Damn I missed this over the weekend:
Hope he makes a good recovery and has no lasting damage, the KO looked pretty vicious.

Hope he recovers and comes out healthy.
Once again the scoring needs to be looked at (don't get me started on the Wilder/Fury fight, will leave my comments on that to the other thread) and is partly to blame for this and having a fighter in this condition.
Stevenson was gassed after 4 rounds and losing the fight but was up on the scorecards somehow when he was stopped. If the Ukranian didn't go for the KO they would have robbed him and even given it draw or a win to the american fighter. One of the judges had it 98-92 to Stevenson.
No surprise that both Stevenson and Wilder are Al Haymon fighters on Showtime cards.

I watched Tyson V Wilder with Ukraine voiceover, didn't understand any commentary. At the end I was thinking "wow, Wilder has done it"

A lot of people, including myself, thought Khan was the type of fighter that could easily end up getting seriously injured. At what point do we start considering the fact that he might already be brain damaged?
His family and trainers need to do everything they can to keep him out of the ring with Crawford.

He'd rather get KO'd by Crawford than lose to Brook.
Caporegime
It does seem to be that way. Few former pros on Sky are now saying he's doing everything he can to avoid him so we'll see what his response is in a few days.
He's never beating either of them, but he'd surely make a lot more by fighting Brook.
Does he think Brook is going to wait forever? I know he has trouble with his eyes, if it doesn't happen soon it might never happen. He can't have many fights left with his eyes as bad as they are.

I think Khan has a much better chance of beating Kell Brook boiled down to welter than Crawford.
Soldato
Speaking of Brook he's just about to step into the ring now for what I guess is meant to be an easy nights work.

Even Buffer can't get me hyped for this fight. Why's Buffer even here? It's a miniscule fight in the grand scheme of things.
Soldato
I wondered why Buffer was there as well! Only calls the main events as well so come all the way over from America for a few minutes work for a nothing fight.
Can't see really see the point of this matchup at all, Brooks not got many miles left on the clock with those dodgy eye sockets pointless wasting them in mismatches like this.

Brook's looking terrible so far. If he wins and goes after Hurd, based on this performance, he's getting his face wrecked again.
Soldato
Having said that this is a pretty horrible performance so far.
Unless this is an ultimate rope a dope to try lure Khan into fighting him he looks pretty finished at the top level here.

Soldato
I've given Brook every round so far, I think he may be a bit too eager to get the KO. Even at 70% though he beats Khan imo.
Soldato
Think it’s Brook has underestimated this guy as opposed to him being finished.
Caporegime
This might be the worst fight I've watched all year. Brook has been shocking, absolutely shocking and I'd give Khan a chance against him now.
I think so too. I've given him a few rounds and a few even.
And he is lulling Khan in to a false sense of security!
