Anyone see this fight (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/boxing/6899689.stm) the other night?

A couple of knock downs, broken jaw...ouch. I'd agree with Warren though, I don't think Khan's there yet although he came back well.  happy088

Me too. So, we have a couple of avuncular pugilists in the pub  ;)

I haven't seen Khan getting smacked about like that before; the Scots lad gave him quite a run for his money ;D

Well, it was certainly a night for the Welsh;  3 out of 3.

The conditioning Braithewaite showed was phenomenal, managing to go the full 12 rounds surrender:
