Amir Khan, Gone!

Amir Khan, the celebrated and much- hyped boxer coming out of England in recent years was knocked out by the unheralded Breidis Prescott of Colombia in just 54 seconds of the first round.

The 21- year old British darling was exposed by the heavy- hitting Prescott as nothing but a mere pretender and a clown in the mold of his predecessor and another British media darling Prince Naseem Hamed who were given a succession of patsies just to pad their records. Thus, their bloated exploits in the square ring were
washed away on the quayside when faced with quality oppositions.

Thus, Khan’s dream and that of British boxing of lording it over the boxing world turned into a nightmare just like what happened to Hamed when Marco Antonio Barrera pummeled him to submission years ago.





Here's the original clown in his fight against Barrera--

WBC Super Featherweight Championships

Juan Manuel Marquez outworked and outboxed Marco Antonio Barrera in twelve busy and exciting rounds albeit without controversy to dethrone the Baby- Faced Assassin and won the World Boxing Council Super Featherweight Championships at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino last March 17, 2007 and earned him a possible megabuck fight and rematch with his old nemesis, Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao.

If only Bob Arum's Top Rank and Oscar De la Hoya's Golden Boy Production would set their squabbles away and provide us the fight that boxing afficionados have been clamoring for years now.
