit for a great fight, thats what I say. Both can take a lot of positives from this fight.

Who are you to Judge him, are you Jesus Christ by any chance.

Fact is Amir Khan won, completed his objectives, it was a technical mis-match, Limond did not have enough success. Limond as a boxer, was not fast enough, or skillfull enough. Amir Khan broke his Jaw, Nose just totally smashed him up.

Its one fight at a time, well done Amir Khan. You can only give him credit for what he has done.

Its not just him mate. The vast majority on this site believe Kahn is china chinned hype job. He's talented with all the heart in the world and it was impressive how he won when you consider he's just a raw novice.
He's still chinny and no amount of gym work or experience gained will change that, and its a pretty serious problem when your hyped too be an atg by the press.

[nufc16]

the idea that as soon as khan fights a big puncher he's going down is bollocks. if he fights like he did tonight, then for sure he will, but you'd be a fucking simpleton to believe that a fighters mentality and approach to a fight doesnt change when he's up against a guy with proven KO power. Khan needs now to show that he can learn from this. Im sure in the back of his mind he went into the fight tonight thinking that limond didnt have the power to hurt him given his record, cearly he did and he'll learn that you cant take that kind of attitude into any fight, no matter who you're facing, you get hit with 3 or 4 clean flush shots with intent behind them, it's gonna hurt.

if khan sorts his defence out, and gets the chance to gather the kind of experience and ring savvy limond showed tonight, he'd have a chance at world level. he's probably gonna get KO'd and beat in his career, but unlike naz he looks like he's got the heart to fight on. you dont have to go through your career unbeaten to be a great.

[Brighton bomber]

Khan has all the talent to become a world champion but talent and potential mean nothing if you do not have the right people around you to nuture such potential. From the very begining I was mortified by his choice of trainer and I have seen nothing since Khan turned pro to change my initial opinion.

Khan has progressed very little since his amatuer days much like Froch who also has natural abilty but has not been molded into a style that complements his natural talents and lessen his weaknesses. Khan has always looked his best when fighting off the back foot, this was evident when he fought Kindelean in the Olympics and when they rematched for Khans last amatuer fight. Khan at the moment is too static, he often comes to his opponents and is the first to lead even though he has the advantages in height, reach and speed.

What improvements we have seen have been very basic things, like keeping his hands higher though he often leaves himself open when he does open up and working the body which he didn't do enough of last night. These things can be drilled into any young fighter by any trainer. What we haven't seen is an evolution in his style and technique. Khan could be a superb counter puncher if somebody ever taught him to counter punch and I don't recall him trying a single feint last night.

Young talents such as Khan, Froch and Haye in my opinion are being wasted as they are not reaching their full potential based upon the natural abilty they possess due to the best talents in Britain being satisfied being trained by decent trainers and not world class trainers which the best of Britain should be striving for.

Having said that Khan did well last night to comeback from being almost KO'ed. He showed a champions heart if not the ability.I also thought he did look nervous coming into the ring and it showed in his performance. He didn't use as much movement as I have seen in previous fights, he often over extended his punches in an attempt to impress and forgot about working the body which is something he has done a lot of recently. He put on a poor performance and almost paid the price. He needs to make changes and soon or when he steps up again he won't be getting up the next time he hits the canvas.

[nufc16]

Froch and Haye, especially Haye are on the verge of real world title shots tbf though.

I dont really know much about Khans trainer, but his advice when khan came back to the corner after the knockdown was just "you're trying too hard mate" cant help thinking he needs more than that. then again he's just 20 years old and still a novice, so i guess the tone you take with a fighter like that would be different to a seasoned vet.

the way khan kept looking at his corner for advice once he got knocked down was worrying aswell. granted he's inexperienced, but he shouln't be so clueless that he neeeds to be looking at his corner for advice actually during the round.

[TBooze]

the way khan kept looking at his corner for advice once he got knocked down was worrying aswell. granted he's inexperienced, but he shouln't be so clueless that he neeeds to be looking at his corner for advice actually during the round.

