The one in the disco ball shorts.

Lawson looks very hesitant. Early predictions.. it's in the bag, figuratively speaking..

He's very very talented but I wish they'd find someone good enough to provide some entertainment. Lawton did well to ride it out for that long!

Almost made it look easy!

Good fight, was hoping to see more from it but a good show none the less.

Did Bruno move during that fight at all, hardly saw any emotion from the big fella. Hatton is looking a bit trimmer than when he had the press tour for the FMJ fight, the training is paying off well.

Oh yes, and Khan did well against a limited opponent.

I watched this last night, the opponent was terrible, he was scared. He barely threw a punch, couple of week jabs and then counter punches hoping to get lucky. Limmond was a real challenge for khan and he was found wanting in a good few places, how putting chumps like last nights guy up against him will prapare him for a world title shot I have no idea. Ricky Hatton wasnt exactly overawed by the performance either going by his polite clap at then end.

That other bloke was useless - ! Never seen a fighter with his head so much in the air - waiting to be bloody hit - and he was.

Complete mismatch.

Safe to say if Khan was American, he'd have been in with some serious fighters by now. They're protecting him at the moment. Get him over to the US and put him in with someone who can box - then we;ll see.

Sure, he's good entertainment but let's face it - I'd have bet myself to land a punch on the other bloke in there.

And he had no punch (the other bloke) so Khan KNEW he wasn't going to get floored.

They protected naseem too much, as soon as he went to the states he got pasted. Think kahn should have a proper fight and his management shouldnt worry about him losing, he could learn a lot from it.

Yeah but it's all a money thing - if he loses - his marketability and therefore the big bucks he can earn goes west.

They're protecting him til they can get him a big fight for a world title or such ... which knowing the bent governing bodies Warren should secure because of the momney the fight will earn.

Then we'll find out how good he is.

Hamed was a good fighter and had some good wars in the States but ultimately found himself in with someone who was a better fighter so the 'legend' ended ...

As we all knew it would when he came up against someone *really* good.
