I knew he was gona get beat but even this surprised me.
Its good for him that he got this fight and this defeat at this stage. He knows what he's up against now and he knows he needs to improve.
The better fighter won clearly. If this was a street fight with no ref Khan would have been murdered tonight. Good lesson for him. Hopefully he comes back stronger and tougher
Absolutely

Shame for him and british boxing, total mismanagement by Khan's people, this fella has a superb record for knock out's, and bearing in mind Khan has been rocked by lesser opponents it was just plain stupid. He has so much to learn yet.
His defence has always been and still is non existent, it doesn't seem to have improved since he started boxing, and knowing he is vulnerable to a puncher it should have been a priority as far as his boxing education went.Last edited by Vermilion; 07-09-08, 12:15 AM.

You can only learn from fighting proper tough opponents. We often criticize his management for putting him up against nobodies who can't fight so we cant blame them for this fight. He had it coming, i blame his management for over-hyping Khan but then thats how they make their money.
I seen this coming a mile off, it was obvious Prescott was dangerous but it was the right fight at the right time. Khan will now realise how much work he needs to do and it can only help him.

Class shot that, his face distorts with the power and it catches it perfectly.Originally posted by livvy145 View Post

I wouldnt go that far, he should just get back in training and work on his defence pronto.Originally posted by looprevil View Posthe should retire. he aint never gonna make it in this game. he has made his money, now retire before he is really hurt bad.
No doubt he is good at attacking, if he had a solid defence (it will take time) then he would be a difficult guy to beat.

He cannot take a shot, so logic tells me he can never make it to the very top. I wish he could take a punch, but he just cannot - every single time he gets caught his legs just go completely. Sad but true.Originally posted by Ben Tover View PostNah, he will look a pussy otherwise (like he didn't today

Good point, why he needs to sort out his defence.Originally posted by looprevil View PostHe cannot take a shot, so logic tells me he can never make it to the very top. I wish he could take a punch, but he just cannot - every single time he gets caught his legs just go completely. Sad but true.

He can't take a shot, true but thats down to poor defence. How many times have we seen boxers flat on their face like that and then become stronger and better. Hatton will try and do that, I remember Lewis doing it also.Originally posted by looprevil View PostHe cannot take a shot, so logic tells me he can never make it to the very top.
