    It's all good, Khan's in position.

    I want to see Khan-Brook now.


    Firstly, I'm from the Wirral. Secondly, I haven't lived on Merseyside for nearly 10 years. I don't really have strong scouse accent at all.

      Yeah, it hurts so bad. Almost as bad as Garcia's win over Khan hurts you. oops.
      To me it seemed that since, Brook won a title there was a shift in the tide in support. Perception.

      Nothing wrong with that, but when I said "your new hero" it had no venomous intent. It was an observation.

      Garcia became Lineal Champion in that fight and busted the other hype of the decade besides Broner (Matthysse) later. Can't be worse than a 40 year old Thompson slapping Haye silly.

      Hard to deal with that kind of logic.

      It was a pretty boring, one sided fight. Khan did excellent though. Alexander is just a boring fighter - To Khan's credit it's probably the first fight he was in that was this boring. Collazo a close second but at least he dropped him.

      Gosh I've even admitted that Khan ducked Alexander way way before the fight was even signed.

        I've always been a big fan of Brook. Always. Same with Khan. I like both guys a lot. I've seen every Khan fight since he turned pro and followed his amateur career as well.

        I've not been impressed by a few things he's done, like dropping out of the Alexander fight. That was a wrong move, but Khan knows that too.

        OK - It didn't seem that way to me, but let's leave it at that then.

        I like Garcia too - very underrated fighter. But I think Khan beats him in a rematch.

        If that's true then good. I don't think "ducked" is the right word, but it was a wrong move. Glad Khan took the fight and showed the difference between him and Alexander.

          Khan looked great especially that left hook

          Booing in Thurman fight was....obviously from casual fans and uncalled for

          As Thurman said post fight, they need to shut up

                  not watched the amir fight properly but it went pretty much as expected, amir controlled the range with his jab and threw few combo here and there. thought there would be more clinching if devon applied more pressure but he was clueless.

                  unless brook can land a huge punch on amir he gets taken to school. amir range/speed/jab would be too much for him. good fight though

                      Keith "Algeri" Thurman fought a good fight last night. He used his feet and picked his spots well.
