I was on about the programme. I give the programme time so then people can tune in earlier so they don't miss the main event.

Khan new trainer , shit defence and no chin .
Molina in the 5th khan will retire after a 3rd kicking in a row.
Hope the cocky tw*t gets mullered disrespects and underestimates everybody he fights . If he gets his dream fight against mayweather lol he will get hurt .

Great display from Amir but Molina showed great heart.

Best fight of the night though for me was Santa Cruz vs Guevara. :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Helluva mismatch

Towel thrown in 2 or 3 rounds too late.

Khan just cant help himself though.

Calling Danny Garcia out and claiming he caught him with a "lucky punch" and on last nights showing woyld have knocked him out :roll:

Just shut the f**k up and work on his defence cos he got with a few last night and someone with hands as heavy as Garcia will cause him problems again if he doesnt learn.

This kid has delusions of grandeur ...
Honestly if he thinks Garcia hit him with a lucky shot!!'


AmirChinKhan has great hand speed and footwork and occasionally boxes well off the jab.
But has a brittle chin and no idea of what to do when he is in trouble.

His chin's not that bad.

Tactically he was better last night.

Agreed. The problem is his attitude and thinking he had fights in the bag before the end of the fight. This meant he was keeping his hands low and he got tagged. When he keeps his hands up he still does get caught but because of his stance he is better prepared to walk through them. He was much better last night and looked even faster with his combinations than he usually does.

I think this is because he timing his combinations and unleashing in bursts rather than just going hellfire and launching a tirade.

I thought he fought exactly the way he should be. Stop getting dragged into wars with people who he can easily outbox. I love watching him fight because he's always exciting. I can't understand the hate against him. People say he's cocky but show me a boxer who isn't. They all are to sell the fights. Carl Froch is a lot worse for talking shit

Bredis Prescott caught him and he was out..
Didn't know how to handle himself when he was hurt, thought he could punch his way out.
(He was young and inexperienced)
What about when Garcia caught him with the "lucky punch "
As Khan put it?
He did exactly the same....

He has his strengths but never fights to them.
Like Hatton he will always revert to type.

Elsewhere I see Broner v Burns is very close.
Broner looks awesome I must say but won't have faced any fighter like Burns.
Although I would've preffered Rocky to have a warm up bout in the USA before he taking on Broner in the states.
