Comrade 86 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 twit that I am I'm actually watching it now. Kell had better knock him out or I'll be demanding a refund. Chester40 and Alph 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnero Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Ha ha nice one Kell. Same result if they'd have fought at their peak too, rubber legs Khan never could take a punch. Alph 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His hand speed is 5 punches p/s but his recovery is 5s per punch Carnero 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubbs Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Khan looked awful, no defence and was pillow fisted. Could tell from his ring walk he was nervous and boy did he look it. Wobbly legs every time he was punched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Khan was shot. He actually looked better against Canelo a few years back before the KO. He has lost his speed, and he had no power against Brook who looked huge compared to him. Khan was a fantastic fighter at 135 and 140 but every time he has faced a big puncher at 147 he has lost. Brook just walked him down. So one-sided. The equivalent would be Brook fighting against a big puncher at 160. Oh yeah, he did that, and same result happened.

Comrade 86 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Said Kell would destroy Khan and he duly did. Khan was beat before he even got in the ring. He knew what was coming but I guess the lure of pound notes and a lack of relevant opportunities elsewhere led him to roll the dice. Actually pretty impressed with Kell who looked sharp and focussed, way better than I've seen him for a while. That said, not sure where either fighter goes from here. Happy for Kell all the same.

Kell could go up to 154. At Welter Spence and Bud are superior, especially the latter. 154 is a pretty poor division so Charlo is an option or an all British fight with Liam Smith. Brook looked massive at 149 compared to Khan so 154 should be easy for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester40 Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 (edited) Fair play to them both, they put themselves on the line. But Johnny Nelson was right, Kel just wanted it more. He was already naturally bigger and more powerful, and he just wanted it so much that he hunted Khan down and bashed him about. Ref probably stopped it a tad early, but there was only one winner regardless. Agree the undercard was shocking. 2nd biggest fight was a women's 'world title' fight with a contender who had lost almost as many times as she had won and ready to hit the deck every time she was touched. PS won't happen, but Brook smashing the smug grin off Eubank Jnrs face I'd pay to see. Edited February 20, 2022 by Chester40 Alph 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Kell a lot and with better fortune he could have been set for life in the same way as Khan, but Eubank Jr tips the scales at over 160 and I'd wager good money he would do to Kell what Kell just did to Khan. I'd hate to see that fight made, but as you point out, it'll most likely never happen anyway. Despite a similar weight discrepancy, Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn, is another huge all-British fight and one I would love to see assuming Conor can fill his frame a little more. Hopefully they don't dance around the fire as long as Khan chose to with Kell. The history between Nige and Chris Sr just adds even more spice though whether Hearn and Sauerland would be as keen as their fighters I'm not sure. One thing is for certain and that is that the UK fight scene is as vibrant right now as for many a year. The next couple of years could be a rare vintage indeed and not just in a square ring either.

Hopefully Hearn will mind the lad as I honestly think he's got too much heart for his own good. That said, who could begrudge him a last decent payday? Glad it's not my call.

RadioactiveWaste Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Ok I'm not a major boxing fan, but, a shout out to both kiltschko brothers. They could both be counting their money in a luxury mansion far away from things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
