Amir Khan was knocked out inside the first minute of his WBO intercontinental lightweight title defence by Colombia's Breidis Prescott.
The Bolton boxer was put down for the first time after just 30 seconds when hit by two lefts in quick succession.
Khan, 21, managed to regain his feet but was clearly struggling.
He resumed after an eight count but Prescott unleashed another flurry and Khan hit the deck once more before being counted out after 54 seconds.
It was a first defeat for Khan, who won an Olympic silver medal at the 2004 Olympics, in the 19th fight of his professional career
And it won't be the last, another over rated boxer just Like Alex Arthur.
Khan's comments after the fight;
I made a little mistake in there and couldn't get it back again. It was a stupid mistake," said Khan.
"That's boxing. One punch can change the fight. I'm fine but I need to go back to the drawing board and put it right.
"I'm a world beater and I'm going to come back stronger. I'm really sorry to my fans."
I read in the papers this week that the experts were saying Colombia's Breidis Prescott was a very good fighter and khan better be in tip top condition, because this guy could ruin everything Amir Khan had done so far
Amir Khan First Sky Box Office fight because most of his fights have been on council telly
But you can view it on youtube free;

I wouldn't put Khan in the same category as Arthur.
Arthur is a good boxer and faced decent opposition. His defeats have come down to having the wrong attitude.
Khan should be put in with Audley Harrison where their career's have been drawn out for them to make money. They have faced nobodies and each time they've came up against somebody with ability, they've been shown up for what they are.

Can't disagree with your reply rainman, Khan's career have been drawn out for him to make money as for Audley Harrison career I still laugh when people were saying he was the next big thing. His career was over very quickly now he on telly doing voice over’s or selling insurance.
If Boxers have true ability they will make millions, but we keep seeing fighters such as Khan coming up against nobodies who couldn’t fight sleep, and when they do come up against decent opponents like Breidis Prescott they toil.Last edited by hibiedude; 07-09-2008 at 06:41 AM.

Amir Khan was 14-1 to win any Olympic medal at the 2004 Olympics
Frank Bruno was 25-1 to hold any of the 3 heavy weight titles
The guys in the know including Colin Hart from the sun have been sying all week that Breidis Prescott was not there just to make Amir Khan look good.

Now that Khan has been found out and will descend into C List obscurity, perhaps he can make an appearance at your bean fest and perhaps pour the beans in?
