Was it a KO KO or was it a points stoppage?

Looking at Khan its no surprise he was a great amateur, he's built for it, still not sure what was so special about Audley.

[OumaFan]

I actually don't get all the hate for Khan except for Missy's Barrera inspired hate which I approve of.

holy shat! A worse chin than Khan? I didn't think it possible.

Ortiz has looked way more solid as a pro IMO. Swings and roundabouts perhaps. Looks solid though.

[OumaFan]

Not that you need a reason to hate anybody, I'm all for irrational dislike of certain fighters, just seems like Khan has a load of it.

He should be hated, he takes fake wins off of great fighters and then runs up divisions to avoid fighting anyone meaningful. Khan is a git, I hope he gets smashed up.

[OumaFan]

Well if he fights Ortiz that would be something.

Does seem a bit odd to leave 135 so quickly unless he's got weight problems.

[Fenster]

Ouma, they'll get at least three gimmes out of tyhe belt first though.

Is Souleymane M'Baye still around?

Ortiz has been floored by journeymen. Khan has beaten him.

It's hardly a ridiculous mismatch which Khan and his mob will be shaking in their boots about. Come on now.

Amateurs are amateurs, deep thinking I know, and obviously Khan has had his chin problems as well.

I don't think Khan's people would be that interested in putting him right in with a bigger puncher than Prescott who's far more skilled. Its not a ridiculous mismatch but he'd the underdog.

No they wouldn't straight away. It's not a silly mismatch though.

Of course amateur form gets turned upside down but Khan having a win over him means something.. until it's reversed.

[Gandalf]

Khan is really not very good, and I'm amazed by anyone who thinks otherwise. I hear him compared to Naz, but Naz had some serious skills and a BRAIN. That's the main difference between the two.

Good on Khan gettin a title shot I say.

He does not deserve a title shot at either weight, he hasnt earnt it, hes still very suspect, hasnt really proved anytihng, didnt really beat Barrera in the proper sense if were being honest, hasnt faced enough wuality and all the rest of it.

But if boxing is run in a way where people can walk into title fights without having to prove themselves 1st then why not Khan. Hes not the 1st, hes not the last. Its not his fault the rules are not set up for fairness, its not Warrens fault either.

But ofcourse true boxing fans know the facts about Khan, we know hes clearly taking advantage of a very easy route thats been opened up to him. We know theres plenty of better boxers than him in those divisions. We know about his chin, his record, the truth. We wont be blinded by him holding a belt (if he wins). And we know all about Kotelnik and how poor he is too.

But if he does win and Khan holds the WBA belt, how long before a Bradley or a Holt come to take it off him? He will have to face them surely and how longs he guna last v one of those?
