Khan wasn't out-classing him, he fought the way we're used to seeing him fight, made absolutely no adjustments to Garcia's style and got clipped by a counter. He needed that jab so badly tonight.

Khan's chin isn't the problem. Khan doesn't have a solid defense, he's THERE to be hit, but he thinks his speed will win him every exchange. He makes questionable decisions, and he doesn't have the defense nor the chin to cushion his stupidity.

Outclassing was probably too far, but he was in no danger. He was controlling the fight and was clearly the superior fighter. He got caught. It happens. You're right, his defense needs serious work, but with this he just got caught in an exchange that can happen to anyone.

if you look at all the times he has been hurt or knocked down. the shots hardly ever even land on his chin. JUST LOOK for yourselves. what you always see when he gets hit is he never sees the punch comming. he never is ducking, or parrying, or wincing. he just never sees/knows the shot was ever thrown. why. cause he is focised on what he is going to do only. it's the way freddy trains his fighters. i trained under freddy and it's never about setting your man up. lulling the opponent to sleep or calculated counters. manny is able to get away with because he has heard but you can see that flaw in him also more and more. it's not about the chin. fight should have been stopped after the big left hook. he has a major concussion i ame sure of it.

Dont get me wrong, no one's saying he has a solid chin but still, with his skillset he should be doing so much more to AVOID getting hit like that on his chin yet every fight he's getting caught clean on his chin.

I know we said the same after Prescott but that left hook last night would have knocked any 140 pounder down and most of them OUT.

The real problem is why the **** does he always leave himself open to those shots?? You cant blame Roach if Khans ring IQ is probably the worst i have ever seen. He's makes soooo many daft mistakes in there it's unbelievable. You can change trainers after every fight but untill Khan himself humbles himself down and decides to use his skills and fight rather than get into a war he'll always run the risk of getting KO'd.

Dont get me wrong, its ****ing great entertainment but thats where Khan has to make his choice. Does he care more about pleasing the crowd or getting the job done?