I see no problem with a young fighter looking towards his corner if he has been knockdown, if anything it is a good thing to be looking for advice when something has gone badly wrong.

It is a bit worringly that Khan has been caught like that against a bit of a non puncher. But it is early in his career, if his chin is slightly soft there is time to make technical adjustments to improve his defence.

Amir can take a lot of heart from getting over that situation well, and remember a man by the name of de la Hoya got caught once or twice against Journeymen/fringe contenders early in his career; it did not seem to do him too much harm!;)

[Brighton bomber]

I thought exactly the same thing when his trainer Oliver Harrison said that. I also wondered why he was looking to his corner. He was clearly rattled not just physically but mentally. He has not really had to face adversity in the ring for such a long time that he now no longer knows how to react when things get tough. But he did well to turn the fight around with a his power which up to that point hadn't fazed Limond. I think Limond was looking to KO khan and that cost him the fight in the last round. Khans punches had little effect before but once he started to walk into Khan punches in an attmept to end it he got hurt.

While Haye and Froch are definate contenders I still think they lack the skills and most importantly defence to be more than just another contender or in Haye's case a title holder. Froch will get beaten when he does fight the best at supermiddle and Haye could easily lose the fight against Mormeck if he can't keep the champion at a distance.

[nufc16]

would have loved to have seen the reaction had someone like billy graham been in his corner. would have ripped hmi a new one no doubt, and khan doesnt exactly seem like the fragile unconfident type that couldnt take a bit of an ear bashing, in fact that's exactly what he needed after that round.

[valdez]

he's only 20 yrs old at the same time.. he's still a kid in many peoples eyes.. I give him credit where due.. Limond showed his pedigree though..

[LeedsLad]

It was a massive step-up for Amir. Frank's match-making wasnt very good this time, he had 12 fights against bums then puts him in with a proven euro level fighter. Khan did well, alot of people look straight for the negatives, but at the end of the day the way he reacted the knock down was fantastic. He got up, regrouped, and came back the next round and put Limond on his ass.

There are alot of positives, he showed he can fight at european level, showed alot of heart to get up and fight back and he showed some grit and determination against a good little fighter. The chin thing could be an issue, but it was a hell of a shot. I think this is the best preparation Limond has ever had for a fight, and it showed, he was sharp and seemed to have alot more pop in his punch that usual.

Good post, his natural gifts (and glaring weakness) would seem to be suited to Manny Steward doing a similar job on him to that which he did on Lennox and Wlad.

At least being knocked down should make him realise that keeping his left hand up is pretty important if you don't want to be hit with every overhand right thrown by your opponent. A good wake up call to sort out his defence, but I agree with you that he may not have the right coach to do it.

[Maza1987]

agreed mr kool

[achillesthegreat]

Khan did himself, his fans and boxing proud. He still has to improve but he is getting there. Limond is no slouch.

[China_hand_Joe]

And Limond may well have been the best he's ever been.

[Sonny's jab]

Amir Khan did really well, proved his heart and grit. Showed he's a real fighter, kept his nerve and fought back to win a tough fight. That's the mark of a real fighter, the ability to fight back hard when hurt.

But there's no avoiding the FACT now that he has a glass jaw. Willie Limond has 8 KOs in 28 wins mostly against 130 pounders. He's a good domestic (Scottish) fighter, but his punch power is WEAK.
Khan was hurt quite badly.
This is NOT "negative spin" - this is RELEVANT FACTUAL INFORMATION.
Khan has weak whiskers, case closed.

But the kid done well, no argument there.

[Decebal]

Limond fought hard and well. Everyone was proud of his showing. I respect him because he did exactly what he said he would.

[Olu G. Rotimi]

Congratulation to Amir Khan for winning the title and Limond for his excellent performance which he came very close to winning.

