pesky1972 4,924 Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 Crawford rightly massive favourite but I’ve stuck a few quid on Khan at 17/2. I think he’s worth a punt at those odds. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MickC 1,825 Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 Khan even at the end of his career will still be the best fighter Crawford has faced, id like to see Khan pull it off but its a big ask . 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dytkos 17,528 Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 Khan will look ok for maybe 5 rounds then it'll all be downhill from there. Cheers, D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Think I agree with that D...it's the right weight for him though, it will be a tough night for Crawford I reckon....there's a lot of miles on Khans clock though, he's always taken tough fights fair play to him... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Billy b 724 Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 Wouldlnt disagree with mick that to date resume wise,Khan is crawfords best opponent but that's the thing about boxing,you can have fights that appear more competitive than they will be in all seriousness - if boxing wasn't so bad at making the right fights then we all know crawford has far more competitive fights out there for him anything can happen,Khan could have a great night or Crawford could have an off night,but for me despite resumes & past opponents the level of assertion & prescence in the ring between the two is miles apart - khans quick & he's slick,got plenty of skill but in the here & the now I don't think he's got nearly enough to beat bud boxing is a lot about timing,and this is just bad timing for khan,as skilled as he is 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 29,570 Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 I dont really follow foreign fighters or Yank fighters very much but having seen Crawford fight a couple of times i would imagine this will probably put the lid on Khans career i dont think he has that many miles on the clock as the ko,s he has suffered have been quick brutal knockouts rather than sustained beatings but i just dont think he has the structure or reflexes for a hard fight anymore.

Like I say id love to see him have one last hurrah and pull the win off over Crawford but it could well be like gnash says his last fight. Even if he did win id like to see him retire rather than fight on or even worse give Brook the fight he has been craving for,Brook should be looking to take title holders on instead of basically begging Khan for a career defining payday imo .

Think if he did pull off the miracle and stop bud, spence the boogie man could well be his next fight and he don’t really need no part of that, like has been said before some people need protecting from there selves, we all like to think we have one last roll of the dice in us even when others can see its over 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dytkos 17,528 Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 Glad I'm at work watching the Khan fight and didn't pay for it TKO to Crawford cos he caught Amir in the nuts after having him over in the first round. Cheers, D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers, D. Although I think enough is enough and Khan did not show anything to make me think he should relaunch his hopes of being a champion, bud crawford rated by many as the p4p goat did not look that great either considering he was fighting a has been with a glass chin, think the biggest winner was Errol spence jr as He now knows he,s the best of that bunch by a way 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
