Anyone watching?
Langford lucky to have survived there.

Eggington gone in rd 2.
Would have been earlier if the other guy had any power

Am I right in thinking Sam was 1/100 before the fight?

No sure but I'm nearly sure Sam was 1/100 on ladbrokes 30 mins ago. Some odds on Hassan ko rd2 I'd say.
Eggington looked unusual in there. Standing at the ropes, 1st round with guard Down getting slapped

Morrison J

Think the opponent was 16/1. Eggington hasn't progressed whatsoever. Zero defense.

Khan will cruise here, possibly get a stoppage after the mid rounds

Down!

And that's why Khan will never be a great, he's far too sloppy on the defense with a glass chin. He'll win this handily still but it's about his level.

Mad fight so far. Anything could happen

walshb

Will catch it on record. Khan’s finished. Never a real pro..

Khan's the exact same raw fighter with promise he was when he started, problem is that he's 31 and not 21 now. He's got bags of talent and glove speed but he's no discipline and hasn't improved or progressed as a fighter in a decade.

Bags of what talent?

He has speed...that’s about it...

Good/great pros have and need a lot more...

normanoffside

Vargas is not even a puncher

Johner

Brook stops Khan.

duffman13

Khan awful, last 4 rounds did nothing. Sky of course saying he's must see etc.

walshb

Caught last 5 rds. Khan looked sh1t...clearly past his best..

NEVER doubt my ability to ghost ANYONE!

Khan made a real dogs dinner of that one, despite the score cards.

He shoulda had that wrapped up early and was on queer street twice. While no world beater I really liked Vargas there, hard head and never stopped. Could have got Khan out of there if there was another minute in the 10th.

Think so..

Wouldn’t say that a few years ago..

Only issue I’d have is that Kell is flat footed and not a hunter...

Could definitely score a counter punch KO, but he’s not a big puncher...

duffman13

****in Khan doing all he can to dodge Brook. Wants Manny...

I still think a shadow Manny can ko him.

PEACEBROTHER

if They don’t fight next that’s it then

these should of fought years ago - it’s real dragging on and by the looks of Amir tonight he is going to really struggle v brook


Still a fight I’d love to see but whoever loses now at this stage will have to retire

Morrison J

Good fight that and the right guy won for sure. Good cards. No idea why Porter tried to box for the first three rounds. Basically gave them away. Once he did his usual and upped the output he was clearly the better fighter.

walshb

Very close fight. Overall I thought Danny deserved it. Controlled most of the rds...

Johner

Just watched it this morning, I had Garcia winning 115-113. Close fight though.

walshb

Garcia's problem is his overly casual/lack of urgency style. He just doesn’t grab a fight by the scruff and really take it to the foe..

ebbsy

Pac_man only has limited fights left.

And doubt if he will waste one of them on Khan.

Had it the same, 4-4 after 8 but I though Garcia won 9,10 and 12.

I’d be very disappointed with the judges if I was Garcia.

normanoffside

Kownacki vs Martin was a cracking fight although they are clearly both very limited.

Sprinter Sacre

I had it 115-113 Porter and feel he would have been hard done by if it was a draw or a Garcia win. Anyone catch Spence next to Porter after the fight? Spence looked a good weight class if not two bigger than Porter.

walshb

When I heard unanimous I really expected it to be Garcia..
