    Romanov beat the british champion. End of story.
    he looked sharpe , but that doesnt make him the next big thing in the division.
    Jon Thaxton isnt world class so how can beating the crap out of him make you world class

    As for Khan , Romanov would be a good test for him.

    He is European Champion making decent defences. Yeah Thaxton is British level but Romanov did absolutely nothing wrong. He long as good as you can against a southpaw puncher. He rocked Thaxton on numerous occasions. He he hits Khan clean, Khan is going down.

    Burton stopped a younger version of Thaxton too but it was conosidered an easy comeback for Thaxton and Burton was trailing in that fight .

    In this fight Jono was up for it but was outclassed from the outset . Its not beating Jon that makes him world class its teh way he did it . Good balance , impressive punch picking . Great class for a young guy . He is defo improving .

    Looking good against Thaxton doesn't make you world class tho.

    Thaxton isn't even close to world class.

    As for Romanov creaming Kahn, i don't think so. He's good but let's see him deal with Kahn's speed and combinations.

    I thought Romanov was heading for world-class a while back, then he seemed to go off the boil a bit with the loss to Earl (reckon the excuses for that loss, mainly rustiness are well valid) but looked excellent against Thaxton.

    Khan's mob have hinted at a Romanov match after Khan's last couple of fights.. bet they dont after tonight.

    He was coming of a long lay off and even then put Earl down, but the way he destroyed Thaxton was quality. Exciting fighter who has wasted his career. WTF!!!

    So basically you're arguing for the sake of arguing because you're not reading what I'm saying. Beating Thaxton isn't what is making him world class, but its how he deals with the situation. Excellent balance, decent defence and completly nulifying his opponents attacks. He put together a clever gameplan and seems to be able to adapt to different styles. Tell me what he did wrong there?

    See now thats fairplay. A fight with him and Khan after last nights preformance would let me know who the real challenger is.

    What a complete waste he has not fought in 2 years, why? Unless he is dead that is.

    Burton ,on his day could be a match for just about anyone.
    Thaxton is a good fighter but a bit past his best.

    I think Romanov is a solid top 10 guy. I'd like to see Khan matched up against him next! Romanov is the sort of opponent Khan needs to fight to test himself on the world level. I think it would be a big step up for Khan & better for his development than fighting Thaxton
