Yep, it says on Ricky Hatton's twitter that the fight should be starting around 1.15am

Has Audley Harrison announced his comeback yet? Been a couple of hours, so he probably thinks he can win the World Championship again now

I would be laughing for the whole 2 rounds that that fight would last. Khan doesn't beat anyone notable at either lww or ww. Even Broner would do a job on Khan.
You say that as if Broner isn't very good. Broner would dismantle Khan with the current defence levels that Khan still has.

Khan will know he cant go in against Broner.

Khan has all the heart in the world but he is constantly being found out.

I always enjoy watching Khan fights, more often than not they are very exciting but as for Khan himself not only does he have a fragile chin, his opponents all seem to his weaknesses quite quickly in a fight.

I don't think he will ever claim back a world title any more

I say it as Broner is the smaller guy coming up through the weight classes but would still beat Khan.

I'm not sure who GBP could feed Khan too to improve his record, he is surrounded by guys who beat him pretty comfortably.

Arum said he had an impossible job promoting Rigondeux, I think GBP have more of a problem with trying to convince the public that Khan is a world level fighter.

If Goldenboy could make any money cashing out on Khan then they would. The Mayweather fight which he was very close to getting at one stage has no chance of happening now, so look for them to put him in with Devon Alexander or someone in the hope that people might finally start buying into Alexander.

They should make Khan vs Ortiz, both of them are in the last chance saloon. It would be a fun fight while it lasted.

Saying on boxingscene that Khan will face the winner of Peterson/Matthyse vs Garcia/Judah!

That can't be right! It would most likely be either Garcia or Matthyse, Khan would get pummelled!

Is Garcia with Goldenboy? I can see them making that and telling him to sink or swim, I can't see him fighting Matthysse though. Lucas brings no money and Khan would get stopped, it'd be lose/lose for him.

Yes, GBP are having their own inhouse lww mini-tournament.

Murray is coming out now

Khan has the heart of a Lion and courage to burn! Unfortunately, he was born with a weak chin and there's nothing he can ever do about that, though he still has some glaring and very basic technical faults that lead to him being decked.
One more pay-day in a title fight and that should be the end for him, sadly.

If Murray wins, I hope he runs out of that ring quick. Very hostile crowd

Well this has eclipsed the atmosphere at the Alamodome last weekend.

Murray can't be expected to fight in this, I've spotted numerous health and safety breaches.

You would have to have some serious balls to fight in these conditions.

Murray for me, but this is boxing so will more than likely go the other way

Martinez wins by 3 when he won the last 2 rounds, seems pretty fair to me.

FS I've missed the Quillin fight.Garcia vs Judah up next!

Bullshit decision and well done Steve Bunce getting very angry at the HBO commentators who did not give Murray the credit he deserved

Only say bullshit as I think it was a 2nd knockdown for Murray that was not scored as one

Landed more punches, knocked the guy down twice but of course one was a "slip" and he loses by three rounds.
