*** The Official Boxing Thread ***Do Not Discuss Illegal Streams

There is a trend to earlier interventions from referees these days. Having never boxed I can't say I'm comfortable criticising this but I'm not sure that with Khan not having been on the floor that he didn't deserve a little bit longer despite the fact that he was looking beaten. Ironically Khan looked on wobblier legs in the first round vs the 6th. Hard to judge if Brook has another big fight in him but respect to him for getting in the shape to take this one out.

I’ve never boxed either but I think it has to be a good thing. Onus is on the fighters to demonstrate they’re still in the fight knowing the stoppage might come earlier.
 
Brook needs to stay the **** away from Eubank, he's too big and fast for him although when you consider there's only 3 years between them, it really shows what a hype job/underachiever Eubank is.
 
If they’re trying to serve him up to Eubank Jr that’s even worse!

He had no power to trouble GGG at middleweight 5 years ago back when he was in his prime and before his face got broke twice, Eubanks a waste of space but he would walk down Kell and beat him up.
 
Eubank is fighting at 160lbs or even at super middleweight. There isn't a match there. Benn is at welterweight but I can't see why he would take a fight with Brook. He's on his way up and needs a world title shot not a payday against an ageing fighter on the slide. Makes no sense.
 
Very good stoppage by ref, khan wouldn’t quit and it’s no good taking shots like that at his age.

That’s what’s refs are in there to do, saved him from further punishment and possibly even worse.

lol at @Pigeon_Killer, proper big man you are calling a guy who given his all a coward lol
 
Given his all? :D

It was meant to be a fight, not a running away competition.

He's spent half his career mocking Brook and the second he tasted his power he didn't want any of that fight.
 
Kell was the better fighter tonight. I feel sorry for Khan, but he isn’t what he once was. He’s made his money, call it a day and move on.

As for Kell, I think him and Eubank jr would be a good fight. I’d pay to watch that.
 
Right I'm off to youtube to reply to all the Khan fanboys that I've been telling to just wait until Saturday night. Nah no point, they'll have disappeared just like they did after the Prescott fight. So glad that the right man won, the better all round fighter, it was a one sided beat down, a proper boxing lesson. We don't need to listen to all the BS anymore, it was settled once and for all. THAT is why Khan had been avoiding the fight all these years.
 
Benn is doing well for someone with such little amateur experience, he's learning and showing improvements each fight. Will he go on to win a world title? I'm not so sure, but you can't knock him for the effort he is putting in

Doing much better than Eubank Jr, that's for sure
