Amir Khan Is A Gigantic Pussy

I’m sure Large will have a full breakdown of this tomorrow but I think I’m the only one awake so here is an Eric Hubbs boxing blog because I can’t sleep.

So tonight Amir Khan and Terence Crawford faced off in the boxing ring at MSG. The fight was big enough that it got my attention, so I turned it on because I can’t sleep. I don’t follow boxing too closely but I know Khan is a known for having a glass chin, along with some of the fastest hands in the sport. Crawford is just a boxing machine and doesn’t lose. He was a -1000 favorite entering tonight for a reason. In the first round, Crawford immediately knocked down Khan. For the most part Crawford dominated the fight but Khan was starting to chip away in the 5th round. I thought we might be in for a fight until in the 6th round Khan got hit low and cowardly stopped it, giving Crawford the TKO. Now listen, I’m no boxing expert, but I do have a pair of functioning eyes. Khan did not get punched in the balls here. He gets hit in the inner thigh/quad. Crawford said this in his post-fight interview.

Here’s what happened: Khan and his corner saw that he was losing the fight and was bound to get knocked out sooner rather than later. Khan was about to be exhausted and knew he didn’t have a shot to beat Crawford the rest of the way. His $5 million was already in the bank so he got out before it got ugly.

Now it’s tough to call a professional boxer a pussy or a coward because they’re among the most dangerous/deadly people in the world and I’m a 150 pound blogger, but Amir Khan is a pussy. Buddy you talked all promo about how you were going to prove you’re the real deal and will show your toughness to beat a monster like Crawford. And then you just quit in the 6th round? Dude that’s Charmin toilet paper soft shit. You got punched in the thigh and acted like your balls fell off. People paid good money to come see you fight and you give them that? That’s fucked. You are allowed five minutes to gather yourself after a low blow. Khan took maybe 50 seconds before saying no mas. I’ll see guys getting actually kicked in the balls in UFC all the time and they step right back in there to go to war. Normally I’d say snake it until you make it, but this ain’t it chief.

Terence Crawford certainly has my attention though. That man is SCARY. Now I assume in the boxing community he’s one of the more known boxers out there and this is like me saying “hey this Steph Curry guy can really shoot” but as a casual fan, I want to see him fight moving forward. Errol Spence is the name they kept saying after the fight and that it’s just up to his promoter to get it cookin. Let’s set that shit up, but more importantly fuck Amir Khan.
