The match has already been decided and all I can say is, Khan has no match for Crawford even without the low blow. We can see the delifference in their stance and Crawford is just flicking his jabs and his footwork is incredible. The question is, are we going to see a Crawford/Pacquiao showdown?

I don't think that Crawford/Pacquiao fight is looming. Pacquiao is already on Al Haymon's stable, so it's either Pacquiao/Thurman or Pacquaio/against the rest of Al's PBC 147 lbs fighter.

As expected, Khan was all talk and he just quit. Crawford is slowly pickup him up and Khan has no answer he try toe to toe but Crawford is too inteligent. His trainer stops the fight because he knows that Amir is no match. Or maybe they could get a technical draw or something, but Crawford is also ahead on the judges scorecard and it's already the sixth round so really no escape from Khan losing this fight.

It was a low blow but Khan is a choke artist & he really should hang up his gloves now. I’m tired of his crap to be honest. Time for him to call it a day now I think.

And here are the results:

Crawford vs Khan- Crawford TKO in 6th
Stevenson vs. Diaz - Stevenson UD (100-90, 99-91, 98-92)
Lopez vs. Tatli - fifth-round TKO
Verdejo vs.  Vasquez - UD (97-93, 97-93, 98-92)

Uneventful fight. Khan chooses a way out after that incidental low blow. Too much for Khan having the balls to fight the best, Lol. He literally quit and doesn't want to continue and it's just a matter of time before he will be KO.

No one mention about Khan's glass balls lmao.
I'm slightly disappointed with this fight (except for the first round). The building was good, but the match was not satisfying. By the way, congratulation bettors!

Amir Khan is a great fighter, but I think he is no longer in his prime

I agree on the same thing, he once became my idol in the boxing industry but his fame vanish all of a sudden. Crawford is very deadly, there's no doubt about it — his perfect record and 74% KO percenatage explaines all. Let's see if Khan could handle this.

On the other hand, we can't still underestimate Khan because he is a great boxer as well. He is fast and agile (but Terrence got the same skills as well) so I think it will be an intense match. My vote? I'm still not sure. I'll give 60% for Crawford and 40% for Khan Grin.

I'll give this match to crawford. He's a knock out puncher, I mean we're not underestimating Khan here, but we all do have a pick. Khan being not on his prime isnt my primary issue, its just that crawford is a more dangerous fighter, just like what his records is telling us. 74% KO percentage isnt a joke.

Terrence Crawford vs Amir Khan on April 20
Venue: Madison Square Garden (MSG)
Oh boy! I didn't see this coming, better to mark my calendar now to watch this interesting fight.

Crawford is the world's best fighter,it looks like this fight isn't exciting I think it will be won by Crawford.Other wish if Khan will win the fight but it a difficult so my observation of this battle is between 75% for crawford and 25% for khan,Khan can't stand the crawford gaze.
I ask my friend to have a friendly bet and I'm betting Crawford will beat Khan, but nobody wants to take the challenge and instead challenge me to a bet on what round Crawford will knock out Khan, honestly, it's hard to predict the round because Khan runs too much, if he will stand toe to toe from the first round then I'll bet Crawford will knock him out in round two.

I don't know if you can call Khan a runner though, we usually runs when he is hit and have the tendency to go down because of his china chin.

Yes, I think he will go toe to toe in the early round because that is the only chance he can knock out Crawford because once the round progresses, Amir will have a hard time because we all know that he will get hit sooner or later.

Here is the undercard:

  • Shakur Stevenson vs. Christopher Diaz, 10 rounds, featherweights
  • Teofimo Lopez vs. Edis Tatli, 10 rounds, lightweights
  • Felix Verdejo vs. Bryan Vasquez, 10 rounds, lightweights
  • Carlos Adames vs. Frank Galarza, 10 rounds, junior middleweights

There is a lot of hype around Teofimo Lopez. He's been bad mouthing Loma lately, so I'm sure a impressive win might set up a clash with Loma.

I do hope that Lopez will win. But I don't think that he can touch Loma or even have a fight with them. He really needs to prove himself first before getting big money fights.

Stevenson has some controversy as well, as there was a recent video who surfaces about a street brawl in which the professional boxer is involved.

Haven't heard about the video, but then again this is another young boxer at 21, I'm sure he will be mentally affected by the case, so let's see how he can overcome it and be able to win his fight.

