Wheelchair Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Amir Khan admits Floyd Mayweather was lucky not to be disqualified in his fight against Victor Ortiz. American Mayweather knocked out his 24-year-old opponent in the fourth round to extend his unbeaten record to 42 fights on Sunday night. But the 34-year-old appeared to floor his opponent while Ortiz was apologising after delivering a headbutt earlier in the round. "They let him off because he is Floyd Mayweather," Khan told BBC Sport. "If that was anyone else you would have been disqualified but because it was Mayweather they can't disqualify him." "A couple of seconds before he [Ortiz] blatantly headbutted Mayweather," the Bolton-born fighter added. "Mayweather is a fighter off the streets and he thought 'forget this I'm going to get this kid back' and as soon as the ref wasn't looking, bang, he hit him with a left hook. "If that happened without Victor hitting him in the head I think Floyd would have got disqualified." Khan won the IBF light-welterweight crown when he defeated Zab Judah in July adding to the WBA title he has defended since 2009. After the fight Khan revealed that he wanted to fight Mayweather within 12 months. And the Bolton-born fighter has once again confirmed his intent to pursue a fight date as he gets ready to move up a weight to take on Mayweather. He added: "My next fight will be 10 December against Lamont Peterson, an American fighter, and then I'll move to 147 [lbs] after that fight. "I know I'm two or three fights away from fighting Mayweather - and that within the next nine months I will fight Floyd Mayweather." http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/boxing/15009631.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAZZ-MCFC Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 The Bolton Bell End is thicker than a whale omlette! mlol/ Fucking hell, on fire tonight! Had a good laugh at that one. Khan contradicts himself the tosser, he was saying after the fight on Primetime that Floyd was right to do what he did and it wasn't a DQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_budweiser Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Re: Khan surprised by Floyd Mayweather let-off "They let him off because he is Floyd Mayweather," Khan told BBC Sport. 13 second knock down v Willie Limond Should never of been allowed to continue after Prescott KO 1 How many of Khans fights been stopped prematurely?

McBride Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Ah bless. Keep looking around those showrooms for the taxis Amir, cos that is all you will ever be fit for after Mayweather destroys your will to fight ever again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mofo2 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Floyd acted like a shit in that fight and I think we all know it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavpowell Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Of course he acted like a shit, but so did Ortiz, and not only did Floyd not break the rules, it was fucking hilarious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brooklynbrawler Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I thought it was a cheap shot to be honest. There would have been more of an uproar if Ortiz hadn't been such a dirty bass himself, but whether Cortez waved the fight on before Floyd punched him is debateable. I haven't watched it since the night it happened, but I'm pretty sure Cortez hadn't signalled for the fight to restart so it could easily have been a DQ.

mofo2 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Of course he acted like a s***, but so did Ortiz, and not only did Floyd not break the rules, it was f***** hilarious! Ortiz attempting to head butt him was despicable, but what Floyd did was the act of an asshole, forget all the 'he broke no rules' or that Ortiz been told to 'protect himself' it was a cheapshot of the lowest order!!

gavpowell Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 No, it was cheap shot of the highest order - never fails to amuse. It's up there with the graceful sidestep that allowed Hatton to go charging into the ring post - comedy gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
