    Did anybody happen to see Amir Khan's fight last night? I kid u not it was laughable, Sky Box Office sign a 6 fight deal with him, Frank Warren promoting him, the big entrance, smoke, coloured lights walkway etc etc.
    35 seconds into Round 1, he is on the floor and it was all over, the ref had to give the 10 count so it was officially 51 seconds or something but I couldnt believe what I was seeing!
    Surely thats the end of him now, in the 5 remaining fights on box office he wont reach a world title fight?

    how he got a 6 Fight Sky Deal i'll never know but good luck to the Lad,he'll be Paid now no matter who he Fights...
    he should've learned from the early hit between the Gloves.that rattled him and instead of backing away he continued to come forward and was caught with a few beauties...

    I saw the fight in the pub last night. He got some beating, he was way overhyped anyway.
    The funniest thing was half an hour after the fight sky were advertising the repeat of the fight on boxoffice for about 20 quid:)

    Very funny on SSN today they were talking about it saying he was knocked out in the a minute but if you want to see it you can purchase it on Sky Box office, Why the F*** would you pay to see it when you know its over in a minute!

    Was going to stay up for it last night and said I would watch the replay today. Turned on SSN this morning and I nearly collapsed laughing. Frank Warren had a face on him like a Bear sitting on a Nettle.

    Sky must be well sickened, apart from Hatton they have not anyone like Eubank and Hamed since the 90s

    Did u see Warren get out of his seat when he was flat on his back and out of it?!haha. Then in the ring talking to Khan, it must have been 'right u tell them u were caught cold, I will stand beside u and we will get by the interview'haha.
    I have to admit I never rated it but I never expected to see what I say after 35 seconds!

    He hadnt fought anybody decent up to now but I am sure with the amount of hype for all his previous fights against poor opposition they have all made a fortune, him, Warren and SKY

    Fockin knew he'd be beat but bottled putting a few bob on it. Didn't know he signed a 6 fight deal, that's an absolute disaster for Sky

    I love boxing and watch all the fights but couldn't justify paying box office for Khan, it was outrageous to ask boxing fans to pay for a fighter this early into his career
