Steve Bunce On Michael Gomez vs Amir Khan

[DaaMagicMan]

41 seconds.... ORGASM!! HAHA SOUNDS IT

[BoxingAnalyst08]

Oscar De la Hoya lost tasted the canvass numerous times on his way to the top and he said himself that it was a great way for him to learn fast, also you can tell that Khan doesnt wanna give the British public the satisfaction of him losing thats why he displays more guts than he probably usually would.

I tip this kid, he will hustle with the big boys....he's good enough.

[oneminutetomidknight]

My god, Steve Bunce predicted it brilliantly "not big enough to beat Khan, but will make it very very interesting for 3-4 rounds" - spot on

[Janaida]

nas was smaller than allot of the people he was fighting and he still won

height and reach is not everything but it is very important as we saw when amir got beat as that was 1 of the reasons

[bubbllyboo]

the truth is i do.. older wiser and have experience myself.. some of what your saying has points to it but you have to learn to seperate fact from oppinion and alot of what you are saying is oppinions if not plain obvious and your changing the subject every 30 seconds, im not a child so i dont want to argue with you..my intention from this is not to shame you but to pass you knowledge and it seems your turning your nose up at it.. i know wen im rong but i know wen im rite, but we can leave it..

[tidge06]

haha ive just read all that argument u nuttas.

[bubbllyboo]

iv actually got people here laughing at what you are saying lol, i have a house of fighters i got 3 bro's one who is a kung fu teacher another who is an ameteur fighter with 15 fights and then myself and your comments are jokes.. by the way just so i know i aint wasting my time how old are you??cos your acting like a spoilt kid who dont want to listen.. if it helps i also have a bsc hons degree in sports science so i know the human body just a tad lol but im sure you know more then me/us rite?

[stevieb8006]

Dont claim 2 b an authority, this is basic boxing knowledge. Im the kid yet ur the 1 bringing kung fu teachers & boxers to read my posts. Im listening 2 ur arguement mate, & its crap. Ur an amatuer saying every1 goes in2 the ring prepared? im saying thats not the case, fighters have injuries, illnesses, bad hands. I wont post again cos ive nowt 2 prove, dont have 2 list my credentials 2 try make a point. Always find when u does that it discredits the point ur making. Is ur dad bruce lee n'all?

[stevieb8006]

In hattons last fight he fought with a virus. Calzaghe/mayweather constantly fight with bad hands, every1 knows this. Naseem Hamed fought manuel medina with chest infection. Kessler was injured b4 his fight with Joe C. Larry Holmes fought with contact in for gods sake. Is james toney, a 3 weight champ always in top condition? No. Gary Lockett/Hopkins/Shannon Briggs have breathing problems. Pac has fought with foot cramp & blisters. U prob know all this tho dont u brains.

[bubbllyboo]

now your moving on to injuries and breathing from weight making??-lol your a funny guy at least stick to one subject man.. yeh and i wish my dad was bruce lee.. sorry its so hard to believe that some people have a family of fighters living in their home.. i guess cos you dnt no one else can either an they just have to be lying to look good rite?? if you live around london you can come to peacock gym and you can see for your self son.. look im not gonna show of and say i know more then you but

[bubbllyboo]

if you fear your gonna be drained you dont risk all your credentials by fighting you fool.. no one tells the boxer he has to get in the ring! he gets in there on his own accord! and dont talk to me about castillo as he is a disgrace at making weight and signing contracts he cant adhere to.. he simply goes on to the scales as a fat bastard and that has noting to do with weight draining..thats to do with hes to quick to get a pen and sign to say hel make a weight when he knows he cant! PEACE!LOL

[stevieb8006]

no ur right, no professional boxer who knows nothing else in life gets in2 the ring purely to earn money do they? Its not like many of them have familys to feed is it? If boxing was ran the nieve way u view it there wouldnt b any journeymen would there? As for Haye he said after his LAST THREE performances how he was only 70%. Peace.

[bubbllyboo]

thats rite becoz every boxer likes to admit that was him at his best rite?? journey men are different and now you are contradicting your self-a moment ago you was talking about people like castillo and corrales and now your talking about journey men lol give it up man.. i understand you want to win this argument lol but have you not thought that theres people in this world who may just have more knowledge about boxing then you.. especially when the people you are talking to actually box?? cont..

[bubbllyboo]

properly or that isnt your natural weight any more.. in any case only the boxer knows this in his heart wheter he can make it and if you cant you simply go up.. so dont talk shit to me about david haye like you know summit as david hay is a brilliant specimen and example of doing the job (making weight) perfect!! no boxer risks it all when he knows he cant win.. "i was weight drained" is usally a cop out for explaining a bad performance and if you boxed youd know that! but its quite simple (cont

[bubbllyboo]

yeh i cant be a boxer cos the guy below says im not.. you so dont know shit about weight draining lol so give up.. the rule is you dont allow yourself to put on more then 12-14lbs between fights and if you are then your either eating things you shouldnt be or your not traing hard enough to make it back down/havnt had enough time to get down etc (usually a minimum of 10 weeks) everyone struggles to make weight dick head but the only way it hinders your performance is if its not done (cont)...

[bubbllyboo]

cont.. murdered for it now days.. how times change ay lol

[bubbllyboo]

comment below was for Christonamotorcycle by the way.. a guy whos psychic lol who can tell where every one is from.. what a gay.. now i bet you are white and a bit peeved that somone like khan keeps winning ay lol? oh well accept it sunshine cos he aint goin away for a while.. ps im not raciist in any way as my fiance is white but its so funny wen i see haters like you who belong in a time long ago that cant get their racism point across anymore unless its behind a computer lol cos they get

[bubbllyboo]

so many khan haters..face it guys gomez got hammered, when khan went to the floor he must of taken less then a second to get back up! FACT! and gomez is a heavy hitter..25 ko's would suggest that lol.. i hate it when people who dont know shit about boxing try and talk as if they know what they are saying cos if they did they would know that manny paq has the biggest china chin in the world and is p4p best (hes been ko'd 3 times lol) and david haye has a bigger china chin and is undisputed! fools

[stevieb8006]

errr a big hitter at SUPER FEATHER. Did Barrera stop Pac? Marquez? Morales? Did they even have him down? He hasnt been KO'd 3 times at all and those losses were at fly/bantam weight when he was drained.

[bubbllyboo]

drained!- are you nuts?? he was already a world champ at that point so what world champ is drained lol??? who goes in to a world title fight drained lol?? he simply got knocked out! the same nearly happened when he was fighting marquez! he was rattled a good few times!! your blind if you didnt see that. no fighter defends his world title "drained" as you put it.. you simply move up a division an automatically proceed in to that bodys world rankings.. you only fight if you think you could win!

[IrelandRaven]

they dont get hit by shit fighters as often as khan does. sure he got up in a second, but his legs took about 2 minuits to stop shaking.

[Howitzer909]

No they didn't. He shook it off and was back on the attack within a minute. Aside from that 2nd round KD, Khan dominated Gomez.

[Christonamotorcycle]

What about the body shot? Was Khan dominating then. What a stupid remark.

He shouldn't have leapt back up like that. He looked very unsteady and was lucky to get away with it. You need to bear in mind that Gomez was ranked #138 in the world at super featherweight. How ever you want to dress it up, it wasn't an impressive performance.

[bubbllyboo]

you are such a cock.. actually sunshine i am an ameteur boxer so i know boxing quite well.. and yes khan battered the crap out of him even after the body shot you little prick and if you cant see that then you saw the rong fight lol.. the only round gomez won was the second round so what does that tell you about the body shot numb nuts??

[stevieb8006]

your no amatuer boxer mate. im sorry ur not. u honestly posted me saying "how can a world champ be weight drained" like im the fool. any fighter in the world will tell u struggles of making weight. U may follow the sport but if u really believe that u never been near a gym. David haye is always drained, Roy Jones when he came down from heavy after the ruiz fite, Corrales in the mayweather fight, what bout when castillo couldnt do the weight on the scales. Can go on all day with examples. Peace.

[IrelandRaven]

shook it off? he was hurt bad.

[Christonamotorcycle]

Admit it, bubbllybo, it is YOU who doesn't know shit about boxing. You wouldn't be saying what you've just said if you weren't Pakistani.

[Howitzer909]

Christonamotorcycle, you clearly are a moron. Why is the race card so important to you? Why even make it an issue? Are you really that insecure that your fragile little ego cannot cope without resorting to racial baiting? Grow up you imbecile.

[Christonamotorcycle]

Howitzer, come down off your high horse. I haven't said anything racist. The reason bubbllyboo's remarks fly in the face of common sense is because he is biased. Grow up.

[Howitzer909]

And you aren't biased or racist? A quick glance at your profile CLEARLY reveals you have a racist slant towards things. A BNP supporter? Instant credibility mate(!)

[Christonamotorcycle]

No, and do you have any proof otherwise or are you just playing the race card? A quick glance at your page will reveal that you are a Muslim. That's a surprise(!)

[IrelandRaven]

lol khan had not fully recovered. You could tell. Limond had his legs sprawling all over the shop for about 2 minuits after his knockdown, and Gomez hits a LOT harder than Limond.

[e4fella]

Steve Bunce is the best pundit out there by far....

[paulas1976]

warren should just let amir fight for a world title if hes not ready now he never will be his hand speed will trouble any fighter but does he have the power and the chin to be in with the best . only 1 way to find out !

[pathanxxx]

Steve Bunce was spot on with his analysis amonth ago .. he is a top pundit...

[paulas1976]

tyson was 20 when he beat trevor berbick to become the world champion berbick was a big guy ang caught tyson with some heavy shots but tyson shrugged them off and battered the poor guy khan isnt really making mistakes this is boxing you are going to get hit its just how you deal with it khan cant every time he gets hit clean he drops like a bag of shite , and hes not even been in with a world class fighter or heavy puncher yet

[paulas1976]

6 or 7 more bum fights isnt going to make him take a shot any better than he is now if he didnt learn his lesson after feather fisted limmond nearly sparked him he never will

[stevieb8006]

Barrera is negotiating to fight alex arthur. Sounds right knowing frank warren, get him now hes finished. As for Mike, what a heart. Great fight. Stoppage a little too early, especially with the ref giving Khan ages when he was put over. Twice hes been put over by a super feather, imagine what pac would do to him?Mike was so brave and hurt amir to the body, considering hes WELL past his prime he should be proud.

[paul130978]

Im a Khan fan. But i really worry for the lad. He goes down easy. I think he needs at least 6 or 7 more bum fights b4 he can think he stepping up any higher.

Gomez had some heart the lad. I dont think it should of been stopped, 2 secs b4 he stopped Gomex was throwing punches. Only stop a fight when someone isnt protecting themselfs, or fighting back.

[imperialpod]

I agree, it could have lasted longer but, he was just too small.

Every Khan opponent has been a blown up feather weight and it really has to stop.

When Amir steps in with a genuine world class lightwieght,he could come unstuck as the natural size and power will be too much for him.

Good fight Saturday though, hats of to Gomez, he had the right tactics but just not enough size!

[IrelandRaven]

no, you can stop a fight when a guy is taking a beating over and over again even if hes still fighting back. if hes getting hit a lot = not defending himself properly which means he could get seriously hurt.

[Hattonsucksdick]

Khan has a chin made in China. As soon as he meets someone world class he will get sparked!

[dixiedeanlivesalways]

micheal was never gonna get kod am doesnt have the fire power, ref was probably right to stop it cause am was unloading ,still dont think am is ready for manny yet manny would smash amir hes not ready just yet i think casamayor is more realistic

[blondes89]

gomez was fuckin great! massive cocaine habit,alcoholic and still put up a great fight. hes a hero and we love you gomez!!!

[SlicKnife]

This was a great fight...

Is Khan ready for a world title? Attacking wise he is there, defence wise he is not.

He needs at LEAST a couple of fights before anything major, but I have no doubt he will be a world champion within the next 12 months...

[sitiyzaltv]

Steve Dunce.

