Amir Khan VS Michael Gomez

No worse a chin than Cotto or Haye but most ppl think their the shit lol. Good fight from a relative novice against a real hard bastard, Khan will win a version of the world title im sure, P4P status I think not.

:ugh: Were u reading the round by rounds or did you actually watch the fight? because from what I saw in the fight was this in summary: - khan knocks gomez down with flurries, gomez gets hurt - khan gets knocked down (a flash kd as well) where he wasnt hurt, his gloves didnt even touch the canvas, gets up immediately. - khan gets hit by a bodyshot and answers back straight away with a lot of punches on his own, which all of them connect to the chin of gomez. - khan knocks him down with a bodyshot - khan flurries and gomez doesnt respond to unanswered punches, ref stops the fight. I watched the fight, Khan's legs weren't steady when he got up. Khan got hit by a bodyshot, dropped his hands immediately and covered up, a few seconds later, he came back with a flurry of punches.

Khan looked quite different than usual in the first round, throwing shorter punches than usual and it was quite impressive the way he was getting his combinations off, he looked like a very intimidating attacking boxer. I think this was a bad fight for that particular experiment though because it directly lead to him getting drawn into a brawl, when he'd have been much better off boxing on the outside. Of course, that would have been boring for us. All in all its good that Khan's been in a toughish fight like that and been hurt, because experience counts. I don't think he's ever going to be quite the unstoppable force some of us thought he might though, he really isn't very good technically, he can't fight inside and compared to the real speed merchants of boxing, he isn't actually that fast. I think he'd be well advised to stay at lightweight as long as he can too, because his size at the weight is giving him lots of advantages. Not to mention his shit chin :banana: I loved the fight and i admitt i was rootin for Gomez and he left his heart out there and wouldn't go away..

That worked for him tho and he knew wat he was doin Almost backfired on him, the good thing coming from him staying on the inside was that it gave us an exciting fight.

I don't really agree with that either, he stayed inside way too much, he made the fight harder for himself by staying inside when he could have picked Gomez apart from the outside with his jab and combinations. That worked for him tho and he knew wat he was doin

Put aside his defence n chin (which i agree with to be fair) his gameplay besides that was great! so fast and strong n he was on top most the fight but fair play to Gomez for hittin back after the first round.

When was he hurt? :ugh: Body shot, 3rd (?) round. His legs were wobbly when he got up from the knockdown too.

considering he was the 1/25 favorite its hardly surprising he won but he aint got a chin

isit so hard to throw a right uppercut and a left hook after it? gomez should never have been stopped!!!!!!!

I wasn't too impressed with Khan, Gomez was a career 130 pounder. He manage to hurt Khan to the body and score a knockdown, Khan did get up a bit wobbly. He has defense and chin issues, he needs a good trainer to rectify those flaws. He does have the tools to become a champion but not nearly as soon as he has been saying.

Aye, if he works on his defence and his inside work he could be something special. Still questions remain about his chin, remember Limond put him on his arse too. But, both times he has got back up and won the fight. Some of his combo's were breathtaking.

Great fight, but needs to sort out defence.
