    Verdict on the fights tonight...

    Louie Brewie vs. Sprott: This was a bit of a bore.

    Artur Und Ick Bon vs. Simon: What was wrong with Abraham tonight? With a performance like that he'll make Moby more confident, but he looked drained/unmotivated. He even appeared stunned at times. Simon impressed me, I had it even after ten, though at least two of the rounds he took Arthur appeared to let him win. Hey, everyone's allowed an off night I guess, and for the first five rounds not only was Arthur not taking him seriously, but Simon wasn't taking HIMSELF seriously.

    Enzo Mac: I heard Enzo got KO'd, I didn't see it. Shame, that would've been a laugh, isn't it? Isn't it?

    Khan vs. Barrera: When this was made I said that I'd have to give Amir Khan't SOME credit as I don't believe Barrera was shot. Old, YES. Shot, NO. However, you can call "bull****" on that now, because the size difference was MASSIVE. It was like Amir was in with his kid brother, just like 90% of his previous opponents. I didn't see the clash of heads as the stream was crap. However, despite my detractions about Khan, I will give him credit for two things:


    1. He might not have much of a chin or a boxing brain, but his natural atheticism is AMAZING. The handspeed, movement, gas tank... while the guy has serious liabilities, I'll never take away from the fact that he's got gifts too.

    2. His heart. Didn't have to show it tonight, but even when he was totally KTFO by Prescott he was trying to get up.



    Anyway, you might wonder why there was such a heated atmosphere between the two fighters tonight. Well I can exclusively reveal they had an argument pre-fight:


    Location: Amir's corner shop.


    Barrera: "Hey Senor, you give me mucho mucho mucho carrier bag for free, Amigo."

    Amir: "No, you ain't 'avin' a free carrier bag or owt like that, innit? You ain't 'avin' owt. Have you done the house cleaning round our 'ouse yet?"

      I think it was a cunning plan, designed with the intent of persuading Pavlik's handlers that it might be safe to get in the ring with him after all...

        I have to agree with you. Before the fight I swore I'd give Khan credit. Marco is not shot, he's just past prime : He's still a dangerous opponet for someone like Khan. But Jesus Christ that cut was horrible, Marco didn't even have a chance to show us he has anything left because he only had 1 eye.

        Khan's speed and combinations impressed me. But I disagree with the Sky Sports commentators, he can not learn to go on without a chin. It's the one thing in this sport that can't be trained (you could also argue heart). He will be KTFO by any top 10 Lightweight IMO.

            Yeah, like I said, he gets an A for heart, but as for his chin.........

              The Brits had better thank Khan. If he had lost, that would have meant that Cook got destroyed. Enzo got destroyed. And even when a Brit won, a Brit had to lose.

              Khan should be worsphipped in the U.K. tonight.

                If I had any liquid in my kidneys I'd be pissing it out right now at all the Brits saying Khan will mop the floor with Marquez now.
