Khan and his trainer wisely took it, can't blame them.

He was getting outclassed and it was only going to get worse.

Time for him to retire.


No heart or chin. Time to retire. He's been a huge disappointment.

On what grounds would this result be overturned?

@ Power and Glory

Khan has heart, he has always fought the best - the nutter went up to fight Canelo ffs.

Before tonight he has always gone out on his shield, but he didn't want to go through it and I can't blame him.

Disappointing but it is what it is.

He needs to retire though.

Looks like the glass chin he is supposed to have is a myth. It's the glass balls he has to strengthen.

Crawford is a joke. American boxing system is laughable

Crawford beat the shit out of Khan and made him quit for the first time in his career. Some joke.

Also, Khan's once famed hand speed is gone.

He's a shot fighter.

Miss the low blow? Crawford had to resort to that to beat khan. Khan hasn't quit against better fighters than Crawford. Why would he quit against him?

Crawford reputation will be known for this

Heart failure on this occasion. It's time for him to retire. He was chasing for a big money fight for a while hence the Canelo fight. After this fight, only way he'll sell major tickets if he goes for a British fighter. The American Dream is over.

A foul finished the fight so should have been a no-contest. Plus Khan wasn't given the 5 minutes and he can easily argue it was an intentional low blow, not an "accidental" one.

The referee ruled it was intentional so there is no possibility of a no contest.

Khan refused to take the full 5 minutes.

He wanted out. Simple.

Khan is probably one of the stupidest people in the sports industry

Fair play for giving everyone a go though despite having pretty much 0% chance of winning

He could've had up to 5 minutes of time to recover but he asked his trainer to end the fight because he was already getting smashed.


Pretty much this:

Takes longer than 5 mins to recover from a low blow. If he continued he'd have done so in pain and left himself open to being knocked the f**k out.

Done the right thing and is criticised lol

But low blow Crawford as he is now known is let off

Dude.

He had a cup on, those things are solid like shin guards, you'd feel it but its not like getting hit unguarded.

Khan knew he was sliding out of that fight, he looked beaten before the low blow, he knew he had 6 rounds left of survival mode and didn't fancy it imo.

Khan's career has been binned over a year ago, he's just fighting to make bank now.

He already semi-retired then made a come back, the guys wealthy, desires half arsed and he was in there with one of the two best Welterweights in the world.

There was a window to jump out of and he took it........... he didn't even take the full 5mins before ejecting his parachute.
