Boxing World Reacts To Khan 1st Round KO Win After 2 Year Hiatus

The boxing world reacts to Khan closing the show inside 39 seconds tonight against over matched Canadian Phil Lo Greco who took the fight on relatively short notice.

Lo Greco was never going to be a world beater in terms of credible opposition for Khan but that said, after two years out of the ring, he was never going to be thrown in at the deep end either.

31-year-old Khan did what he had to do, which cannot be taken away from him.

Nor the blistering, exciting hand speed he put on full display in Liverpool tonight.

Here is some of the reaction and response so far from the boxing community to the fight:
