Amir Khan - Dear, oh dear.

[Albert Park]

He keeps tell us he hasn't got a glass chin. Looks like he has, after all.

1st round KO.

 

[fat lazy techie]

Hands up all those who paid for this.

Don't really watch boxing, but heard result on skysportsnews this am. what a joke.

sky are still offering people to pay for box office to see a re-run.

No chance. People should demand a refund.

 

[I Look Like Kevin Costner]

Off Topic They would be better off watching "Jock" Murray giving Nadal a good thumping!

Hope he can finish it and do Federer as well. DT_Xtremez_19:

I thought the backroom had taken a big gamble when the fight was announced. Luckly I also put my money where my mouth was and won a nice little sum of money.

There is no point moaning about the result and asking for your money back. Anyone who really knows Boxing knows a fight can be over in just one punch no matter how good you are. I do think that Sky killed British boxing off when they started buying up the rights PPV is a blatant money spinner.

Hands up all those who paid for this.

If you're stupid enough to pay the SKY thieves a ridiculous amount of money to watch ONE fight, then you deserve everything you get, or don't get actuallyDT_Xtremez_28:

I agree. I used to watch boxing when I was younger on the beeb.
Amir and his promoter have blatantly sold out. I thought it was good that they were putting his fights on terrestial TV, so that we could see his progress from Olympic hero to professional fighter.

Shame on you Khan and Warren. Greedy money spinning gits. Hopefully a candidate for TheLadf's thread on Monday.

I can't put everyone up for the vote!!!!:0 but given the undercard was Fraudley Harrison against doubtless another "durable opponent" I think Sky have got some neck making this PPV. Off TopicI cancelled my Sky a couple of years ago I only used to watch the cricket and documentary channels, I got bored with the amount of football on there and just watched selected games. By the way the fact that England were on Setanta last night and the fact the highlights weren't sold was a blessing for those who missed it.

 

[Bucc Boy]

Classic Example of the Media making us believe the hype. We fell for it with Fraudly, just because he was an excellent amateur (Olympic gold) and now it looks like we have fallen for it again - well I did anyway.

Agree with previous comments that they have sold out. I have been a lifelong fan of the noble art but since having to pay £14.99 in addition to my SKY subscription I have been converted to YouTube, as advertised by ‘Monobrow’.

Back to the drawing board Khan and credit where it’s due to Prescott – excellent finish on a semi tested chin.

 

[mick-a-nick]

Yet again, the press hype up 'Our man Khan' and he hits the canvas. They also said our young diver would do well at the Olympics ad he managed last place!!!

 

[Tubby]

cockey tw@ might lose that prince naseem attitude now and start to fight properly. Frank warren is a master of hype what else did people expect from some one with so little experience. Finaly fights somebody that can punch and he breaks. I will have more respect for him when he comes back a better fighter, he should do so long as warren stops the bullsh!t and amir puts more effort in to fighting and not being so flash.

 

[Cooheed]

He got a wake up call on what it means to mix it with the real pro's. He'll get over it. Do tend to agree though that he has a bit of a glass jaw even though the first killer punch landed on his forehead..:S

 

[fileeth]

Hopefully not going to be another Audley Harrison i.e. i've won an olympic medal so i must be good and believe the hype that i can take on the world - oops thats me on my flat ar*e best i learn to cover up.

Like the commentor said 'the walk to the ring took longer than the fight'.

 

[hacked off in the farce]

amir, amir amir... looks to me as though you got a little confused when this fight was signed... you must have thought and therefore trained to fight "Lohn Preescott"... imagine his suprise when he got to the ring hehe...

we have all fallen as has been said for the hype...olympic medalist = pro boxer... seems not to ne the case and the same will happen when fraudley hasbeen fights a decent fighter that people have heard of instead of the "bums" he goes against right now...

i agree BSKYB have got a nerve charging best part of £40 for the package and then ask for a further 15 quid to watch a fight...and unfortunatly thats only going to go up in time as well as everything else does!!

have to say though UFC is my fighting of choice right now boxing has lost its appeal to me since the hype never lives up to post fight...
