Was very impressed with Khan last night...Never really been his biggest fan but he looked good last night.

Was a bit scrappy for the first 3 or 4 rounds and then Khan seemed to get into a rythmn and grew in confidence (probably after realising Malignaggi had no power in his shots) He was impressive though behind a quality left jab which he landed at will. Was one of those fights where no stoppage would have come too soon for me!

Disappointed for Kevin Mitchell aswell, was a pretty bad defeat that. Katsidis is a huge puncher for his size though and Mitchell just needs to put that one behind him and work on a few things cos he has a lot of qualities....

shame about murray, katsidas looked very good though, seasoned at the top level, does murray have what it takes at that level? we will see how he bounces back.. maybe a while till he gets an opportunity like that again though

khan looked good, great jab lastnight... mallignaggi not good enough though as was expected
khan calling out maidana after the fight !! would like to see that... but then again

Good performance by Khan , Nothing to flashy but dominated Malignaggi from behind a good jab.

Mitchell showed last night, just exactly why hes dodged every decent fighter around. I guess Frank Warren made him take this fight.

Neither Malignaggi nor Mitchell had the power to make their opponent wary of teeing off at will. Once Katsidis figured that out he just went after Mitchell with a vengeance and it was game over.

If you can't bang at that level then you've got to be technically slick.

Where next for Khan then? Bradley? Some talk about Diaz but what's in it for him given he's just beaten the guy who took a unanimous decision off Diaz last time out? Or is he going to have to take his mandatory defence first?

Khan will be fed bums like Paulie who couldn't punch his way through rice paper.

I wouldnt rule out a Khan v Mitchell fight which would really take the urine.

mitchell didnt dodge the prescott or katsidis fight, fair play to him for that unlike some fighters who wont dare get in with a puncher

spot on mate, agree... ill be surprised if we see him in with maidana, alexander or any puncher

talk of him fighting katsidis, kat would have to step up in weight to do that... khan is already nearly two weights above him! bit of a mismatch in size(like barrera fight) so wouldnt surprise me if khan took that option
