Amir Khan got punched in the testicles. Fight should have been a TD not a TKO!

[Loque-san]

I don't know where you keep your balls, but mine are right next to my upper thighs. You hit me with a boxing glove on the inside of my upper thigh, you're also hitting the soft, dangly collection of objects I keep next to it.

Yeah next, not on your thighs. The replays show the punch did not land in the groin area, and even if it did, it's not enough to explain why Khan couldn't / didn't want to continue. He has a protection and five minutes. Fighters get hit low all the time and fights usually go on you know.

He could've had 5 mins to recover but chose not to. His corner pulled him out, so it's rightly a TKO

100% spot on.

Yes, those are the unified rules of boxing.

So a boxer can aim to win by targeting the oppositions belt area and accidentally landing the winning shot?... I'm only poking fun at this btw but just imagine if a boxer tried and what we would say lol

In my eyes, either Amir or Virgil gave up but i never saw the towel in Virgil's hand

Crawford vs Brook would be a great fight

No more yapping from Team Con after this debacle. They need to match Con vs post prime D level opponents or guys un-retiring.......Con vs Maidana 2 ?!?!?!?

An English fighter is never going to get a fair shake in New York

i wasnt impressed with either guy after watching it right now

1. crawford slow plodding, that high right counter looks great on amir but someone with a chin gonna combo his ass up. ponytail thurman would be a nightmare for this dude. crawford also surprised me with how ****ing big he looked man

2. khan very clever range tactics up and down on the combos. smart body shots, but little power, first round knockdown folded him, no chin. also that dudes footwork is exhausting. try running backwards half a mile. def some elite level footwork and boxing skills tho.

i had bud up, khan maybe had two rounds. i think hunter basically thinks khan can't learn the small ****t like rolling or inside fighting so just has him on his feet all the time. you can't do that for 18 min straight man.

That low blow as as blatant as ever tho, literally ****ed it and landed it BELOW his ballsack man. wtf. it was going underneath not outward to hit his thigh lmao

[-Kev-]

He quit.

He took like 1-1:30 of the allotted 5 minutes, then gave Hunter the green light to stop the fight.

You don't win on a foul.
Unless you're Lupe Aquino.

Gotta ask yourself, if Crawford was the one who got low blowed, would the fat Yanks be just as happy with a TKO stoppage in Khan's favour? And the answer is no, but they won't admit it.

Khan was losing the fight bad and looked extra chinny throughout, that isn't in doubt. He was gonna get brutally KOd. But don't try to change the narrative that a debilitating low blow didn't occur.

Khan is a warrior I feel bad for him coming this far only to be stopped on the testicle punch
