    If he's got a decent corner team they will give the ref dogs abuse. That Klit is just allowed to do anything he wants to tie the smaller guy up when he gets inside and the ref hasn't even spoken to him yet.

    Lol. Even with a point deducted he won by 15 points an all three cards.

    Imo if that was another boxer he would have lost more points or been disqualified.

    I can't believe Khan is getting the chance to fight Mayweather, hasn't done enough to deserve it. Other people deserve a chance before he does, whether Floyd would fight them or not I'm not sure. He proved by fighting Alvarez that he isn't scared of a good challenge.

    Mate of mine from school made his Pro debut about 2 months ago and won, he was meant to be undercard to Anthony Joshua tonight fighting his cousin in what would be his cousins Pro debut I believe, but they changed their minds and turned my mate down because they wanted "an easier match for him"!

    I had the commentary turned off but for me he was holding, pushing him down by the neck when he tried to get inside, using his forearms and elbows and twice he pushed him to the canvas. One of them so blatant it was unreal. As I said above, if it wasn't a Klit, I think he would have been docked at least two more points if not disqualified.

    Interesting.
    Klitschko has certainly always used his size to his advantage.

    I also don't understand why he does that as he can box brilliantly without resorting to them tactics.

    I would put good money that he will knock Khan out in the fight.
    Khan has absolutely no chin, and a powerful jab can daze him.

    Good thing floyd doesn't have a powerful jab then.

    He might well knock him out given his * chin, but he won't walk through him and stop him early, if he does stop him it will be late on and probably due to an accumulation of punches.