However I do believe Khan was exposed and it looks to me that he regressed in this performance. No lateral movement, poor defence and a suspect chin. He was coming in straight lines. As an amateur I saw him uselateral movement so what is Oliver Harrison teaching him? When some guys win the Commonwealth title like Action Jackson Asiku and Ajose Olusegun they are seasoned operators however Khan looks to still have the L-plates on.

If Limond had serious punching power as some of the guys at a higher level have then Khan would have been finished. Khan is a good kid and good for boxing but I am not even sure now that he will definitely beat Thaxton. The jury is certainly still out.

He does not have the look of a future world beater to me. He should win domestic level fight. European and world level look debatable at this moment in time. Maybe the need to go the IBO intercontinental and WBO route.

[nulty]

Who are you to Judge him, are you Jesus Christ by any chance.

Fact is Amir Khan won, completed his objectives, it was a technical mis-match, Limond did not have enough success. Limond as a boxer, was not fast enough, or skillfull enough. Amir Khan broke his Jaw, Nose just totally smashed him up.

Its one fight at a time, well done Amir Khan. You can only give him credit for what he has done.

Firstly why do feel the need to highlight text all the time? Secondly no I'm not Jesus Christ, I'm a man who has followed boxing since I was a kid, has stepped into the ring as an amateur and still trains every week, who are to judge Amir the way you did?

If you think it was technical mismatch you know little about this sport. Khans speed gave him an advantage and made him look good but he missed with a lot of shots and Willie caused him a lot of problems.

This is a forum everyone can express an opinion and I have one that a lot people agree with. Go back to your sports science textbooks and see if you can find a way to help Amir grow muscles on his chin.

[brown_bomber]

it's a terrible post that's full of innacuracies.

he's got the support of most of the national media - why should I, as someone who is sick of seeing him brag how good he is and that he's the best in Britain, be convinced when he nearly gets blown away by a non-punching fighter?

It was a decent win, but that wasn't a convincing way to do it. This raises serious worries about his viability at world-level. He does not have the chin to compete with the best. End of story.

Until people stop hyping a fighter who has achieved nothing, i won't stop picking on him.

how would you of acted if you were in khans posistion, with all the media hype and all the pressure on your shoulders ??? . obviosuly hes not at world level yet hes just started out, but he won't be A world champion by 21 but he'll achieve something great in his career

[Top Dog]

Khan is a lucky kid, make no mistake. If Limond had jumped on him after Khan was rubberised, it would have been all over for the cash cow. Khan will get smoked just shortly, in fact the first guy who can take a punch and give a good punch will end this joker. I've always said he aint the real deaL and it was proved last night. Domestic fighter, that is all he will end up as. Hopefully he has to move up the weight and comes across Olusgen, man Khan would get absolutely hammered, cool:good :thumbsup

I will do what i want, when i want, welldone its good that allot of people agree with your opinion.

Amir Khan was one of the bad men of boxing last night, technically it was a mis-match. Limond did not have the hand speed, to hit Amir Khan enough. Limond did not have the footwork, to pin him down. He used a counter puncher style, and attempted to hit Amir Khan with single hard power punches. He did have some success, which was evident, no question. But there was not enough of it. And the reason was, because of Amir Khan. Too big, too fast, to skillfull. Limond only had a punchers chance, he was'nt dominating Amir Khan, in any area of the boxing match, forget the fight. I am talking about technical boxing, Amir Khan dominated him. Look at Limond's face, his Jaw was broken, his nose was broken, the man got beat up. All i know is that both fighters where asked serious questions in that ring, Amir Khan was the only fighter that came through all them.

Well done Amir Khan

Doesn't take a whole lot to impress you then does it Mr Kool?:think

I did'nt say i was impressed. But he was one of the bad men of boxing last night. Limonds face was a mess, the worst thing he did last night was knock Amir Khan down. I am giving Amir Khan credit, for what he did. He got up, and was the badder Man. Technically it was a mis-match. It speaks great Volumes, when people say. When Amir Khan faces someone who can punch he is finished. That right there speaks great volumes about his boxng ability. 90% of british fighters only have a punchers chance against Amir Khan. He is to fast, too skillfull for 90% of the fighters out there. Limond god bless is in that 90%, he had a punchers chance, "he was not fast enough to hit Amir Khan with consistent power punchers, did'nt have the footwork speed to pin him down". He knew this from, the opening seconds. Where Amir Khan's speed, boxing technical boxing ability was evident to see. Limond used a counter punching style, hoping to land that one big shot, he had success. "But not enough".

