Amir Khan v Some Colombian
Alex Arthur v Nicky Cook
Audley Harrison v TBC

Pretty thin for a PPV but being a mug I've stumped up. I predict a quick KO win for Khan, Arthur to stop Cook around the ninth with body shots and Fraudley to stink the place out with a boring late round stoppage or decision against whichever tomato can they put him in with.

Harrison might even be more boring to watch than Frank 'The Robot' Bruno.
Fucking dire.

Arthur v Cook may well be a classic and I reckon Khan will get knocked out by the Colombian.

Audley is chronic. Give it up big man.

He believes he can be world champion going by the interview. Haye would blow him away.

I'd be confident of battering that bawbag!
Haye would probably take no less than 3 rounds to beat Harrison.

C'mon Arthur!

I was gonna stay up and watch this on Footy Doctor but i'm about falling asleep here, already. Just gonna sack it and get the highlights the morra morning.

You caught the Harrison fight then?

I've never seen him fight. Is he really that bad?

Brutal my man.

He'd annoy the fuck out of you by tapping you on the head all night before throwing a lacklustre jab though.

He is easily the most boring fighter I've seen.

Arthur's toiling

I think Cook should have that one eh?

Harrison was hyped up by the press and he believed what he read.

I would love Khan to get pumped here

He's fucking hellish. You'd get a better hit from LA.


There's every chance. This Prescott boy has a really good knockout percentage and probably has the height and reach advantage.

The English w**k all over him, you only need to check the build up.Not even a world title fight but the main event when Willie Limond put him on his ass i was going bush, then he got up and knocked poor Willie out

Ya fuckin dancer

Christ, I get a better punch from my 8 year old when I annoy him.

Ooyah fucker!

Now thats how to win a fight. The ref should never have let him continue after the first knockdown.

That was superb, if he'd connected wi the right on the way down Khan was deed

What was O'Connor doing? the fight should have been stopped when Khan went down the first time then when he hit the floor like a sack of shit the second time he should have stopped it then without waiting for the count.
Don't mind Khan getting beat but not seriously hurt.

Unbelievable stuff. I thought that Prescott had a puffed up record of proverbial 'bums of the month' but he sparked Khan good and proper. The ref should've stopped it after he went down first. Every punch seemed to wobble Khan, his legs shook after a jab. The KO hook was brutal, the slow motion replay was scary.

So is he beat?

i fuckin missed it!

going by the replay though he was absolutely done after the first knock down. glad the ref didn't call it off after that though, we would have got the usual nonsense about how he could have continued etc.

haha! Glad I never paid for that anyway.

Beat, he was nearly murdered!

As ICTChris said the 2nd punch of the first knockdown was frightening.

me too

He seemed to think that getting up off the canvass and beating Limond makes you world class, obviously it doesn't. Boy's got no chin.

Khan goes down far too easily. He just can't eat punches like the great boxers can. That's why he'll never be "up there" i'm afraid.

Prescott looks lean, like Tommy Hearns. Brutal stuff.

Khan has always had issues with punch resistance - he was put down in his last amateur fight, he was put down in an early fight against a nobody and Willie LImond and Michael Gomez, neither big hitters, both put him down. Perhaps he just can't take a punch. Shame.

Me too!

I love the way everyone seems to be so pleased that he's been beaten. Anyone would think he visited each of your homes and demanded you didnt eat during ramadan. What did he do to be so disliked by everyone? Was there a meeting about it that I missed?

Edited to add, if Khan had won, this thread would have been full of people commenting about him fighting nobodies and not taking on real opponents, so there was no way he was ever going to get anything other than abuse on here.

I don't like him because he is cocky and arrogant.

Its the same reason people dislike Murray. God forbid a bit of self confidence. Why can't all sportsmen be like Tim Henman?

Boo Hoo.

He got his tatties big time. I really couldn't give a toss if he got beaten or not I just wanted to see some entertainment and the Colombian delivered.

Looks like Khan is going the same way as Harrison, when he comes up against a good fighter then he is found wanting.

It's got nothing at all to do with Khan, it's the usual Over hype by the press telling us all that he will take on the world and not in a couple of years time but right now because he's that good. So you think well no, from what I've seen he's not that good and he should be paying his dues and working his way up to world fights.

There's a difference between self confidence and sneering arrogance.

I don't actually mind sportsmen who are arrogant, as long as they have the goods to back it up. I can see why a lot of people don't like them though.

I don't believe you.




