| 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.

except Game 2 which was uploaded last year. You

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.
