Watching the back clips of the fight from last night brings
forth a painful vision for the future of British boxing. Huge contrasts can
start to take shape from the sorry excuses of today, to the hard hitting greats
of British boxing such as the likes of Bruno, Ben, Eubanks and the most recent
Lewis. The wannabe pretenders in my eyes have failed to emulate their predecessor’s
exploits, evidently falling short. In my opinion Khan needs give a bite into
the sweet fruit of humility, as he plays the blame game as a consequence for
punching above his own weight." It was like I was against two people in
there- the referee and Lamont himself," Said Amir Khan. The replays and
highlights will show there are only two fighters in the ring, four individual
hands to separate you from winning and losing. A boy whines and complains when
his chips are down; a man loses the fight gracefully. He goes on to await his
next challenge knowing he will put things right. The glorious sport is in
danger of becoming just another soap opera, timidly following in the footsteps
of wrestling...
