I know it's only a quick look at one of their drills so I'm not gonna make any conclusion about their whole training but to me it looks like Khan is still relying on his legs for defense instead of moving his upper body and bending at the waist.

While he does look to be getting better defensively, im not a fan of his holdong his arms out when pivoting around the opponent. Spcifically with his holding his(both) arms out, he may just find himself pivoting right into somebodys hook, especially if said somebody is looking for it (khan pivoting with his arms out.) Would like to see khan have his fist protecting his chin in the direction that he is pivoting. Gotta start somewhere tho.
Anybody know if khan has been working on his jab?Last edited by ~AK49~; 12-12-2012, 11:43 AM.

As for his jab, he's always had a very good jab, it's just he doesn't use it often enough to outbox people, he's always looking to be exciting and throw power shots... hence walking into Garcia's left hook

I wouldnt say these are 'defensive drills' as such...
Seems like its more about maintaining distance to land his own punches, and not getting trapped on the ropes (which is suppose is defensive), which is something ive seen a lot of coaches (including i think roach) use.
If Ward is anything to go by then Khan will eventually be learning lots of different and more specific methods to avoid being punched. Gonna take time though!
