Latest boxing crack

Watching the open workout, Kell looks sharp and mobile. I wonder what weight he's at now.

Anyone know what the crack is if he just doesn't bother making the agreed weight? Kahn won't walk away, surely?
.
So its a fine if he misses weight. Considering how important this seems to be to Kell, he should just pay it and take the advantage to the ring.

Kahn seems to be blanking this open session mind, not showing anything at all.

100k per lb iirc, but also a rehydration clause

This is what I don't get. If Kahn can't recover, why didn't it go to the scorecards? There's no point standing there in pain if you know you cannot recover in 5 minutes.
So the cards didn't matter, he won by TKO from a nutshot.

That's a fair point, aye.

Because he pulled out of the fight instead of taking the time to try and recover. If he ays he doesn't want to continue its a TKO, if he can't continue it goes to the cards. He loses either way tbf.

Yes. But sometimes you know immediately you can't continue, waiting 5 minutes isn't going to help if your head has fell off (daft example ofc).
Something where the ref calls a foul and the other person can't continue should never be a TKO imo. Should go to the cards.

Otherwise, If you are behind on the cards, you can win by fouling unless they take it to the cards.

Pocket change then. They'll be making a few mil each here, surely?
Brook needs the win more than Kahn does imo.

That's just wants in place, they ain't gonna DQ you for an accidental foul so you either have to show them you are unable to continue or its a TKO if you don't attempt to rest.

He'd been punched in the knackers, not twisted his leg or something plus you know he could have continued as he was walking around the ring just fine and just looking for a way out. Ref prob thought he was quitting and didn't reward him for it.

If your behind on the cards you sock someone then they take five minutes and can't continue you lose (barring dodgy officiating of course).
I hope Brook comes out to this on Saturday:

That's only true if the ref deems it as deliberate though, and if the opponent decides to stand there for 5 minutes in agony, and then gets examined by a doctor in the ring.
Such a grey area. I can see ways to cheat it.

Nah you get five minutes either way, deliberate or accidental. He then has the options to DQ the offender, go to the cards or call it a KO depending on whatbl he thinks the situation meritsm all comes downt onhow good the referee is.

Broner tried the DQ trick v Maidana and got told to take his five minutes and continue.

It's too easy to abuse if fighters can take an injury from an accidental foul, tell their corner to pull them and have it go to the cards. Docs have to make the intervention. I know what you're saying but the current rules seem fairest. Worth noting that with low blows, you do have pretty heavy duty protective gear on. Can still hurt if you catch a punch low like, nevermind off somebody elite, but the protection is generally deemed sufficient that 5 mins rest is all that is offered but docs can stop for accidental low blow.

Aye, Kell has mentioned a few clauses he can't discuss. I said yesterday I wouldn't blame him for coming in 152 and just paying the 300k :lol:

People seem convinced that Brooks level of rattle is definitely to Khan's advantage. This is career defining in Brook's mind. It's huge to him.

If Kell does exactly that and wins, there's probably a rematch in it as "it wasn't fair".

Just watched that Brook is shot and if I was his manager would have him with a psychiatrist, looks like Oliver Mcall potential. As long as Khan doesn't get hit with a hail Mary its in the bag....****queue first round knockout of Khan. Genuinely though Brook sounds punch drunk and looks close to tears at times. BTW I'm impartial to both boxers so not a Khan fan boy

I agree after the showing

Trains with Adam Booth doesn't he? Whatever people may think of him, from the outside in he looks like he takes the game seriously. He has nee need to jump in the cage/ring and fight. Respect for anyone that does it.
