Was Khan actually ko'd here?

[starjammer]

If you go by the ITV timer, it's 10 seconds +, but the referee's count is what matters, and I think he was just reaching 10 when Khan stood back up for the second time.

I havn't watched this fight since it was live, but I seem to remember Khan tiring very quickly? It looks like the trouble shot hit him on the ear or behind the ear which shut off his balance right away. I think something similar happened in the Gomez fight too.

So really the 'chin' point I think comes from the Prescott fight when he actually took one to the jaw. And in fairness to Khan, he never got shut offline completely, he was still trying to get up, even if his body had failed him.

Now though, Roach's been trying to put more power into his legs and he seems at a more natural weight.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Khan isn't fragile, but I don't think as fragile as people believe. I think he'll do well from here on out as-long as he gets defence in order. He'll still break from a hard shot, bnecause mentally I don't think he believes he could take one either, that seemed clear in the Kotelnik fight.

Good post .

I think that should count as two knockdowns. If you weren't ready to get up, then why did you? I hate that ****ing rule. If you go down twice, it's two knockdowns.

Not sure on the rules but Khan was very green back then. He always looked at his corner.

It's not a rule that it's two knockdowns, I'm just saying it should be. Tim Bradley got away with that same bull**** against Kendall Holt last year.

I'm not criticizing Khan for using it to his advantage. He did the right thing. I'm saying change the damn rule.

damn, that kid had no damn chin!!!! i dnt think he'll ever amout to **** if his talent cant keep him from gettin knocked out at that level. even rjj was talented enuff to keep from gettin knocked out for most of his career...

[deuce_drop]

i think so, i've seen fights stopped for less, and also seen fights stopped when a fighter did the exact same thing as khan did in that vid.


who knows, too late now to do anything about it.

That man has got the talent to one of the GOAT brits ever. But he needs to tighten up that defense.
