How do you see amir career now after that fight? to be knocked out within 50 seconds of the match was not good to see at all, i don't think he will ever recover from this and it's sad to see, the guy he fought was an unknown and looked in far better shape.

I know i wasn't expecting that at all, the guy did have a reputation of having knockout power though, I too have been wondering if Khan can come back from this, will be a big -*test*-('") mentally. He's been getting a lot of stick since the fight with people now all jumping on the 'he only fights no-bodies, and the one time he fought someone decent he got nailed,' ban wagon, which to be honest you can see why people say that but I think it's a little unfair. Khan is a great young boxer with lightening fast hands who has advanced his career and his skills at a rapid pace, I think it's mainly the promoters and media that are a bit to blame for always portraying him as super human and the only boxer in the world with such good skills etc which is obviously not true. If he learns from the fight and can recover well mentally I think he may be able to put his career back on track but I think to get anywhere back to the status he had he would need a rematch with Prescott at sometime and obviously would need to win. I think Khan was too confident going into the fight, underestimated Prescott and has never fought anyone with such powerful punches. Easily said afterwards but he should of kept his chin down and hands up against someone with Prescotts power and should of tried to recover more after the first KO instead of trying to prove he was fine and jumping straight back in rather than buying time, not that he could think straight after that KO it was a great strike by Prescott. Will be interesting to see what happens next with Khan though... :shock:
