He looked fucking awesome tonight, he's grown so much physically as well.
This was a legitimate test and he's not just aced it he's looked like King Kong in doing so.
I've been pretty much his only staunch fan in recent months with everyone else preferring to knock him but he's just made Earl look like a glass jawed club fighter or novice.
Khan right now would knock Katsidis out in my opinion.
The kid is truly world class and is the hands down best prospect fighter in boxing!
Earl was beyond shot. Except for his knocked down of Katsidis he took a beating. I expect Con to destroy Earl. And he did
Nobody will be happier than me if he turns into a boxing megastar, but let's see what happens when he gets hit on the chin.
Khan was very, very, very, impressive tonight. I really thought that Earl would give Khan a fine run-out tonight, but Khan was exceptional and practically destroyed Earl with five or six big shots. Hugely impressive, but because he never got hit, his chin remains a doubt.
well it was surprising - 1 round is incredible
i wanted earl to knock him out also
well the facts are he is definitely up to eurpean class, and in a little while get him on world stahe - he could be something if the improvements continue
well done Amir ! (never thought Id say it)
Well done khany my boy!! what a preformance - Pre fight, was a little worried about this one, earl is a tough guy and a step up the ladder for khan, who has just turned 21. I agree with bilboa, that Khan would destroy kd right now.
Cant wait for khan haters to get on with the usual "over the hill fighter" etc lol you all need to get a grip & stop hating. Just finished reading a board on bbc and theres new complaints going round about khan like, it was fixed, put him in Tyson!!, not worth the money etc lol
ohh this ones a cracker pls read - i cant belive how low people can go!!
"It's hard for me to relate to someone whose culture is so different from my own. Khan doesn't go out drinking. He doesn't celebrate Christmas. His wife will be chosen for him. His life is basically governed by religion.
I'm not being racist. I'm just being honest. I just can't relate to him in any way. I try to relate to him, but I can't. I just admire his boxing abilities and I would love to see him succeed as he is British, but I don't want him to win that badly."
this is off a bbc board - there was another one where a guy claimed earl slipped on a banana peel before being hit -
LOL the haters are getting desperate!!
I expected 9th stoppage so i think it was an impressive performance
He shouldn't bother with thaxton and fight Yuri Romanov next!!
Ok, let's get serious here and get Khan in the ring with the K- Man!!!!!
sorry bilmbo i gotta agree with the gangster on this one. Con ;D did what he should of done, anything less would of been dissapointing.Quote:

This is the absolute best that could have been expected from Khan against Earl. Colour me impressed.Quote:

I'd still pick the Graham Earl that showed up last night to beat the Joel Casamayor that showed up last month though ;DQuote:

I actually picked Earl to win :) late on.
but Khan jumped on him , Earl is finished i think after this.
As for Khan , well we knew he was fast anmd sharp , i wanna see him in the trenches and see if he has any punch resistance .
