    Respect to Khan for taking this fight. I think it could really be a mismatch though with that glass jaw.

    Khan got knocked down by Julio Diaz 3 years ago too a Lightweight lol. Plus Khan will have to be heavier than usual which could impact his speed & stamina.

    Khan's finally cashing what's left of his chin in for a money fight. Meanwhile Canelo gets to fight a name while continuing to dwarf his opponents. What a s--- show. Fans of both fighters should be embarrassed.

    http://www.skysports.com/boxing/new...f-european-title-shot-and-retires-from-boxing

    Kevin Mitchell has withdrawn from his European title bout and announced he is retiring from boxing with immediate effect.

    The 31-year-old compiled a record of 39-4-KO29 and won the British and Commonwealth titles as a super-featherweight in 2008.

    Mitchell told Sky Sports News HQ: "I've had a good think about it over the last week and I'm happily retired now. I was in the gym on Friday and I wasn't myself. I wasn't enjoying my bag work or my gym work.

    Whatever I don't catch live I'll watch after. Might just side-by-side them on the big screen.

    Fightpass usually runs through the fights so hopefully a few early finishes and they don't clash

    Tbh, I'm only really interested in 2 fights on the card so boxing might win out today.

    Frampton is my man and I'm glad he won - but he could have easily lost that fight. When Quigg woke up and found his rhythm towards the end, Frampton was getting out-boxed easily.

    Quigg did a lot better drawing him into a phone booth and going for the body. Too bad he had no clue what to do about the jab for half the fight.

    Silva really showed up to box against Verdejo. Was not expecting that. Verdejo won by a wide margin on my card, but he had to put in a lot of work to do so. He really had no clue how to adjust against a defensive boxer and just kept headhunting to no avail. His cleanest punchers were to the body, yet apparently his corner never suggested he throw more of them.

    Crawford was surprised in that first round by Lundy's commitment that early in the fight, but he settled him down with the jab and found his opening. He made the adjustments that I was looking for in Verdejo. Still, he looked massive in there. Dude has a belt and 27 fights. He should move up already.