[frameygeek]

Khan's a decent fight but he lacks humility. No matter how good you are you should always have respect for yourself, your opponent and the people who pay to watch the fight. His badmouthing is like listening to some pathetic "gangsta" rapper. Amir, you'll never be a hero to the man in the street if you're going to talk with such arrogance all the time. Even if you are world champ in 10 years time, remember to be professional and keep a sense of humour and respect for others.

[tamourmehmood1]

he look depressed i think hes really thinking bout hocking up with golden boy pomotions and rodger mayweather

[Christonamotorcycle]

How popular do you think a Pakistani Muslim would be in America?

Don't you lot hate America anyway? Why would you want Amir to dance to their tune?

[Howitzer909]

Who is 'you lot'? You mean Muslims? How well informed are you? There is more bigotry in America towards the Muslims than the other way around. It's tragic that people from a devloped world with access to all the information in the world, free press, and the world at their feet can still be so dumb.

[tamourmehmood1]

if he went there now and slip under their radar and started making a name for himself they would promot him but its a case of use and abuse go where you find a better staderd of life i cant give a shite bout the uk im just using it

[incredible2k4ever]

gomez used to be a drug addict! lol! all the fights are set up for khan to win!! fight sum one who will be a challenge!!

[elrik9000]

agreed! he has never fought an real talent or prospect.

[Howitzer909]

This fight is a walkover for Amir. However, the reason they made this fight is not because of the predictable outcome but because it will be an exciting fight. Gomez comes foward, likes a brawl and is dirty with headbutts, elbows and is an exciting fighter. That's the reason; to give the fans a break from the boring usual journeymen Khan has been fed and give him a game, dirty, mouthy, aggressive and brave fighter (who is on the decline big time). Exciting fight.

[enorjusten]

steve bunce knows his shit lmao

[paul130978]

With Khan being muslim, an liked by millions does it make you feel like a little white boy?

Makes me laugh how people are saying Khan is shit, an being racist.

Khan is a young kid, let him keep winning fights. Then when he's ready put him in with a world class fighter.

Haters keep on hating. Please stop being jealous.

[rvh3]

f off skinny jodaki harry munt. Your all f*cking toothpicks

[BoxingAnalyst08]

Khan would smash you to pieces in front of your girlfriend...should you have one!

I doubt it.

[zatoichiche]

hope Gomez sparks him, can't see it though

[OrthodoxSteel]

I don't understand how Steve Dunce and Amir Khan'T could be so proud of fighting a guy who is past is best and is coming off a KO and is coming up from a lower weight division. I don't like "quality gob"......I like quality fights.

Ironically, Gomez could do him. He probably won't. But he could.

[BoxingAnalyst08]

Go on Gomez....put this FUCKING SIKH BACK IN HIS PLACE!!!!

I dont want my road smelling like Chicken fucking Dhansak!

[Janaida]

i guess you expect people to say hes not sikh but that would just be to obvious .

so how about this ............. !

yea i thought SO

[TALIBANBOYOreturns]

Bunce - biggest prick in boxing.

[NoAddedAnything]

Khan will beat Gomez, might go a few rounds.

[blackwallChampion]

Personaly i would like to see khan fight someone who has a chance to beat him, rather than someone that does not stand a chance, it makes the fight more exciting. But knowing frank warren that wont happpen soon

[stinkydiz]

khan is saying now he wants to fight pacquiao or diaz and i think it is time to give him a good fight. he's done all the domestic stuff and it's time to put him up against someone like you said who could beat him and see what he's really made of....c'mon frank warren stop holding him back

[OrthodoxSteel]

Steve Dunce would put a positive spin on a dead penny.

[donshak22]

"dave23486" khans a lightweight who will eventually evolve into a light-welterweight, how in the fuk iz he gona fight guys like marquez and barrera who are superfeatherweights? u twat learn ur boxing b4 u talk shit about a future world champion

[1010100906]

what's the bloke presenter off?