As far as I can see, Khan is taking the approach of working his way up, fighting better guys each time and learning from his mistakes. He even says that after every fight Ive seen. He's been slaughtered on here before for not taking on the world right now. Its the traditional thing. As soon as we have someone who could be successful, people line up to slag them off.

He's fought a load of guys not good enough or, like Gomez, just past it. The jump between them and this lad has been too far, however his chin, at that lower level was suspect so he was always going to struggle against a good pro.

Wonder if Khan will be "box office" the next time he fights or will he be dropped by Sky quicker than you can say knock-out.

He is never in the same league as the guys Sky were suggesting in the advert for the fight.

The writing was on the wall ever since the Limond fight. I'm just surprised so many people (in the media) failed to see it.

He wasn't that successful tonight! As far as analysing a one minute KO can go, he was seriously, fundamentally exposed. Anyone can get hit by a KO punch, there isn't really anything that can be done about it. Anyone can be knocked down, plenty of boxers get put down and get up to win, Felix Trindad made a career of it, De La Hoya got stuck on his arse twice in his first world title fight and won. However, Khan charged out at a puncher, didn't try to box him and was seriously in trouble from every single punch that landed. He was wobbled with a jab.

It'll take a long time to build him back, I doubt he'll be in with anyone who can crack an egg in the next year or so!



Lots of people in the boxing media have commented on the fact that he goes down relatively easily. In just about every seeriuos discussion on his progress it's mentioned. Even the analysts tonight on the puffed up love-fest that SBO put on mentioned the danger to Khan of an opponent who could hit.

Devastated!

Hopefully then he will learn from it and come back better.


Edited to add, it might do him some good getting knocked out. It might be that he didn't take the fight seriously enough, and hopefully this should stop that nonsense.

No chance that Khan will be dropped by Sky. After last night's effort, his comeback fight will definately be PPV and he'll probably be headlining against some complete bum.

He's got to the point he's at by fighting some awful journeymen and when he's been stuck in with anyone with name recognition, they've either been completely shot (Gomez) or had next to no punch (Limond). When you see the matchmaking he's had, you wonder whether it's been done with the thought of developing his abilities or artificially inflating an unbeaten record to make him more of a PPV commodity.

Frankly, I'm delighted that he's been found out and hope he takes a hell of a lot of time to work on his defence before he tries a comeback. Thing is, the world's now seen that he's got a glass jaw and even if Frank Warren gives him a bum-of-the-month comeback route, every one of them's going to think that they only need to land one lucky punch. Khan'll know this as well, so if he doesn't develop some form of defence, he's going to start every fight looking for the quick KO and that'll make him even more of a liability.

With that in mind, I reckon that he'll get properly sparked again within the first two or three fights of his comeback, irrespective of the terrible matchmaking that he'll undoubtedly benefit from.

If he was the (potential) true great that he seems to think he is and that's certainly the line that Frank Warren and Sky have fed the public, at some point in the future he'll have to get back in the ring with Prescott and avenge tonight's defeat. I'd offer reasonable money that Frank Warren will never let Khan fight Prescott again and I'd be surprised if he's ever stuck in with a puncher again. Mind you, Warren could stick Khan in with Audley Harrison because there's no danger that Khan would get hit in that one.

I don't think it will do him any good. It's not like he did anything right, he was absolutely obliterated. What will this do to his confidence and the attitude of other fighters coming in to take him on?

He is young I suppose but I'd be shocked if he made it to world level after a defeat like. I'm trying to think of someone who has done it after a brutal one round KO around this time in their career, it's difficult. On natural talent alone he can win up to European level I think but anything above that is hard to see at the moment.

It's still quite hard to take in, absolutely unreal knock out.

That was hilarious

I can't stand Khan at all. Cockyness is ok when you are near the top of your game, but Khan is never going to be a World Champion as he just doesn't have the chin. Have known that ever since Limond put him on his ass.

I think Khan gets bigged up by the British media so other young Asians think "Oh look, he says he's British and they really like him, I might not become a terrorist after all".

problem is though that he has fought nobodies from the weight division below his giving the impression that he was a powerhouse when he wasnt. He wont ever be truly successful because he cant take a punch ( his crap defence notwithstanding ). If he gets put on his arse by the likes of Limond then there is no chance that he will be a world class boxer.
He should have stuck to the amateurs, might have taken a gold at Beijing and been a hero. I suspect the irony of it being four years on from his Olympic silver will not be lost on him
