Any one paying the fee to sky to watch this bout. Should be a cracker with neither man being beaten. Both weighed in at 9st 8and a half pounds. Also quite a few other good bouts in the offering.

I cannot believe anyone would pay £15 to watch that.

To be honest, I'd rather watch someone fight JOHN Prescott :D

Even with the other bouts it's a joke to charge for this package. I would'nt watch Audley Harrison if he was boxing in my front room.

Not strictly true. I'd watch it if I did'nt have to pay for it.

LOL at Khan, he was made to look a complete gobby **** by the dingified Columbian.

Having said that, Prescott looked awesome and never even hit him with his more powerful right. Khan should have gone on the backfoot for a round or two and then maybe stepped it up later but maybe the pressure of trying to put on a good performance for SKY got the better of him.

Then again, Prescott looks like a future world champion and even when they showed him in all the previews he looked like a man who had a mentally tougher conditioning and his background maybe be what made him the tough and confident guy that I saw this evening.

I know posturing is all part of boxing, but when he said he'd knock Khan out, I sort of got the impession that he really had the utmost confidence in doing that.

I had to laugh at Khan though, giving it all the mouth and then struggling for breath when he was on the canvas, totally humiliated and outclassed for all to see.

Where was Allah when he needed him?

Might as well watch all 50 seconds of it on youtube now, like I just did.

I can see one massive downside to this. We all know Frank Warren likes to give his fighters nice easy fights to they get to 20-0, 30-0, whatever before they really face a real test. He put Khan in with a dangerous fighter, Khan gets knocked out inside a minute. Now what crappy fights in Frank Warren going to serve us up?!

The super slo-mo of the final punch was awesome!

I'm no boxing expert, but methinks he should have taken the count on the first knockdown rather than getting up immediately in Bambi-esque fashion.

Don't think we will see him on box office and top of the bill again for a while. He needs to prove himself by winning British and European titles before thinking about word title ambitions. He's not even the best lightweight in Manchester.

In one of the Sunday papers, they said the crowd were cheering his oponent. :lol:

He reckons he's going to be a world champion in 2009! What I dislike is that Harrison's fights are always dull affairs, but seem to always be on TV. Whereas Danny Williams has had some brilliant fights in the last year/18 months but we hear nothing about them.

Frank Warren is the knob who admitted afterwards he had concerns about Prescott. The promoter who usually serves up easy opponents for his fighters.

At least Khan will have learned a lesson and come back stronger - or so I hope so.

What annoyed me was Warren trying to say it was the wrong opponent and infering it was only the wrong one because he had a chance to win! Surely if you put a fighter on PPV then it needs to be a competitive fight? Khan proved what many have been saying for a while - he just doesn't have a chin. He may learn to defend, and he'll still have good speed but I doubt his punch resistance and his power.

By the way I did succumb and pay for it so yes I can confirm the crowd were cheering for Harrison's opponent and quite rightly. Harrison fought in 30 second bursts for maybe two rounds against a lighter, smaller fighter who was a natural cruiserweight. Add Alex Arthur's apparent willingness to concede his title (forget his whinging about the judges - he knew he'd lost well before the 12th round) and it was a depressing night. At least Nicky Cook showed a bit of hunger and ring craft.
