In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
No way Khan wins this
Brook r6
Can't see Khan getting through 12. Any punch with any kind of venom to his head and he's wobbling.
Khan getting walked down and not boxing well off the back foot.
Brook is dictating this.

Khan needs a KO, it aint gonna happen
Khan's famous glass chin has turned into steel
That stoppage was a bit premature.
That was just a vicious beat down for like 5 of the 6
Got to keep some interest in the re-match.
Not even close, just gettin smashed by the simple 1 2
What the feck was that stoppage?
Dominance. Ref maybe could’ve let it go a little longer but Khan was doing nothing.
Khan is getting dismantled here. Just a matter of time.
All over. Totally agree with that stoppage. Nothing coming back from Amir.

Too many chocolate brownies
Ducked for years, finally went in, got outclassed by the better fighter
You could tell Brook cared way more about who did it in the ring. Khan had a big mouth out of the ring but Brook let his boxing do the talking. Well in.
Absolute mismatch
It was like watching Brook punching a boxing bag.

Khan should of took the fight 7 years ago.
feck me, I was almost certain Brook would lose that by endlessly chasing the headshot and Khan going well against type and just refusing to go down than just getting him on a wild pot shot to the eye when Brook was fecked.
But fair play, they swung and had a bit of fun. Well worth me chasing up a Russian commentary link for, good fun

Yeah definitely, one took the fight because he wanted to fight; the other wanted the purse
I get the stoppage, it was only a matter of time till Brook took him out, but it could have dragged on for awhile longer with Khan just getting battered. Bloke was on bambi legs for most of the fight.
He would have had a nice sleep 7 years ago then
He was still defending himself to be fair, felt like a bit of an early stop.
Though I guess what's the point in delaying the inevitable
Khan looked shot to bits. Okay the lack of punch resistance is normal from him but he couldn't move, didn't even look that quick anymore, couldn't avoid anything - all hallmarks of a completely past it fighter.
Brook looked solid but hard to tell how he'll fare beyond this.

Brook clearly superior the last couple of rounds but khan was still defending himself. Stopped too soon imo
Okay fair enough. On second viewing Khan didn't even throw one punch in that last round.
All that nonsense about being smooth during gloves are off counts for jack all. What you do in the ring is what counts and Brook owned Khan
At their peaks Khan takes this.
Khan is well past it, Brook has kept sharp and fair play he just bullied Khan tonight.

That was tough to watch. Amir waited far too long for the fight and has no business being in the ring any more. I really hope he retires.
Khan didn't throw a punch after he wobbled there, couldn't even hold on to Brook.
Brook looked like he meant business from his entrance
Khan never looked ready for this, he looked like doubt had crept in before he even got in the ring
great entertainment though from both

Khan was doing absolutely nothing, it was just a logical stoppage to stop Khan being turned into scrambled eggs. It was a sad performance from a past it fighter.
Not a chance. Brook was better in his own peak than he was tonight.
Thanks for the tip
Fair play to Khan for actually staying in his feet through that... That was surprising.
Seeing the end again, weird... Brook threw 3 punches against Khan's gloves? And that was enough?

Khan looked terrified from the walkout. He knows he has no business fighting now, won't be remember as a great, his legs and chin always let him down.
Kell looked like he had been virtually living in the gym. He looked physically solid and conditioned for 12 rounds of boxing.
Khan just didn't look in shape for this fight and he got blown away.
It was so one-sided. Khan looked ok in R3 but I gave Brook that round because he hurt Amir at the end. There was no snap behind Amir's punches.

Defending in your shell and not throwing anything is a count to stopping a fight. He was getting battered.
I didn't see any difference between peak Khan or old Khan, the same traits are there. Brook is the better boxer, plain and simple. AND I'M A KHAN FAN!
Definitely no need for a rematch. Dominated all fight.
