Amir Khan KO'D In First Round

Amir Khan was sensationally knocked out in 54 seconds after his debut fight in his new Sky Sports contract against Breidis Prescott.

The English fighter was twice knocked down inside a minute, both times by strong left hooks which rocked him, and on the second occasion, left him on the canvas for a 10 count. It was a startling set-back for Khan who was pushing perhaps too hastily for a world title shot. On this evidence, he clearly has a lot of work to do.

Much had been voiced on Khans chin. Many saying it was too soft, but to be fair, there aren't many boxers who could have withstood the strength of Prescotts much revelled left hand.

Khan admits he made a mistake coming out on the offensive, but Prescott who predicted he would knock out Khan in the 4th round is surprised at how early his victory came.

Is Khan's career over? He insists he will be back, and if he does overcome this defeat it will prove he is a true champion.
