Khan doesn't know what type of fighter he wants to be. Either a fast offensive fighter or a cautious jab and move fighter.

I see an upset here.

by **Union Cane** Sat Apr 27, 2013 5:30 pm

Khan the aggressor, 20-18, but Diaz has taken a couple without any trouble. Once Diaz starts throwing back it could get interesting.

by KingMonkey Sat Apr 27, 2013 5:30 pm

It staggers me how Khan drops his right hand so much. As he jabs loop in a long hook a la Garcia and you're done.

Only thing offended is your intelligence.

And the PC brigade probably.

Why?

Boxing > brawling for me always.

I like the fact that when he got tagged in the 2nd round Khan didn't rush in to reply, took his time regained his composure.

Unable to watch this. Having trouble with my "TV" Whistle

I would say this is more 2 foreigners having a dust-up, than 1 Englishman and 1 foreigner, but I'd probably be labelled a racist!

This is why to me it's such an intriguing fight. The guy's at a crossroads. I wonder if during the mid rounds Khan will forget everything in training camp and go all guns blazing. I don't know if Diaz is like Maidana and can bring it out of him though.

by davidemore Sat Apr 27, 2013 5:33 pm

Diaz has landed a few shots. Amir needs to learn to block punches.

Khan was born and bred in Bolton, England Duty. Have a day off.

by azania Sat Apr 27, 2013 5:33 pm

Nah. You'd be labelled an idiot.

p!ss off you nob

by Sugar Floyd Louis Sat Apr 27, 2013 5:34 pm

Who did you guys give the third round?

by azania Sat Apr 27, 2013 5:34 pm

Why that stupid music between rounds?

by **hampo17** Sat Apr 27, 2013 5:35 pm

by Sugar Floyd Louis Sat Apr 27, 2013 5:35 pm

OOOOHHH MY GOOOODDD

by davidemore Sat Apr 27, 2013 5:36 pm

Chinny!

by **hampo17** Sat Apr 27, 2013 5:36 pm

That was a good shot and now we see what he's learnt.

by **seanmichaels** Sat Apr 27, 2013 5:36 pm

BOOOOOOM

by Cast a Shadow Sat Apr 27, 2013 5:36 pm

Got a funny feeling Diaz is gonna land something meaningful around halfway...

by **Union Cane** Sat Apr 27, 2013 5:36 pm

Chin chin chin, chinny chin chin.

by davidemore Sat Apr 27, 2013 5:36 pm

Amir has NO chin! None.

by Cast a Shadow Sat Apr 27, 2013 5:37 pm

Sooner than you think eh?

by **hampo17** Sat Apr 27, 2013 5:37 pm

He didn't look to have suffered an after effects from that knockdown. More of a flash one compared to the others he's suffered in the past.

by Champagne_Socialist Sat Apr 27, 2013 5:37 pm

why did diaz not rush khan after the kd?

by Sugar Floyd Louis Sat Apr 27, 2013 5:37 pm

That's it, Khan will revert to old ways now. I feel robbed cause I was enjoying the boxing and this is just going to be fast paced now.

Whoever posted above about Virgil not being able to fix Khan's chin, you're right Laugh

by davidemore Sat Apr 27, 2013 5:38 pm

Fu** me his hands are too low.

by KingMonkey Sat Apr 27, 2013 5:38 pm

Been saying it all night; left hook because his right guard was not there.

by **seanmichaels** Sat Apr 27, 2013 5:38 pm

can't beat a bit of the quo between rounds

by davidemore Sat Apr 27, 2013 5:39 pm

Left hooks all day long against Khan. He lacks head movement.

by Sugar Floyd Louis Sat Apr 27, 2013 5:39 pm

Virgil is right though, Khan NEEDS to stick to keep his range. I give him no chance if he doesn't box and stay away, cause Diaz WILL land another left.

there is many who claim that both muslims and christians worship the same god. there are a lot of similarities between religions.

by azania Sat Apr 27, 2013 5:40 pm

Well it was coming.

Now he's fighting scared.

by davidemore Sat Apr 27, 2013 5:40 pm

Amir, make two words out of these three words.

General.

Ship.

Ring.

by **hampo17** Sat Apr 27, 2013 5:41 pm

Very good boxing from Khan in that round. Took his time and went back to boxing. Hunter is a lot calmer in the corner after the knockdown compared to Roach and Ariza which I think helps Khan.

by Strongback Sat Apr 27, 2013 5:41 pm

Khan circling to avoid left hook.

by TheMackemMawler Sat Apr 27, 2013 5:41 pm

Khan try's to put too much into his jab, concentrates entirely on it's speed and 'power' and ends up forgetting his defense and bow and arrowing - leaving him open to the left hook.

by davidemore Sat Apr 27, 2013 5:41 pm

Head movement. Hands up, and do not run.

by Strongback Sat Apr 27, 2013 5:44 pm

Khan is going to get tired.

by TheMackemMawler Sat Apr 27, 2013 5:44 pm

Overall, so far, a good display by Khan....

by Sugar Floyd Louis Sat Apr 27, 2013 5:45 pm

Fair play, Khan's showing maturity here...

by **hampo17** Sat Apr 27, 2013 5:45 pm

Another round for Khan. Boxing very well on the back foot not allowing Diaz to set himself.

by Soldier_Of_Fortune Sat Apr 27, 2013 5:45 pm

Who is picking the music between rounds Laugh

I have Khan 58-54

by davidemore Sat Apr 27, 2013 5:45 pm

Got Khan up by one.

by **seanmichaels** Sat Apr 27, 2013 5:46 pm

is tony bellew comentating?

by ONETWOFOREVER Sat Apr 27, 2013 5:46 pm

Diaz put Khan down

You joking I am working cant see the fight but thought this was ''easy bread'' for Khan as Broner would say.

Nah Paul Smith

Oh dear Amir!

Amir on the run, its not really world beating stuff, this was meant to be training wheels coming off.

by davidemore Sat Apr 27, 2013 5:47 pm

If Amir throws when on the run then he'll have no power in his shots, tire and get caught... AGAIN.
