Happy to help He did have a first round knockdown in his favour again,but Vasquez showed how to beat him.But a rematch sounds in doubt for a good while.i expect Khan to stay at this weight after what Roach said. www.secondsout.com/usa-boxing-ne ... ght-fights

Macaranelli lost. Is it really the end for him seeing as he's only 28 ?

Yes definitely he's shot now and has never really recovered after the David Haye KO, With 3 KO Losses in his last 4 fights he's done...

[iWorld champion Khan could face Hatton, says trainer[/i

Tough one to call really, was there last night and Lebedev looks really useful, while Enzo is a pale shadow of his former self.

I would also like to big up the Frankie Gavin fans, especially the one who knocked out a woman in the crowd, never seen such a bunch of tools in my life.

The best performance on the night for me was by Kell Brook, definately going on to bigger and better things.

Someone hit a woman in the crowd ?

I take it that that will have been seen and the tool dealt with.

Can't see the Hatton V Khan fight going a head but you never know. Would hate Hatton to lose to him but would love it if he knocked 10 shades out of him

Yeah, Police had him.

There was a crowd of about 30 Birmingham fans, ed up when I got there about 6.30, spent all night singing "We hate Villa".

This bloke sparked the woman, later on they were fighting again.

I was sat near former British champ and film star, Scott Welch. Surprisingly none of them said anything to him.

Was a prat for taking the Haye fight. he made Haye and wrecked his own career in the process.

I think Hatton would struggle with him. Khan is a far better boxer under Roach, his speed and footwork wouldn't allow Hatton to get too close to him.

Agree with that. Would make Khan the fave tbh.

Warren says Khan would KO Hatton

Never really liked Khan but I thought last night I'd give him aother chance, and took the view that if he won, he deserved to be world champion.

And I stand by that. His foot work and hand speed won him the fight last night, and his slightly better reach didn't do him any harm either.

IMO it was alot of pitter patter from Khan, which deservedly won him the fight. I think his lack of power will prevent him beating anyone truely world class however.

Agree. Cant stand Kahn

Its tough to say weather Khan has good power or not, Kotelnik is a tough fighter who's never been down.

On the fight, Khan outclassed him from start to finish, and when he had to take a shot he took it well and came back with some good shots. I still think he needs one or two more fights before he can fight someone like Bradley. I think Kendal Holt would be a good opponent at this stage.

All the Olympians looked good, DeGay put in his best performance, but my god the guy is a complete tool. "DeGold is Bold" WTF. A massive ring introduction despite only having 3 fights. I can't bring myself to back the guy, he's Audley mark 2.

That was incredibly tidy by Khan, and well matched by Frank Warren.

If you're that quick and have hands that fast, you don't necessarily need to be able to blow people away. Let's not forget either that this was a weight up from his previous fights (bar one), punch resistance is going to be better than he's used to.

Maintained his composure well when he did come under pressure too.

He needs to be praying that Freddie Roach stays healthy enough for long enough to teach him everything he needs to know going forward.

Personally I think Hatton should be walking away right now from boxing before he puts his body through another crash dieting cycle and f*cks it up completely.

Khan will either fight his mandatory (Salita), or the interim WBA champ Maidana (who beat Ortiz, but lost to Kotelnik). And then if he wins that will probably fight the winner of Diaz-Mallinagi.

Morales has also been mentioned.

If Hatton fights again it'll be at welterweight.

Hatton would be mad to fight at Welterweight, he can't bully people at Welterweight like he can light welter. Hatton has nothing to prove, he should just retire. He's a legend in my eyes, maybe not for his boxing ability but for his ability to attract fans and the risks he has taken.

As for Khan, the world is his oyster now. He will have a list the length of his arm on who he could possibly face. I've said it for years but Khan is the next big thing. He will be absolutely awesome with 3 or 4 more years under Roach, especially when he adapts to the weight divisions.

I'd say that is the key.

Before Roach came in, Khan was fighting like an amateur without a helmet; gloves down, just throwing windmill after windmill.

He has improved massively since Roach took over, and if they can work together for a good few years, Khan could really make it.

So much rests on Roach's health.

Khan would make mincemeat out of Hatton. Hatton should just retire gracefully.

Oh yes!

As long as Pac gets battered I don't care. Cotto seems to have been written off already though.

It's not Floyd Manny though

Why? Just out of interest. I keep hearing/reading people saying he is cocky, arrogant etc....I don't actually see that in him, and besides, name a great boxer who doesn't have an air of arrogance around them?
