Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford: I Felt Amir Khan Took The Easy Way Out

[fernandtg]

He did take the easy way out. You're taking the easy fights though, which is just as bad IMO.

What I don't get and don't get me wrong Crawford is a better fighter and would have KO'd him anyway but how can you win a fight on a tko when it's a low blow?

Surely it should go to the scorecards which Crawford would have won on anyway.

Its like an accidental headbutt when after 4 rounds it goes to the scorecards surely??

Edit> which means again Crawford would have won anyway, I just don't get how its a tko.

The money was already in the bank, you damn right he quit!

Let me punch you with a full power uppercut to the ballsack and see how long it takes you to get up.

The replay showed it clearly was NOT to the ball sack. Khan was looking for a way out, as he was getting his ass handed to him, and it was about to get worse.

The headlock Khan was trying to put Crawford in is as illegal as a low blow.

Crawford gave Khan the way out. You shouldn't have landed low. Let's stop sugar coating for the sake of protecting fighter's feelings. They're grown men, they should be able to take criticism. Crawford beats Khan 7 days a week and Khan could've stayed down in the first. He could've gone down on one of the body shots Crawford landed in the 4th or 5th. Instead Khan went out because he was hit low - very obviously low. Crawford needs to stop b#tching about the scenario he created. How about fighting clean? That's an idea.

Keep making excuses. No one is buying that excuse. If that's the case ask for a rematch. Of course he wont because he already dodged that ko. He sucks bro. Kahn hasnt been good in about 7 years.

It's a TKO because Amir and Virgil told the ref to stop the fight. The doctor didnt stop it, Con did. Take the whole five minutes and if that dont work, talk to the doctor. Dont immediately say stop the fight. Ask the doctor to check you and see if he'll stop it. He didnt do that because they would've told him to fight on. Do we have a medical report about the testicle. Of course not because we've seen much worse low blows. Zab vs Cotto was bad and it actually changed the entire fight but Zab didnt quit.

Excuse for what, Crawford being better than Khan? He hit him low. That's not fictional. I've explained myself, you just didn't read. I'm not playing patty cake with you. If you want a conversation, converse, otherwise rack up your predictable post count elsewhere.

[Ca$ual Fan]

Like this wasn't a mismatch to begin with. People only paid to watch Amir do the stanky leg. NEXT!

People gotta be like "what's gonna be Amir's next epic move this time around?" or "has Khan learned a new dance step? Let's find out and see"

Meanwhile, Crawford was supposed to be the showcase fighter in this fight but was forgotten somewhere in the discussion

What I saw was a guy that was getting hurt, was injured, befuddled by what was in front of him and having flashbacks of being brutally KO’d against Canelo. He knew if he went out like that again it was career over, so he was gifted an opportunity to get out and he took it.

I heard him say in the corner in round 2 ‘he’s hurting me’ and Hunter asked ‘he’s hurting you?’ and Khan being experienced with coaches and knowing that the towel would go in immediately if he confirmed that he said those words changed his mind and said ‘nah, I’m okay’, he quit from that moment on.

I think if you listen real carefully you'll hear Khan say his right arm/ elbow is hurting him.