[Hitman1967]

listen to all you experts. Khan is still a learner in Boxing terms but definitely has all the attributes and skill to be top dog so why rush him. Pesonally I would like him to fight for european honours and then a couple of top 10 fighters or on the fringe of the top 10 and prefrably at least one of those fights to go the distance where he has to work over the 12 rounds.

[EricTyce]

gomez is a good fighter??

so how can amir khan be 1/20 favorite!!

f*ck you frank warren

[kareemabdullah]

gomez was stopped in his last fight and seems to be finished

[BuryLadBen5]

C'mon Gomez!

[bombshelly02]

y isnt he fighting juan diaz, nate campbell, katsidis, casmayor,Isaac Hlatswayo, Almazbek Raiymkulov,matt zegan, yuri romanov khans a boxer tht shud be in the ring with these people

[Howitzer909]

Early days yet. Within the next 12-18 months, he will be on the world stage. He'll get Gavin Reese's WBO title, defend it against Europeans and then be fighting in Vegas from then onwards.

[IrelandRaven]

lol youve got it all worked out. i say he gets K.Oed before his 25th fight

[bubbllyboo]

he mite bloody well do but there is as much chance of him knocking out the other guy before he gets hurt and i think its more likely khan will whack the other guy first as he hits hard as is a real big lightweight and his speed other boxers cant get any where near..

[dave23486]

why do they always put him up against nobodys..he always sez il win and go on to better things..but he goes on to more washed up boxers..put khan up against a good mexican..he wont stand a chance..im talking juan marquez..barrera who finished naseem..

[Howitzer909]

Barrera is done. Stick a fork in him. Same with Morales.

[dave23486]

barrera is talking of a come back..morales is done for certain though..

[wwekopper]

Khan will win Michael gomez's best days are behing him but it will be a good fight I predict khan will knock him out within the first five rounds

[harrysan1983]

Well done Bunce, Birmingham is a quality city and venue

[paddyrotti]

he's not ready for a world title fight not this year anyway no matter who he fights. i think this is a good choice for him and a few more fights before he takes the step up in fighters, before he leaves to fight in america where he will get big names. i thing he's a mandatory challenger for campbell if that came anytime soon it would be a lose on his record but i do believe he has wat it take to go all the way

[ah8425]

True

[cuntyballs07]

Gomez was born in Longford ,not Dublin

[stinkydiz]

i don't think this is a great choice, if he wants to be world champion before the year is out, they goin to have to get him a better fight than this for the next one before the title fight. thats if frank warren isnt going to prevent him from achieving his goal

[brakie1978]

I dont see wot the big hurry is for Khan to get his World Title shot. Nothing wrong with British then European titles before going for the world title.

Gives him more experience before "stepping up" to more competetive opposition.

Lets be honest aslong as he's with Frank Warren then he will probably keep winning with a WBU World Title.

But im looking forward to the Gomez fight would be good to see Khan under pressure for afew rounds.

[stinkydiz]

the thing is amir khan set himself a goal of becoming britains youngest ever world champion, is that forgotten about now, am i right or wrong in thinking that to break the record he must have a world title fight and win it by the start of july this year? the thing is i'm not in a rush to see him fight for this title but it's what he wants and i think that's important

[brakie1978]

Hes a young fighter who has dreams , doesnt make it wots best for him. He's a great fighter but still has lots to learn.

I think wots important is that his people sit him down and ask him if he wants a quick fix to a world title or if he wants longevity.

He seems to hav a gd head on his shoulders , so behind the boxing confidence i would like to think he would make the right choice.

[paddyrotti]

gomez can always be a great 1 2 watch his fights were great at his level

[bandamardu]

nah man be honest he is on his way out you know that

[naz102]

Its not about going up a class or going down a class. Khan is still devloping he needs to experience as many different oppositions as he can before chucking him in the deep end. He has only had 17 fights have a bit of patience. All the big fights will happen but in due course. As for Romanov?Khan can beat him but he might as well fight him when the fight is worth more as Romanov is going for a world title soon. It just seems like the british wanna see their own boxer go down,its just typical!!

