Khan one of the main men in the division

[Youngblood]

Khan has had problems with his chin throughout his amateur and professional career, he is a skilled boxer and I think if he had a better chin he would have a great chance, but unfortunately there is no training you can do to improve your chin, as soon as he faces a decent fighter with a big punch he will be in trouble. Gomez is well past it and was hardly a world beater at his best, but I think for the first 2 round he has the potential to give Khan problems. He will be exposed when he steps up in class.

This is a bit of a shame, and I kinda hoped the bad chin was largely based on 1 or 2 fights where he got KD'd. I also hope you are wrong, but I suspect as many others do too you may be right.

I know people don't like him for his arrogance and ambition, but I see his style and speed and it is why I liked him right away so that negated his words and actions for me.

Time will tell I suppose, but I do like watching him.

I hope I am wrong too, of all the young guys coming through he is up there with the most talented, it is such a shame that of all the flaws to have this is the most difficult to do anything about. But hey David Haye also had the same problems, he was stopped a number of times in the amateurs and has been down and been stopped in the pro's but he has made it be a world champion, his skill has got him through, maybe Khan can do the same. Think if he is selective who he fights he has a chance, there are a few top guys at Lightweight who don't carry that knockout punch. He just has to be a lot more careful than most. I like watching him as well, will see.

I think everyone is jumping on the chin band-wagon really...

The shot Limond hurt him with hit him high on the temple. How does this relate to his chin? Craig Watson also put him down in the ams but he's a pretty big welter weight. I also doubt anybody on here has even seen the knockdown.

I've seen him take a few shots to the jaw and his reaction has been fine. I wouldn't go as far as saying he has a good chin, i just think it's pretty much untested so far.

You kidding? It was all over the news at the time. And has been shown on various boxing shows over the last few years.. Like every Watson fight.

It was clear very early on Khans mob were being ULTRA careful matching him with non punchers.

Limond can't break eggs. Doesn't matter where the shot landed, Limond could only hurt a chinny fighter. Which is what Khan is.

I've never seen anybody on here say they've seen it. I've seen people say 'didn't he get knocked down by craig watson?' quite a lot tho.

I don't think being hurt by a shot that lands on your temple has anything to do with your chin. It could happen to absolutely anyone regardless of how big a puncher the opponent is. Anyway we've bored eachother enough when we've disagreed on something before so if it turns out he has a weak chin, i'll gladly accept 'i told you so's' from you

I agree that they are being very careful by matching him with non punchers. Still surprised that they have put him in with Gomez when he has absolutely nothing to gain from it.

Either way i shall be taking those 100/1 odds by slamming a quid on each of the first 4 rounds for Gomez to shock Britain. Big gambler me

[yvonne]

I've just come back from the bookmakers after shotting a few quid on GOMEZ to win by a streight win at 8/1.Im going to put more on tomorrow with having a bet on naming the right round too!I fancy 3,4,5rounds because if he does'nt clock Khan by then,then it'll be too late i think!

[yvonne]

Hi i'ne just come back from the bookmakers after putting on a bet on Gomez to win.I've put two quid on each of these rounds...rounds 2,3,4 at 100/1 odds for each one!Its alot to ask i know but you never know.Good odds for a two horse race!

Im not defending Khan but thats a good point Ono remember Mundine was KO'ed with a temple shot by feather fisted Ottke, but then he goes 12 hard rounds with a puncher like Kessler and Mundine has never been stopped since, im not comparing the two but its an interesting point to bring up IMO.

[yvonne]

Theres no dought that Amir Khan is fast and Gomez will find it real tought to get up close and personal with Amir,but with the bookmakers have Gomez 8-1 for a straight win then i'm putting £5 on Gomez to lamp out Khan.It might seem too unrealistic saying that but i feel Gomez will just steam in and rough Khan up and hopefully land a hook to his glass chin.

[Fenster]

You can get 100/1 per round for Gomez to win.

If you fancy Gomez to blast him out early, some shrapnel on the rounds is probably the best bet

Worth a tenner on round two or three

I wouldn't leave out the first round.

Although I strongly expect it will be Khan left standing (at the much more conservative odds of 4/1)

That's a good deal IMO, his only shot is early. Don't see this fight paassing three rounds eiether way.,