So his Jaw got broken, his nose got broken.

Amir Khan beat him up!

Mr KOOL when people assess Amir Khan we are are looking at what he does and the potential because he is a hyped fighter for obvious reasons. I have watched all his professional fights but was not ready to make any judgements until yesterday's efforts. I think he is going backwards from what I saw. He is walking in straight lines, low hands, questionable chin. Limond is not a noted puncher. Khan L-plates are still firmly on. I can think of lots of fighters who would knock him around his division right now. I am not sure what his trainers are doing but there is serious cause for concern. For me it is not just the knockdown rather it is the way he fought.

If you seriously believe limond had a punchers chance then either you must believe that Khan does have a glass jaw or you know bugger all about this sport.

Stop the presses: Boxer sustains injuries to nose and jaw in a fight. Shock horror. Reports suggest a bad man did it.

:yep

No in boxng terms, Amir Khan techniqcally was too good for Limond. In every department. So the only chance Limond had was a punchers chance. He was not going to outbox, out speed Amir Khan, that was a fact last night.

Limond got beat up.

[achillesthegreat]

getting there. :roll:

no way. :nono
Getting there is a very loose term. I'm not sure what you thought by it. Fact is he has stepped up from guys who pad records and won one of the three major titles of the traditional route to a championship.

[janitor]

To my mind Khan proved two things last night.

He proved that he had the mental toughness to compete at a world level by coming back with all guns blazing while hurt.

He also proved that he had good recuperative powers going from being hurt to dangerous in seconds.

While some questions might have been raised about his chin there is still a lot to work with potentialy.

[Amsterdam]

No, I have nothing against Mr. Kool. He boasts up shitty fighters, but he's an okay guy.

It takes all kinds and KOOL's support is purely nationalistic.

[rooq]

He proved that he had the mental toughness to compete at a world level by coming back with all guns blazing while hurt.

replace "world level" with "domestic level" and i'm in agreement. with all respect to limond, he's not world class.

khan did well offensively against a guy who's considered to have a good chin. however, since you can't train a chin to become solid, his guard and punch evasion will have to improve by around 378% for him to compete at world level.

[Primadonna Kool]

It was a technical miss-match, Limond was beat up. The only chance he had was a punchers chance, in no other area of the fight did he dominate for long periods of time.

People need to get a grip emtionally, Limond was beat up.

[AllyT]

Limond, in the end, was well beaten but he only got bust up after stustaining a perforated eardrum. From that point on Khan was essentially fighting a drunk.

The cards I believe had Khan well ahead but that was already decided. I had Khan ahead by one point at the end of round 8.

[Sundance]

The perforated eardrum helped Khan out. That, the long count, and the fact Limond was punched out after the sixth. Put Alex Arthur in front of Khan and the Scot would eat him. Khan's one fight away from Fraudley vs Sprott type exposure.

Amir Khan is laughing straight to the bank.

With all these haters, the more successful you become in life, the more people will hate. I am not a big fan, but i cannot help but noticed all the haters. Limond got beat up, look at his face. He's not the one laughign after all of this, where is he going.

its the hype people really hate, not amir

Exactly. If he was just another unproven prospect moving up the ladder, many of us would likely have nothing against him. And if his management hadn't intentionally chosen very SOFT punchers for him to fight, few would have questioned his whiskers. Obviously, there was a REASON why they did this, but when you're over-hyping a fighter, you better not pad his record with light-hitters and not expect people to say something about it.

I like him.

I think there questions over his entourage and he needs to tighten up his defence, and for f**k sake use his height. None of that makes him a bad guy.
