I was pleased with Khan then!
He showed true grit that he wanted to take out Willie and i acctually thought he was done for. But he showed that he could fight back and stop him with a big knockdown in the next round and finish off the fight in the next!
There is a lot of work to be done for him but he certainly has had a good learning experience and he will work harder in the gym. He beat a guy with a lot more experience and who was up for it, shame for the stoppage but he had taken a lot of damage.
I think this was a good fight for the young Khan and a sheer thriller of a fight.
Re: I was pleased with Khan then!
I agree. Khan going down and taking some big hits, even from a weak-ish puncher, and then coming back was impressive. I thought he showed some good grit in biting down on the gumshield and going after Limond, despite the haze of the knockdown. This is probably the right for Khan development-wise, and I'm sure he'll learn a lesson from being put down like that. He kept his guard well for five rounds, then started rolling his gloves lower, and Limond pounced. Lesson #1: Hold those gloves up.
