Amir Khan: "I'll Return Stronger" - Rubio To Be Fired?

[hishaam15]

And why would warren listen to rubio when we have all seen that khan has been stunned and hurt in previous fights against guys with ****ty ko ratios?



Steroids don't fix a ***** chin, he was born with one.

maybe roids will help his reflexes. dodge the punch altogether

Khan, didnt even have a chance on this one... a jab wobbled him...
He will never be the same after this...
He got no chin at all...
So, those who adore this guy... stop dreaming.... he's probably still in dreamland... hahahaha

I want to give Rubio a medal for recommending this fight.

to be fair like Warren we all thought Prescott was ****.

Infact he still might be ****. He might have had a golden 50 seconds. Amir was panicky as **** from the moment he started his ring walk.

Anyone else think they could get in a boxing ring and their chin would at least be as good as Amir's, lol. Thing is he has a thick neck, there ain't nothing he can do, nothing.

The only guy in the boxing public eye with a chin like Khan's is in my avatar.

Khan's father has gone on the Sky website and cleared up the confusion about who chose Breidis Prescott as an opponent, Amir did it whilst Warren wants to use Rubio as a scapegoat.

Wasn't it more the case that Rubio recommended Prescott, and Khan agreed? That's how I read it. I doubt Khan knew of Prescott before Rubio named him.

Still, I don't see how it's Rubio's fault. Khan's chin was just simply not up to it.

[CasperUK]

Khan's dad, Shah, said it was a joint decison by Khan and Rubio to fight Prescott. Khan wanted to fight a boxer with a high KO% ratio to quell any doubts over his punch resistance. Unfortunately the plan backfired.

Rubio won't get fired. Khan got caught cold and he came rushing in himself. How is that Rubio's fault? It's Khan's own eagerness that let him down.

The matchmaking will be very careful from now on though. Warren was sort of 'pushed' into making this fight, Khan's been begging for better opposition for the last 18 months and talked about world titles non-stop. You couldn't have fed Khan a tomato can on a PPV fight. The outcry would have been enormous by fans.

Khan needs to settle and calm down. Warren needs to be more selective with his matchmaking. Perhaps afew weak prospects with good padded records to build confidence again. Khan needs to fight TWICE more this year for a number of reasons. (a) December is a long time off yet, that will just give the public more opportunities to flog Khan and Khan himself with anguish in the mean time. (b) A fight before December will build confidence in the public and within Khan again and (c) Khan needs more practise.

Seriously man, Sports Network and its matchmaker, Dean Powell, would have done there homework on Prescott, them ****ers over there at SN dont leave nothing to chance when it comes to matching thier cash cows. Still, you win some, you lose some.......and they ****in lost this one

[sportsplato]

How could anyone NOT know about these crop of Columbian fighters. They ALL have power and decent chins, but very limited boxing skills. But it is compensated for by their aggression and willingness to trade. Khan was always suspect and now the verdict is in! Sentenced to getting KTFO!

[RL_GMA]

LOL @ these hyped fighters. Build them to destroy them...terrible.

But yea, Khan's chin is gonna be a big issue let alone leaving himself wide open.
