figgy Posted February 20, 2022 Report Share Posted February 20, 2022 Khan still had his glove speed but didn’t land many. Was almost shadow boxing with his combos. Khan took a fair few good hits that I thought would have floored him. Walked right into one that shook him to his boots. Hope he don’t suffer long term form form the blows he took. credit to Brooks he was much better at landing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There trying to make eubank vs connor benn at a catch weight of 154lb. All about money Now there's talk of Tyson Fury taking a MMA match against Francis Ngannou...

I'd also be genuinely worried for an MMA's safety. At some point, a boxer's going to land a real haymaker on an MMA fighter and it's going to cost them because they're not used to the straight line punching power a boxer needs to develop when that's the only weapon they have.

Keep the disciplines separate - and credible Randy Couture had a fight with an ex boxer at some point, not a world heavy weight champion, it was over fast by submission, I see no point in the current heavy weight champion fighting in MMA that's worse than Mike Tyson fighting again 😆😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjpainter Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 For those who haven't seen any of the fight, there is a highlights reel on Youtube. It'll make it clear why the ref stepped in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mice! Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 You can't argue with that, Brook nearly finished it at the end of the 3rd,4th,5th then Khan had no reply in the 6th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
