Lightweight RBR Double-Header - Thaxton / Khan

[GAME]

Even mildly competitive while it lasted?

Yeah sorry Ouma , I would have done a rd by rd if I knew nobody else was. It wasnt an exciting fight . Kahn was outboxing him for the first few rounds, then Mckenzie scored the 5th to Krystanjen ( or however you spell it ) cuz he said Kahns workrate has dropped and he was visibly fatigued with his mouth open .

Then in the 7th Kahn rushed him suddenly and hit him full force whilst he was defenceless on the floor . Did the same with the 2nd knockdown . The bell should have gone but I think the timekeeper was watching the fight cuz they allowed Kahn at him again. The Dane fell over this time but Vann stopped it straight away even though the Dane was up. Disapointing end . Kahn still isnt the finished article yet but against old men like Campbell and Casa youd have to give him a chance based on youth .

Very sorry guys...I only just got back into the house now....missed the whole thing, didn't even get the highlights reel. Hopefully it'll be up on youtube soon.

On the other hand, I must admit I was quite happy to see that Derry Matthews got beat, he's always struck me as a dirty fighter, and it sounds like he was comprehensively done.

Yeah, just a note to back up what GAME says really,
I was watching earlier ... good performance in that he is still winning, but as Barry McGuigan said he would like to see him in with another decent opponent before he fights for a world title....and to be fair to Khan his opponent had a fairly tight and high held guard, which always made him a little awkward to break down...but he got there, so job done.....

But always room for improvement, the low left hand may one day get him knocked out....and I'm quite a Khan fan, but he is open to the right handed head shots...
