    Got to hand it to him for taking the fight he's taken on. Racing Post today was tipping him at 9/1 to cause a shock, which I can't see but I hope he does. Nobody can say he ducks the best and when he loses he will still have Brook waiting for him.

    In other boxing news, how weird to see Froch and Groves working together.......

    Khan is grabbing as much brass as he can whilst people can still vaguely remember him

    Weak for the fight to stop after that. It's no wonder the crowd were booing as they were robbed of value for money. Khan probably knew he was already on his way to defeat, as he was well behind on the score cards.

    Kahn was a shadow of his former self
    lost all his hand speed and movement wasn't even in shape for this fight.
    he's taking one big blow too many from those overhand rights he's vulnerable to.
    Bell saved him or it would have been all over in the 1st round.
    The low blow
    he must have the widest and biggest dick and balls in the world for that punch to have hit them, was nowhere near punch hit his leg.
    deliberate business decision by kahn to end the fight to save face by not getting stopped for one last payday with brook sadly.

    Regardless of your opinion on Khan this statement is completely untrue.

    If he was chasing money the Brook fight was worth about £3 million more and a 50/50 fight as they’re both on the slide. So longer term would have been worth a lot more, as had he beat Brook a title fight and another £5 million minimum would have been on the table.

    Who on gods green earth actually wants to watch these two fight. A fight for nothing more than lining their pockets and the pockets of that absolute slimeball Eddie Hearn. The boxing business is corrupt and fixed. Just look at the state of the heavyweight fights coming up, I was worried my dad was gonna get a call to fight Fury. Just takin the Mick. The promoters are just protecting their prize assets and people are still lapping it up. Barmy, just barmy.

    Boxing as a whole seems ridiculously corrupt. The decisions, the fight choices and the fact that every heavyweight is clearly on steroids (unfortunate for Miller that he appears to have a **** doctor who can't time his cycles correctly). I presume all other weights have chemical assistance too, with the amounts on offer there's no reason not to
