Chris Weidman Beats Anderson Silva

Once again the fight ends in a strange way. The first time Silva was clowning and got knocked out and now Anderson Silva breaks his leg ( Shin Bone ) in the second round when the low kick he tried to land got blocked by Weidmans knee. It was a nasty break. On the replay you can actually see Silva's leg get folded in half. Anderson Silva was also rocked in the first round by a punch while in the clinch. The punch seemed to wobble Silva and take away his legs. Weidman followed up with some heavy ground and pound but Silva managed to survive.

In all honesty, Silva didn't look that good in the fight and it made me think that Father time has maybe caught up with him. It reminds me of the Roy Jones Jr situation. He was untouchable in his prime just like Anderson but then as he got older and remained in the sport he just wasn't the same anymore. Silva should retire. The leg break is potentially a career ending injury anyway, which could take years to heal properly,  so it seems like the right time for Anderson to retire. Would Silva even feel confident throwing a kick again at full power if he was to return in a year or so.

Sadly, I doubt Anderson Silva will ever be the same fighter after tonight. But no doubt, if he did retire he would go down as one of the best MMA fighters ever so he has nothing to be ashamed of. It was a good night of fighting. The best fight was Rousey Vs Tate. The Judo throws stole the show. Shame the night had to end with a freak accident.

Good performance by Weidman who remains UFC Champion and a sad night for Anderson Silva and his fans.

Amir Khan Does Not Deserve Mayweather

I'm not saying that Amir Khan isn't a good fighter. He is a good fighter. But Amir Khan does not deserve a shot at Mayweather Jr. There are guys in and around the same weight division that are much more deserving. Whether Khan would give Mayweather a good fight is not even relevant. The fact of the matter is that Amir Khan got destroyed by Danny Garcia. Then after that knockout loss he decided to take a warm up fight against Julio Diaz, which was meant to make Amir Khan look impressive, and still Khan looked terrible.

He was even knocked down in the forth round and was fairly lucky to get the win. If Diaz would have been a puncher it's possible that Khan would have been stopped again. And now, with a year out of the ring your telling me he is worthy of a Mayweather fight..What is happening to boxing. We all know that it's a business but it's getting to the stage where it ALL seems to be about business. Usually a fighter would have to Earn a shot at the big time by taking on the top fighters and winning the fights in impressive fashion. Khan has not been doing that.

Danny Garcia and Timothy Bradley are much more deserving for a fight with Mayweather. Even Marcos Maidana or Manny Pacquiao (if both sides can agree terms) are more deserving then Amir Khan. And they would all still be big fights in the USA, generating a huge amount of money. I guess we'll have to see what happens within the next few weeks to see if Khan Vs Mayweather is going ahead. Make no mistake it would be a massive fight in the USA or the UK, but regardless of anything else, a fighter should have to earn a shot, not be handed a shot because it makes sense financially.

I mean, How much money does Mayweather actually need. Surely, even if by fighting Amir Khan Mayweather earned a few million more then if he faced the other fighters mentioned, shouldn't Mayweather actually want to fight the best. If he does hes not doing so by facing Khan in his next fight. Maybe he wants another easy nights work..But doesn't this spell danger for Mayweather. With Khan looking terrible in his last few fights, If Mayweather fights Khan and doesn't stop him, knock him down like Diaz did in the last fight, or Khan does much better then expected, won't that be a negative for Mayweather. People will be saying, Well Garcia stopped Khan, Diaz dropped him, but Mayweather couldn't do sh*t with him.

Or maybe that's what he want's in order to look vulnerable so to set up a huge fight with one of the fighters mentioned here such as Garcia with people thinking it's more evenly matched because Mayweather got the win against Khan but didn't look very good doing it. So in turn it makes even more money. Who knows for sure. Time will tell. Truth is, Mayweather would be too fast for Garcia but he is still much more deserving of sharing the ring with Mayweather then his old knockout victim Khan is.Amir Khan should fight Kell Brook. That would be a good fight which is what a lot of the UK fight fans want to see because there is some genuine rivalry between Khan and Brook. It would also do well money wise.
