    Well, they're not going to be hyping Kotelnik who is unknown in Britain are they?

    Did you expect them to hype somebody who lost almost every round? What did you want them to say?

      the reason why is warren probably slides them some money to talk up his man. the whole ****ing thing was about khan anyway. the name of the program was "Khan: A Man becomes king" or whatever and it kept flashing every single commercial break. Jokes. Every opponent on that card was hand fed. Did you see how pathetic that fury guy was. Lord.

        Errr.... The bias was clear. It stems all the way back to the Witter and M'Baye fights. I have never seen such DISGRACE to the sport as in the Witter Kotelnik fight with Duke literally RIDING the erect staff of Witter. Kotelnik SCHOOLED him and Duke was calling it a 2 point win for Witter and giving Kotelnik NO CREDIT.

        Tonight wasn't as bad as Kotelnik didn't box as well but the hugging of Khan was obscene. They shouldn't be hyping anybody too much - they should be commentating on the fight and giving insight.

        Also, in reality the fight was about 8-4 it wasn't a major beat down or schooling at all. Not many punches were landed by either.

          The fight was on British Tv, with British commentators. The British people want to hear how good their British fighter is. Whether it's all just hype or not, thats what the casual fans want to hear.

            mersey he's probably american. we're used to both guys having their records called out, and a little bit of hype for both guys before each fight. for ****s sake, they used a female interpreter to interpret his french...

            at least say the opponents records, especially the undercard. not a single 'opponent' had a record called out. and the ref was unbelievably biased to call that quick stoppage with the guy who fought before frankie...

              Khan ain't no superstar, nor was this a mega fight.

              Why would you expect the undercard to have anything good on it?

              Plus, Warren is Khan's promoter. He is also the promoter of the Olympians, who are all World class prospects.

                The casual fans don't have a clue what they want to hear - because that is what they are; 'casual' fans. If they are ******/rich/gullible enough to buy a Khan PPV then they'll lap up whatever is on offer. I just wish it was more impartial - SIIGGGGGHHHH where is Merchant when you need him?

                      joan guzman makes ivan calderon look like a slugger.

                      at least ivan has a reason to run he's smaller than his opponents.



                      guzman runs from everyone.
