He quite clearly tripped over the rope. The punch didn't land. Was harder than i thought but i think he coped exceptionally well. It doesn't matter so much that the frenchy was a non puncher because he looked a weight division or so bigger than kahn. So kahn stood up to his punches pretty well. Stil learning tho and he does make defensive mistakes but its fights like this one that help iron the mistakes out. Well done Amir.
As Eubank would say, "slip slip"!!
He slipped on the rope!
Was a great tester! Props to the French guy!! He showed no fear and came to fight!
Loved Khans attitude..
"I felt I had a little bit left and I wanted to finish myself off"
Glad it wasnt like one of Audleys early fights when he used to top the bill!!
Tc
he most certainly slipped on the rope. it was a good fight, khan did good
think the only fight i remember liking of his was his fight against that guy from Blackpool whos name i cant remember offhand... fast heavy who claimed hewas the greatest and said roy jones stole his ring walk suit idea hahahahha total nob ;DQuote:

I Really enjoyed that fight. Good win for Amir.
I thought that was Amir's best performance to date. He took his time, looked settled and composed the whole fight, dominated the action.
He's ready to step now I think.
I'd fancy him to take Earl and Thaxton apart if they meet some time next year.
Just as well that guy had a shite straight right or Khan would've been in trouble.
The French bloke annoyed the shit out of me. I just wished he'd stop dancing in his silly lime green skirt.
i've said all along the kids not ready and not good enough for a world title shot right now
From a prospect Ive never seen so much air getting hit. The atmosphere there last night must be punchdrunk. Balance,timing, distance,quality, posture, where were they.
Amir impressed me tonight.
I dont think he will be an ellite fighter but thats no reason to be dissapointed at all.
His speed, timing and reflexes seem to be top notch... Although i wish he'd use those attributes to better hs defence too.
His power is very limited, but then agian if he threw punches in ones and twos a bit more frequently rather than those rapid combo's, he might find a bit more power.
Im glad he's sitting down on his punches a lot more too. For 10 rounds aswell!!! Must of been very alien for him.
Good stamina too, first fight over 6 rounds and came out firing at the last.
All in all, well done Amir.
Hope you learn from your mistakes though.
Amir got the job done so fair play to him. And it was a good learning process out there
All I'll say is it's a bloody good job the French guy couldn't punch hard ;)
Absolutely spot on point ;)Quote:

No way is he ready to step up yet, he needs to learn not to mix it up with his chin in the air for a start- he got caught flush on numerous occasions by good left hooks. If that was someone with a harder punch, Amir would have been in trouble IMO.
I also think he also overestimates his own power, he was visibily getting frustrated when the guy didn't crumble at his punches, and as he isn't necessarily a huge puncher, he needs to realise men are going to be able to take him the distance- he was mixing it up at the end to get the knockout against a guy who could match him well on the inside... he's got a lot to learn.
Fair play though, it was a good win, but he needs more experience before considering stepping up IMO...
anyone can land on him question is could u take the heat back ;)Quote:

Yeh what i was tryin to say is he should be learning from experiences like that and his trainers should be realising he carnt take them shots from a world class fighter.Quote:

Down to basics, khan is now being called a novice. Good to hear it Problem is hes been in a gym every day of his life since being ten some novice.
