| Amir Khan v Michael Gomez] Birmingham] Part 1 of 2 |
 |
Saturday, 21 June 2008
Amir Khan survived an early knockdown as he
successfully defended his Commonwealth
lightweight title against Michael Gomez in
Birmingham.
The 21-year-old was floored by a powerful
left hook from Gomez in the opening exchanges
of the second round.
But Khan, who had his opponent on the canvas
in the opening round, countered with a series
of powerful punches.
Gomez was floored once more in the fifth and
referee John Keane stopped the fight after a
big Khan right hand.
The brutal encounter was by far the toughest
of Khan's 18-fight professional career.
The Bolton-born fighter had begun in
confident style, breaking Gomez's guard with
a flurry of combinations, culminating in a
huge right hand to send his opponent to the
canvas.
But Gomez - celebrating his 31st birthday -
refused to surrender and began the second
round began in complete contrast to the
first.
He sent Khan tumbling with a blistering left
hook which stunned Khan - and the packed
crowd - at the National Indoor Arena.
But Khan immediately counter-attacked and cut
the former British super-featherweight
champion above the left eye.
The ferocity continued in the third round and
the fourth saw Gomez plant a vicious left
hook to the body, which hurt Khan badly.
Sensing his vulnerability, Gomez targeted
Khan's midriff for special attention, but
Khan once again used his speed to hit back
with yet another series of bruising
combinations.
But despite the assault, Manchester fighter
Gomez was still sitting in his corner at the
end of round four.
However, a left to the body in the fifth saw
Gomez drop to the floor for the second time
before a succession of left and right hands
saw referee Keane intervene, much to Gomez's
dismay.

| Michael Jordan 1991 Finals: Gm 4 Vs. LA Lakers, 28pts. |
 |
MJ entered this game with a severely bruised
toe which he suffered at the end of Game 3 on
a miraculous clutch shot over Vlade Divac.
Limited in overall mobility, one would have
thought MJ would take more jumpers or resort
to taking 10+ three pointers like most
perimeters today. But of course not. MJ
picked his spots and opponents and attacked
the rim as usual with gorgeous, spectacular
moves to the hole for maximum efficiciency
and psychological damage to the other team.
Shooting 11-20 and dishing 13 assists, it was
a supreme performance on the greatest stage.
In addition, he and Scottie switched on Magic
throughout the game. With an intense LA
crowd, MJ was in steely control with crisp
passes to teammates, calm aggressiveness and
confident poise. And as Marv caps it
perfectly at the end, it's a good thing LA
didn't see a healthy MJ that night.

succession except Game 2 which was uploaded
last year. You can find it here

For the record, MJ would end the series with
some preposterous numbers: 31.2ppg, 6.6 rebs,
11.4 assists, 2.8 steals, 1.4 blocks, 56.64%
FG, 50% 3FG and 85% FT).

Michael Jordan is the best player ever to be
in the NBA. Lebron James is NOT better than
MJ.
