£45 and up to watch a bloke who hasn't fought for three years against an unnamed opponent?



Pie shops across the north west must be rubbing their hands.

Khan has sacked Freddie Roach.



No real surprise, I expect him to hire Nazim Richardson.

He can hire who he wants, but if he continues to believe he is Mike Tyson once the bell goes, then he will continue to get himself knocked out.



Khan needs to see that it is he who is the problem and not the trainer - Are we expected to believe that Roach advised him that going toe-to-toe with heavy punchers, would be a wise move??

hatton v ndou a possible? doesnt set the heart racing!



good win for martinez lastnight

Yep, fair play to him for wanting to give the fans entertining fights but he simply can't keep going to to war or he'll end up on the scrap heap well before 30. However I do think Roach is an overrated trainer and Khan hasn't really improved under his tuition. Yes, he holds his hands up more and moves a bit better but thats about it., his jab has also improved, but he's always had a decent jab. Coincidentally, Chavez jnr took a bit of a leathering for 11 rounds against Martinez (hard to beleive he's 37, and only started boxing in his mid 20s), that means his 3 main fighters have all lost this year.



Personally, if I was Khan I'd hire Manny Steward, Steward knows how to get fighters to usetheir natural attributes to full effect. He's very good with tall fighters in particular. Whatever happens the next few months for Khan are crucial, another bad defeat and his career will be hanging by a thread if it isn't already. Oh and apprantly he could be fighting Lucas Matthysse next (32W (30KOs), L 2). Matthysse is arguably the best in the division right now and is a huge puncher. It would be a massive risk for Khan, fair play to him if he fights him.

A good shout, but absolutely no chance of it happening, considering Khan is looking for somebody who can dedicate themselves 100% to him.

Dunno. Vlad is the only 'big name' I can think of that Steward currently trains, and he's not going to be around much longer you would think. However I still think it will be Richardson. Hopkins has just about retired, as has Mosley. He seems to the prim candidate for me.

I've heard Khan has asked Virgil Hunter (Andre Ward's trainer) to train him.

So Hatton vs Senchenko. Thoughts?



Senchenko is a big WW and can bang so he's dangerous. However, he was stopped by Paulie Mallinaggi in his own gaff so its a very winnable fight for Hatton.

senchenko who....



mallinaggi stopped him which says alot, will see how hatton returns

It'll be (IIRC) only the second time Senchenko has fought outside of either the Ukraine or Russia. The only name on his record is the defeat to Malignaggi. Perfect patsy for a successful comeback.

Talks have begun re a proposed Brook v Khan fight. Now that I would be very interested in.
