well KHAN sure knows how to RUN... Run Khan Run....that's what I learned tonight.

Hey Miles, if Mike Tyson hadn't bitten a chunk out of Holyfield's ear and there were only teethmarks on his ear instead, do you feel Tyson should be given a free pass? Because from my understanding, you're basically trying to say, no harm no foul. Am I right?

What about a fighter that intentionally tries to low blow the other fighter but hits his hip or thigh instead? Is that no harm no foul also?

What I am saying is that Maidana didn't land a foul on Amir Khan. We cannot deny that Tyson tried to eat Evander Holyfield, but more astonishingly he WAS given a second chance to prove his cannibalistic skills.

In terms of the low blow, how many fighters are given a second chance after commiting an ACTUAL low blow? Quite a lot by my reckoning.

Maidana attempted a foul, missed and was docked without a warning. No second chance. Cortez was again caught in the moment and acted on it. It was weak officiating and it is not as though it is a new thing.

How would Steve Smoger have responded. I bet it would have been quite different. A good warning, a message saying "don't try that again!" and on the fight goes.

That's the point he attempted to and got docked a point, that's his punishment in the ring. Hell in the real world crimes with the word attempt carries severe penalty and you're going to have to pay the price or at least in the US, such as attempted murder.

I'd be interested to know what Miles thoughts on the Eubank Sherry 'headbutt' incident.

Khan could have reacted like this



Fast forward to 6 minutes.

For the record Eubank was docked two points. I don't think the 'headbutt' did any damage whatsoever and Sherry such a slimy cunt. The fight went to a technical decision and Eubank thankfully scraped through on a split decision.

The point is, technical fouls can land you in deep shit.....

That nearly killed Dan Sherry apparently
