Thread: Khan Exposed - No surprises

What did I always say about Khan people - he would be found out and kayoed within 19 fights

Believed his own hype and a millionaire before he stepped through the ropes. Like Audley is it that the hunger isn't there ? Interesting to see him say before the fight that he hadn't seen his opponent in action and that he was quick learner and would suss him pretty quickly....Well something else happened even quicker Amir


Will he be able to come back from such a devastating loss - I doubt it

Should never have been on Box Office in first place but I am glad i saw it ! Was reading The Ring online earlier. They were saying it was a disgrace and they hoped it was a disaster in terms of sales - well not sure about the figures but it certainly was a disaster.

James Degale take note - stay out of the limelight and come up the hard way

AS someone said before , i think it was KATFIGHT , Khan is so wrapped up in cotton wool he is white. lol

WARREN - FOR YOU =

Khan wasn't exposed... anone who knew boxing knew he was going to get sparked out soon. anyone with sense had money on him getting sparked in this fight.

hate to join a lis of people saying told you so but.......................... when you fight guys who have no chance of getting anywhere or those that where once half decent bu now just run of the mill journey men or khans classics, much smaller no punchers then one day when you fight a guy whos half good and can punch you get starched

he should have stayed grounded, not talk garbage, i mean he was saying not long ago that he wouldn't make the mistake hatton made by loseing in vegas to mayweather.......................... i'm glad he's been beaten in the manner he has because maybe now he'll start from zero and pay his dues......... cant see it tho as he's a millionaire without a world title fight, shame coz he did have talent

Yep, I remember. Good call Mark, I actually thought he would win due to the opposition of Prescott.

Wow, i knew this would happen somewhere down the line, but wasn't quite sure it was tonight. I wasn't ever gonna pay £15 for this fight, but i was out havin a family meal so couldn't watch it by other means. I'm so gutted now!!!

Thats a very good point Mark

Tonight was the night of the failed Olympic stars . Theyve proved that being overpayed early in their careers doesnt give them time to develop. Deagle will turn bad if he bought up the same way , topping a bill in every fight . I really hope it doesnt happen .

Audleys gone
Amirs gone
Now all attention turns to Deagle .

All it exposed was that he was open for the left hook tonight and it cost him.


A fighter can't be exposed in a 55 second fight.

When Kendall Holt was knocked out in the first round did it expose him? No he's a world champion now.

Exposing is like camacho got exposed against weis or against leija.

When a fighter is beaten over the fight then he is exposed. But when he is caught in one minute it doesnt expose anything other then they were open and got caught.

Just my two cents

.....and up next we have David Haye....hello David tell us a bit about yourself and why you're going to lose


"Well I'm an arrogant prick and I have shown weakness vs has been fighters and really there isn't much meat to my resume as a fighter and I don't really have a heavyweight resume....so there you have it" - David Haye

You could be right about Haye aswell he aswell doesnt have a chin, but one thing he has Amir hasnt is power.

Lyle will prob miss that because i doubt if it will be shown in Wlads asshole

Mark TKO was saying it from day one and so was Saddo...
I even remember the guv telling anyone who'd listen that if you think Khan is the next big thing then your in for a shock.
I don't mind admiting i had high hopes for him but after the Limond fight knew myself it was a matter of time and let's be honest if Prescott done that to him then what hope has he got against the real top dogs in the division
Tell you what i noticed that had me worried before the fight...
Khan was interviewd before the Audrey fight and said "yeah i have a gameplan and i've done my homework, watched dvd's of him etc etc" and he looked a little nervous to me....
30 mins before the fight they interviewed him again and he was grey in colour and looked and sounded as if he had flu (NOT making any excuses but he didn't appear all their) and said the total opposite to what he did earlier..
"Well i've been down before and i can recover fast if knocked down etc
He looked like a scared little boy.
Then when he appeared before he started his ringwalk he looked absolutely terrified almost as if he knew he was gonna get a beating and looked to me very reluctant to get in the ring at all.

Seen it so many times when fighters lose there head during that walk..
Lacy was shitting footballs when he walked in against Calzaghe and never got out of first gear.
Maybe it's the bowl like MEN itself that has that effect on fighters (anyone who's been will know what i mean) i don't know.
Why Khan engaged him centre ring from the off was beyond me too as he knew he could bang and he showed inexperience by stumbling toward Prescott again after the first KO (should have been stopped then imo as he was all over the shop).
Bottom line is that Prescott is a murderous puncher and for all the skill Khan posseses it was only a mtter of time during that fight till Prescott caught him so better it happened that way than get the kid seriously hurt.
I hold my hands up and got Khan wrong and was somewhat swept up in the Hype (maybe a sideline of meeting and interviewing him before he turned pro..i liked him , he was a nice kid and he was British and we don't often get talent like that over here on our small island)
Bad luck Amir and i'm sure he'll bounce back but as the same fighter...Hmmmmm big ask!!
Great point about Degale Mark.

Thing is Haye is proven world-class chinny or not. He won 3 world titles Khan fought one guy his weight and lost......... big difference.

Khan was put down by a lighter Mike Gomez , who for the record wasnt a massive puncher even in his own weight class , he was put down by Willie Limond a guy with 1 stoppage , then Khan fights a guy with world class power , and lasts 54 seconds , so in a way you are right , it wasnt just this fight that exposed Khan , its the other reasons i gave also.
Khan is not going to beat a power puncher with a chin, plain and simple.

Im only glad I didnt pay money to watch that 54 seconds of fun
