Amir Khan's next fight announced

[Gerald]

i think amir khan needs to fight a decent boxer. The first guy he thought was pathetic and got KO in about a minute. The next guy was better but he out classed him i was bit disapionted he did not KO him

Whoever he fights now is all about career development - if your point is that the guys he's fighting are not helping him develop then you can argue the case, but if you're upset he's not in competitive fights then you're missing the point of the fights that he taking.

Personally I think he's looked pretty damn good so far - he is showing noticeable adaptions from the amateur game, and some maturity in his shot selection, especially to the body

Amir khan is being hyped too much.

I think people need to slow down hes just started.

I know he's got a bright future but people are already saying that he is going to be a world champion, khan has been pressured to live up to this ever since he got a silver medal at the olympics. Every time he will have a boxing match his shoulders will be carrying the strain and expectations of everyone around him to win.

It's early still, amir will only grow and develop into a stronger fighter and will probably have his shot at a world title.
But then again he might turn into another audley harrison and fight bums and wait till it's too late.

I got Amir Kahn's pro debut on a computer file. It is pretty good quality I think. If anybody wants it let me know.

can i see that fight if its available

[Martin (Top Knowledge)]

I was a bit puzzled m8 it was made to sound like he couldn't get fights at 126 which is bollox, Harrison talks as if he wants it but as you say whether Warren wants it is another matter

I don't think Harrison is being avoided, I think it's more to do with him not being able to generate enough money as to why people don't wanna fight him. - (Tough fight, get paid peanuts).

I think there is one fighter out there that would beat Harrison 10 out of 10 times, and that's Juan Manuel Marquez. The way I see it, styles make figths and Marquez is probably the best counter puncher in the game today. He'd be Harrison's worst nightmare!

With regards to Harrison fighting Barrera, Morlaes, Pacquiao, Chi, Larios, Guzman, etc... I could never count him out... I think he'd start the under-dog in all these fights, but Harrison has a rare comodity which you can't train into a fighter... Despite not being as gifted as the above, he'll never give up because he wants it so bad. A fighter that thinks this way can never be counted out!

amir khan fighting a worser fighter then that 2nd fighter,
i will celebrate when khan looses to KO
i am a brit, i very much dislike amir khan, bcoz of his pakistani background and bcoz of his bad boy nature,

Who is this tosspot making comments like this he must be from the BNP. JEALOUSY IS BAD THING in the ******s called PLAYER HATING which is what sanjayint is.

GOOD LUCK AMIR KHAN and hope u become the next oscar de la hoya

[Lol999]

I must admit the Pakistani bit threw me. Is it because Sanjayint is of Indian extraction i.e. Sanjay-int?

Lol

That makes a lot of sense m8 and sounds more likely to me.
I couldn't agree more on Marquez, we all saw his skill in coming back to 'win' the pacman fight! but I was watching his bout with Manuel Medina the other day (and this was b4 Medina fought Harrison twice!) He's got every punch in the book but in particular I noticed his counter left hook, man what a punch, everytime Medina threw a right he was getting hammered with counter lefts & they were laser quick too. Harrison has a shot with anyone who'll stand and fight but Marquez would really do a number on him.

Oh & sorry to the thread maker!

[barryboy]

Just noticed it's your thread Martin so you can do what the **** you want

[barryboy]

This hasn't been confirmed & I haven't seen it posted anywhere else but if true there's a couple of good fights lined up for the Harrison undercard:

John Simpson 13-2 v Andy Morris 11-0 for the British featherweight title that Simpson was robbed of winning against Dazzo Wiliams a while back.

Kevin McIntyre 22-3 v Nigel Wright 14-1 in an eliminator for the British title but i'm not sure what weight as Kevin is usually a welter and Wright a lt welter.

You have Amir Khan who's expected to win easily and also Gary Young, Ricky Burns & Willie Limond against tba's so even without Harrison that's a nice little bill but if the Harrison opponent is good enough this'll be an excellent nights boxing and with a lineup like that I don't think any of the Frank's will be able to moan about poor ticket sales this time so fingers crossed!