I wanted to se if Verdejo is back, there's a lot of hype around this kid, unfortunately after a motor accident in 2016 and defeat to Lopez 2018 the hype has died down. But let's see if he can go back and be the old "El Diamante".

I would agree that there's alot of hype around this kid when he enters the boxing world. He once lost to Lomachenko in Olympics and settle for the bronze and after that he was touted to be the next Felix Trinidad however that first defeat of him really derail all plans on him. So yes, this could be interesting to watch as well.

Khan loves to challenge big name in the boxing, IIRC he once challenge Pacman also.
This guy is not the greatest in boxing, but the has the heart and therefore he has a chance to beat Crawford.

I was browsing the betting odds currently in my sportsbook and crawford is a heavy favorite in this fight, trying to take Khan here with 8.60 odds, 1.06 is not worth the risk, this time I'm with the underdog.
Yes, we love underdog and even if others have written-off Khan, he has a good chance specially in early rounds. Tiger Woods pulls a somewhat last week, so it's really possible for someone to elevate their game and win matches specially in boxing.
They are both professionals and they both have a game plan, if Khan's game plan will work, it will reward the backer.
As a gambler, maybe I'd agree that the odds is really attractive but as a fan I believe Crawford is capable of beating Khan and will knock him out.

That's the biggest challenge for Khan and we should not undervalue Khan because he practice a lot for this fight.
Though we already know who has the advantage to win, we will just see who will execute their plan well tomorrow. It will be a big day for Crawford but Khan will not let this fight taken by Crawford easily. This is going to be a good match.

If Crawford wins impressively, then Crawford vs Spence could happen. But it's going to be difficult to negotiate as both have different managers who hate's each other, Crawford - Bob Arum while Spence is under Al Haymon. It's gonna be like Pacquiao and Mayweather again, it took years before they can finally agreed to fight.
We won't know. Khan was there and kept being a fight that is unpredictable. Khan is like Pacquaio who is very humble and unpredictable. Khan is a really likable guy when he's not talking about brook or Mayweather and I like it so much. This would be Bud Crawford's biggest test to date. Win or lose, Amir will always be a champion for taking some of the biggest risks in the sport of boxing unlike majority of the fighters now in days. I disagree Khan has no Chin. Any boxer that gets hit flush on the chin will go down. Khans problem is he gets hit on the chin too much.

He has been known to have a weak chin as compare to other boxers around. There are a lot of boxers who have been hit flush but never goes down easily, on the contrary they are called granite chin. And even if boxers have been hit straight flush, some of them can easily recover, but not Amir. So there is no question that Khan has a glass jaw, we have seen it broken multiple times already.
Thats the baddest weakness a boxer must have,because chin is the easiest part of boxer to target and landed by punch so if he don’t manage to strengthen that part then for sure he’ll be knockout earlier the game

This thread now become a discussion about Amir's chin Cheesy
"China chin" or "glass jaw" is only a phrase to describe boxers who cannot get hit too much. It is in their genetics. That is why African and Mexican fighter dominates the sport.
Yeah right, it's getting more into Khan disadvantage, most of the replies are placing their sides for Crawford due to this possible weakness of Khan, seeing his highlights before still gives him some chances, we can't conclude as there's always surprises when the bell start to ring, it's good to see fair and square fight with KO ending.

Definitely, Khan has a chance to win here no doubt. But his questionable chin is what makes the betting public go against him here. And the fact that Crawford is the best fighter right now, it's hard to put a bet in Khan unless you are really a big fan of his.

Lol, not hard to not discuss Amir's chin though, because that's what his known to.  Grin. But if you could imagine if he has a good jaw + his talent (hand speed and power), I think he could be a great champion.

Khan would be a elite boxer if not for the weakness he has. During his prime his hands are very fast, comparable to Manny Pacquaio. He also is a great body puncher, however, we can't really deny that having a weak chin could spell doom on a boxer. Antonio Margarito, who has a granite chin was able to stay afloat in the 147 - 160 lbs division and face lots of champion and won some because his chin held against those strong punchers and some of them gets tired, and Margarito was able to take that advantage and win.

If Khan has a granite chin? He could be in the top 3 in the discussions as best boxer in 147 during his prime.
