Anybody any idea?
Also was i imagining things or did Khan sound like he had a bad cold pre-fight (during the interview)but then he sounded fine after the fight?
Me and my Dad looked at each other and both said 'he sounds ill' before both saying 'he doesn't sound ill now' after the fight.
Weird. Yes i'm making excuses. ;D
Seriously tho. Did i imagine it? And the fasting...i'm just curious. Because if he was, his matchmakers and handlers want shooting.
That is a good question. I had no idea he was a Muslim and if he is Muslim, why the hell is he fighting on the month of Ramadan? :confused:
Yeah he is. I know he fought last year during Ramadan.Quote:

BUT
Surely going 12+ hours without food or water directly before a fight against a heavy hitter is surely a dreadful idea. Especially when you're a little bit chinny yourself.
Completely beggars belief if this is the case (which i'm pretty sure it is).
Not saying that's why he lost....those shots would have sparked most....well those stupid enough to stand and trade
I don't think he was fasting. Sadly I think he just doesn't have a chin at all, it's been proven tonight.
Real shame because he's got all the talent in the world but I guess he'll never be anything now.
If you can't take a punch, you ain't never going to win a title. What a shame :(

Hewas fasting as he's a strict Muslim and it's ramadam, i said in Mark TKO's thread that he looked and sounded i'll pre fight;)
not an excuse for him but a fact.
Crazy to arrange a fight under those circumstances
No he was feed plenty in 30 Sec ;D
haha those hooks would have floored anyone lol
I thought he sounded like he had a cold,but he still shouldnt of got caught after 15 seconds.Quote:

he could be wrong but can't see him fighting during September if he was fasting
going to watch it again now Smash, will look for him looking scared on the ringwalk, never noticed last night
HE LOOKED TERRIFIED I THOUGHT;)
When i interviewed him a few years ago he was 100% fasting then!
you're right
quote from Khan last year - fasts during training but not on fight day. How can he go without water during training ?!?!
If this is the case then the fucking idiot shouldn't fight in September - could play on it as an excuse though :)
Quote:
While most healthy Muslims are able to perform the fast without any major problems, as the month progresses the combination of lack of food and sleep can take its toll and a tired or grumpy Muslim colleague or school child can be found staring at the clock in the countdown to iftar time, when they can break their fast after sundown.
While missing out on business lunches and the daily mocca-chocca-skinny latte may be difficult, those with more physical jobs have an even more arduous task. Professional boxer Amir Khan fasts even throughout his training.
"Fasting makes you feel weak," he said last year. "You have to wake up at four or five in the morning to eat, but you're knackered and you don't feel like food, you have to force it down. I wouldn't fast on the day of a fight though."
