Thread: Amir Khan should've and needed a KO

He had Collazo struggling and even though Luis is as tough as nails, he could've gotten him outta there.

Collazo is a durable guy, having been knocked out only once early in his career.

Khan fought very well tonight. Some idiots even picked collazo to beat him so he actually exceeded expectations.

Shutouts can be more impressive than a KO and khan shut him down.

Yeah. He dominated him but I also think he got away from his jab-right hand which I think could've eventually ended it via stoppage. Khan is a very good fighter imop and he seems to be getting better.

A KO didn't matter. He showed that he is still a solid contender.

Many boxers are successful without being KO artists.

It was no secret anyway that Khan has "can't crack an egg" type power.

He's good to make do without it.

Khan may not have the punch power at welterweight at the top level but he does have the speed and height to cause the best fighters trouble.

Khan did a LOT of clinching.

I thought you hated running pot-shotters.....hmmmm....

Khan got walked down and clocked for most of the fight.
Don't forget all those shots he took.

Khan...Vlad...and Carlos Molina ....are like boxing's answer to Velcro.

You can add Hopkins to that list as well

Well, be prepared for a shock! I can't stand Khan, think his speed is an overrated weapon at the highest level, but..... I thought he boxed a fantastic fight, very skilful. I still think he'd get found out by the elite fighters at WW, but he's been out of the ring for a year and it is his 1st fight in the division so although he doesn't have the KO power, all things considered , he did great. Let's not get carried away though, he still doesn't deserve Mayweather, but if his next fight is against one of the top, top guys and he wins, good luck to him..

quite incredible how people are over selling Khan after last night. vic is a disgrace of a referee.

... and then get caught in the exchanges with a shot, and then what would we say? Every fight Khan has lost, by ko or by the robbery vs. Peterson, Khan was WELL ahead in the fight. He boxed smart and took his opportunities when they were presented to him. I liked the way he fought.
