Comments Thread For: Amir Khan Eyes KO: I Don't Want it To Go The Distance!

[Kris Silver]

I want to see him say Manny on video.

BoxingScene writers often change what is in a quote, for example Khan said Grow some balls bro, but the writers here changed it to make it look more serious. I forgot what they typed exactly.

So would I.

As-well as an accurate account of what was said to Tim. The words can't have been that inaccurate, the body language spoke clearer.

I wrote it, the quote wasn't changed, it was on Ringside the other night towards the end of the Khan segment and was followed by a discussion about Khan's relationship with Manny by the pundits, who were as surprised as I was by the comment.

The video link isn't on Sky's site in full. Watch last Thursdat's Ringside show to double check the legitimacy of it.

As for Khan-Bradley, I saw that clip also. Tim's body language, demeanour and career suggests to me that he isn't interested in Khan as he'd be widely beaten, lose a lot of cache and for what, the guy can wait for Khan to leave, pick up the belts and carry on. Tim's a nice guy but his style is poor to watch, his profile is pretty low and he is made to measure for Amir in my opinion. Neither man is ducking the other, but it makes more sense for Tim to give the unification a wide berth.

Manny would KO Khan quicker than Floyd would.

Long way to go boy.

Isn’t that the very definition of ducking someone though? Giving them a wide birth because they know they will get soundly beaten?

Apart from that I agree.
