Frank warrens picked opponant for khan didnt go to plan respect gomez!

It wasnt those shots in particular that caused it to be stopped. It was Gomez taking punishment over time and that was the final straw, the actual finish was shit. I re watched it and Khan landed fuck all. But it was the whole fights punishment not that attack i think. Totally agree man.

I knew it was gunna be stopped tbh. But i wish Gomez had been allowed to fight on a little longer. Yeah I agree, I think he should have been given another few seconds to see if he was gonna throw something back

yeh it wasnt a good finish at all which caused people to boo including me. I knew it was gunna be stopped tbh. But i wish Gomez had been allowed to fight on a little longer.

The ref jumped in when khan only landed 3 or 4 shots but that was after khan had landed loads of other shots between rounds. It wasnt those shots in particular that caused it to be stopped.

yea more like accumulative KO rather than concussive punching , point well made mate. Taking a look at all his past fights, he does this kind of Street Fighter II fury of fists and I think it just overwhelms the opposition. Similar to Calzaghe. The speed doesn't give you time to think, or sometimes even cover up....therefore like we seen with Gomez...13 shots and the ref jumps in.

I think Frank knew Gomez would fight hard and show heart and I think that's what he would have wanted, but only to justify them choosing him as an opponent. However I think that the knockdown would have been exactly what they didn't want. It has yet again made people question Khan's chin and defence and subsequently I don't think Khan will really move forward. If the fight had gone to plan and Gomez would have looked good but Amir still brushed him aside and looked good defensively against an aggressive opponent, Khan may have got his wish and had a title fight by the end of the year. Now due to that knockdown, he won't. yeh the knockdown fuked it up for him and that kd with limond is very dodgey because he had so much seconds to recover.

If you get hit when you can't see it then it don't matter really, Khan didn't see that shot cause they were in close. Also, when Limond put him down Khan was in real trouble, the Gomez one wasn't nearly as bad. That body shot by Gomez fucked him up though! There's a lot of controversy with that knockdown, supposedly the ref gave away too many seconds to recover and Khan should have lost. I agree with the body shot, imagine that shot coming from Katsidis...game over man.

I think the Jury is still out on Khan's punching power. He's got immense speed, but he jabs then he's back out, like an Olympic boxer. I think it's the fury of Khan's speed that KO's boxers and not the power.

yeh i know that but if u noticed he misses alot of his punches which makes it even worse for khan because gomez only landed about 30 times in 5 rounds! and that was enough to kd khan lol.

Punch power is Always the last to leave anyone. And Gomez is still 31. yeh i know that but if u noticed he misses alot of his punches which makes it even worse for khan because gomez only landed about 30 times in 5 rounds! and that was enough to kd khan lol.

yeh i agree with limond but gomez has faded more then limond that fact alone makes it harder for gomez to kd anyone. Punch power is Always the last to leave anyone. And Gomez is still 31.

However, Gomez has a style were he can knock guys down and out easy. He has an OK KO Ratio (I think..I aint checked) Limond has very little punch power (25% KO Ratio) yeh i agree with limond but gomez has faded more then limond that fact alone makes it harder for gomez to kd anyone.