[ngh1]

I think Khan has had plenty experience now. Mitchell has had 20 odd fights and has fought for a British title so why can't Khan? I like him and want to see him go up not down, he is capable of beating better opponents. Gomez is a Super Featherweight, way past it and Khan is a big lightweight nearing his prime. If it was 2003 or earlier I wouldn't complain.

[theGting]

dont forget that gomez is a super featherweight and khan is a lightweight.

[mancunian1234]

Look to see Gomez get anilated on June 21st.

[Janaida]

this fight is designed to test Khans Defence aka a learning fight before he steps up again

[barkingbasher]

Gomez is as worn out as a fifteen year old shoe sole and he was never world class to begin with.

Brave match making Frank.

If Khan's so great put him in with Romanov before you talk World title.

[ngh1]

I used to be a massive Gomez fan and I can't stand the thought of seeing him taking a stoppage loss from somebody too big and in their prime in front of fans who don't know who he is. What a cynical move by Khan's camp, horrible match making. On the bright side as Bunce says, at least Gomez will get a big payday, in his heyday at Super Feather he would have stopped Khan.

[stevieb8006]

I agree with absolutely everything u say. Nice to get a sensible post on youtube. how great would it be to see mike roll back the years and do an "alex arthur" on him? More chance of me doing that tho im afraid, hes more shot than murphy b4 they made him robocop!

[ngh1]

Nice one Stevie, it's not really fair is it? What winds me up is the stick Gomez will get from loads people who are not really fight fans but are there because Khan is so popular. I have been asked to go to this one but am still thinking about it because I will get mad if Gomez gets abuse from people around me who know nothing about boxing. I like Khan but am getting a bit tired of these matches now, as you say it would be awesome to see Gomez do an Arthur on him but he's far too slow now.

[stevieb8006]

i think if mike had stayed out the pub he could have done everything ricky has. They matched him too hard too early.Cant wit for his film to come out.

[ngh1]

Yeah true, I'm not sure about the matching though, I thought it was just his personal problems which did the damage. The loss to Kevin Lear I think was the one which hurt him most.I have seen a trailer for his film on the net, have you seen it? It has an old Emmerdale actor in it I think. I remember the days when they were saying he had more potential then Ricky and that fight with Acelinio Freitas was so close to being made, I don't know what happened there.

[stevieb8006]

it stars the kid that plays lip gallagher in shameless as mike and kelvin fletcher (ie andy sugden) as michael jennings

[lee69tatterton]

roger mayweather might train khan

[p4pWar]

gomez is dirty but he wont have a chance to get away with it

[HouseOldSkoolRaver]

David Haye is thinking about doing mma/ufc

[MattayReturns]

As if he is

[juankinggg]

what? to get paid 100k a year instead of 2 million a fight? lmao

[ibar78]

Is Michael Gomez still boxing? I thought he retired ages ago.

[panantukan12]

exactly, Gomez is yet another feather/super feather going up to lightweight for another easy win for Khan. Warren said he wouldn't let fight Khan fight Yuri Romanov because it'd be a drop in class, when he could go for the WBO belt, AND THEN HE GIVES HIM GOMEZ!!!!!! Anyone who saw Romanov fight Thaxton knows the reason Khan wont let him fight him is because he'd tear Khan's head off. All of Khan's opponents have been limited risk fighters.

[ibar78]

Totally agree. Willie Limond was able to floor Khan so Warren has to milk his cash cow before the inevitable happens when Khan is knocked out cold!

[ngh1]

I agree, it was wrong to duck Romanov.

[ngh1]

Gomez has a few low key fights against some old Khan opposition - one of them was the Sheffield guy, can't remember his name but he was a big loser. He had a title shot against Johanneson ans was good for four rounds but was stopped somehwre in the sixth I think, he was taking too many ounches. He since fought Baz Carey, Khans second or third opponent and won and now amazingly he has a shot at Khan, I hope he doesn't get hurt.

[karlos81]

Amir fighting another Featherweight!

If Amir doesnt fight even a mediocre 135lb fighter before he steps up he will get beat its that simple.

[boxer14huseyin]

great video

[HouseOldSkoolRaver]

Lively! too right.

[wasimkhan321]

great video
