That was a proper KO!
He's got a glass jaw. But it's what makes him so watchable. Why he was put in the ring with a 17 KO's from 19 fights fighter is absolute madness.
Frank Warren has just taken responsibility for the loss. Said "his new trainer told me to book the fight, but it's my fault."
Khan can't take a punch. He's proved that every time he's been hit. Why oh why was he put in the ring with such a hitter!?
The greatest fighters have lost... hope he comes back. He's not the greatest and never will be with a chin like that... like I said, he's great to watch.

Absolutely marmalised. Got caught after 20 seconds and that was it. Legs went to jelly and he was in a dream world. Having said that for the 20 seconds of the fight where Khan wasnt on his ass, Prescott looked a decent fighter. Good balance and punched from the hip.
Tough to see a way back for Khan. Will he ever have enough confidence to step up and it looksas though if he gets caught by a big punch he will go. Not something you can train for.

As I said on COYS Khan will never be able to fight at the very highest level of his weight division because he has a shit defence and a glass chin. Seriously Khan got sat on his arse by Willie Limond who in boxing terms doesn't technically have any punching power.
Crazy decision to put him in with a guy with a 90% KO sucess rate.

He won't Kaye. Not sure he has the chin to be a world champion boxer. Having a good solid chin that can take a punch is not something you can teach so unfortunately I don't think he will make it out of the domestic/european scene.

Totally agree, which is a shame, because he has so much ability. If he could take a punch then maybe with his talent he could have made it.

I honestly believe he has possible the weakest chin I have ever seen in a professional boxer that has been hyped the way he has. I really wish I had put money on Prescott now because I was going to but could remember my password for betfair so I didn't bother. :-(

Cheers for the vid Nidge, missed the fight but dooesnt look like it mattered cause I've just seen it all Eek
Shame, because I thought he was a real prospect, but it looks like he was another Naseem Hamed - hand picked opponents, and when he came up against someone with a decent punch or a bit of quality, he was found out. I have to agree with you, a glass jaw is a huge disadvantage in this game, writing was on the wall for the last few fights tbh.

It would need to be an exceptional amount of money, getting hit like that again ain't good for the brain!:duh:

I shouldn't think they'll be a rematch for this one. What would be the point? Who'd pay for it?

When you see the likes of that last night - yes.
Watch Marco Antonio Barrera vs Erik Morales' first fight and that might change your opinion.
Poor old Sky ha ha.
How are they liking their big deal now?
The build up this week by Sky comparing khan with the likes of Hatton, Lewis and hamed has been a joke and they and Khan got their just deserts after a string of bums.
He wouldn't even beat Kevin Mitchell who is working his way up as any genuine fighter should.
fast tracked for obvious reasons but this game will always find you out and Khan has been exposed in world terms as an absolute no hoper.
