    if they dont put khan in with someone good soon he's going to get sparked by someone whos NOT good, and that could be devestating to his career. personally i'd chuck him in with a kastidis NOW, expect him to lose and then let him become a real fighter, rather than a hype job. . . But we all know warren wouldnt do that

    p.s yeah it was a fair stoppage in my eyes, gomez was hurt and i didnt see much changing if the fight continued. sporadic success wouldnt have stopped him getting seriously hurt

      Khan's Chin has HUGE question mark over it

        I felt that the stoppage was a bit quick, but only by about 10 seconds or so.

        After the early KD I thought it might be a repeat of the Earl fight, but it turned out to be a very entertaining and competitive match-up.

        I think that Khan should take a look at Kelly Pavlik. Like Khan, Pavlik is tall for his weight, but he is an expert at using that to keep shorter fighters on the end of his reach. Pavlik managed to hit Lockett with several power shots despite staying on the outside and remaining composed. Khan on the other hand rushes in and commits himself too much, and last night he allowed Gomez to get inside and fight his kind of fight.

        Khan showed against St Clair that he's capable of keeping someone on the end of his jab for 12 rounds. He should've fought the same way last night. Gomez hasn't been to the late stages of a fight for years, and he would've become desperate and wild after a couple of rounds, which would've given Khan several openings to exploit with his speed and power.

        Hopefully Khan will start work with his new trainer ASAP, because there is a lot to work on.

          1st post so take it easy!

          Yes,I watched it and thought Gomez was very brave coming forward.It may have been stopped a bit too soon for me.
          Khan was exposed in area's and is not ready yet for a world title,He could'nt cope with the in yer face close up punches/short range stuff.Warren knows this too! Maybe itv can stop bum licking now?

          Been a bit disrespectful to Oliver Harrison too in my honest oppinion.

            gomez did really well in the fight and gave a good account of himself, the stoppage was too soon imo, khan did miss with alot of the shots and gomexz was always htting back - the ref should have given gomez another 10 seconds and if he hadn't thrown back then halted the fight.

            as for khan he was far from imprssive - proabably due to the lack of a trainer but khan's infghting looked crap and his chin was exposed again.

            if fighters like gomez and willie limond can floor khan imagine what a top quality puncher would do or even someone who would just throw more punches. a better fighter would have hit kahn to the head after landing that body shot in the fourth.

            khan thinks he could beat diaz or pac-man then he must be having a laugh.

              I honestly don't believe some of you think that stoppage was fair in any way, Gomez slipped 5 out of the last 6 punches, which proves his head was still in the fight.

              The Amir Khan't hype train was not about to be derailed by abum though, so Khan had to get a gift stoppage.

              That fight was bull****, and only proved what real boxing fans already knew, Khan is an average fighter with a ****ty chin and bad defense.

                I was screaming when the referee stopped it and I also agree that Khans flurry didnt even land. The only hope Khan has of becoming a good world class boxer is if he adopts the philly shell defence like winky did. Winky used to get battered around the ring like a ping pong ball until he learned the art of defence.

                Khan is great going forward, but he needs the head gear back to win a recognisible world title.

                  So do you think Gomez had any more than a punchers chance? Also at that point he hadn't landed much for some time.

                    If it was stopped because he only had a punchers chance, the fight should have never been sanctioned in the first place, a punchers chance is all he ever had.

                    Gomez might not have been landing, but he was covering up and slipping all the shots Khan was throwing, the stoppage was bull****.

                      Gomez was well in that fight, and that last flurry that Khan threw, the last 5 punches missed completely. Weren't blocked, he MISSED!

                      And ITV still have the cheek to call it a good stoppage!

                      The hype job continues.

                      On a lighter note though, any fight that contains Khan on the floor is good by me.
                      GEt used to it mate.Khan is a 'great fighter'.He's gonna be a world champion soon and he will be a champion for 15yrs.Very soon Khan will be having hands problems,everytime a good fighter will be mentioned Khan's hands will start giving him problems like Joe used to have.

                      The hype job will continue and Khan will be filling stadiums soon.
