Khans chin

Ok, we all know khans got a dodgy chin, but does anyone think there is a fighter that could have took them shots and carried on, they were big shots, it was more the jab that surprised me tho, khans legs wobbled just off a snappy jab, i would like to know the science of it tho , is it just down to a fighters chin , or the way a fighters brain rocks inside the head, maybe the iron chinned fighters have a bigger brain inside a smaller skull, giving it less room to rock, and maybe khan has got a peanut sized brain in a big skull , making it ricochet like a pinball ! lol, anyway i wanted khan to get beat cos he was getting far too big headed and arrogant, i really didnt like the kid, i think he has got the potential (offensively anyway) to be a champ, but with a chin/head like that i doubt it, if he did come back and make something of his career, i would respect the guy for having the heart to come back after a KO like that, even if i dont like the kid.

"Khan experienced the first knockdown of his career when his opponent caught him with a good left. Drilzane had never scored a knockout in his 13 fight career." - wikipedia, how will his chin hold up at worldclass?

yeah it shouldnt have derailed the gravy train too much aslong as he can get back on winning ways. this may be a good thing for frank warren.. he now doesnt have to stick him in for a world title for ages and can keep raking it in against low competition. Some serious rebuilding is needed now for sure. I guess Prescott was more dangerous than his record indicated. Perhaps Warren thought that his KO-rate solely was based on Prescott fighting hoboes in Bogota. Maybe Warren made the mistake of not watching enough tape of him. Or just maybe Khan was underperforming, which I think is the case. Wrong tactics in this fight for sure.

wonder what the turnout will be for the NEC in December now?? The NEC is fucking huge. I think it will be pretty good, Khan still has a fair few fans I think.

He need to learn not to drop his hands after every punch. Yes he does, he has to sort his defense out period! If Prescott had been knocked down like the first knockdown then the fight would have been stopped imo, it was because it was suppose to be Khan's night that the fight was allowed to continue, in the hope that he could turn the fight around. Even when he went down the 2nd time wasn't he given the 10 count before it stopped? Even though he was obviously done. Yeah he was given a 10 count, I agree on it being Khans night. Or, supposed to be anyway :lol1:

It was the same ref who stopped the Calzaghe - Manfredo Jr. fight as well. :rofl: Really??? I guess he wanted to be sure not to stand in line for early-stoppage critisism again then.

I doubt that it would have made any difference, but that's speculation anyway. I'm more surprised that he was allowed to continue considering this wasn't a championship fight of any kind. He would still have been stopped, But maybe not so fast and he would have had more of a chance at survival. He needs to learn to take an 8 count, he always jumps right up. I agree on it being stopped, I thought the ref should have stopped it when he stumbled back into the corner.

He was up too fast after the first KD. He should have stayed down for 8 to recover, but he got up at 3.. I doubt that it would have made any difference, but that's speculation anyway. I'm more surprised that he was allowed to continue considering this wasn't a championship fight of any kind.

He was in no position to do anything IMO. The second KD was only cosmetic. It was all over for Khan by then. He was up too fast after the first KD. He should have stayed down for 8 to recover, but he got up at 3..

those KO shots were very heavy. to the temple and to the chin. they could knock out anybody. what khan needed to do was after the first knockdown... he should have run around a little bit. jab from the outside, so he could get his senses back. then go for the attack. instead he went straight in against a dangerous puncher. that was his mistake. He was in no position to do anything IMO. The second KD was only cosmetic. It was all over for Khan by then.

The KO-shots was pretty heavy IMO and Khan did well to even get up from the first KD. I gotta agree Bat, I thought he was out for the count. But he got right up, and was then put out for the count.

yeah i spotted the jab straight away it wast stiff and i dont think it alanded on the chin just on the head and khan legs went all funny for a half second. as for the first left hook that wobbed khan, it was on the temple imo that would have shaken a few fighters but khan was all over the place. i will say for the lad though he does have guts most fighters might not have even got up but khan does have spirit and has shown before that he can get up after a KD and win the fight its just this time the guy hittin him wasn't a featherweight - he was a real young hungry lightweight. ________ Roll A Joint

he always been chinny but i was shocked how he basically walked straight into the shots. that last left hook was bad ass! and he is lucky he was falling as Prescott swung that final right hand. it could have been lights out for good on his career if that had landed.

He needs to work a hell of a lot on his defence because his chin is awful and he will be KO'd again at some point. Even though those were some excellent shots by Prescott, he was already buckled by that jab and if you can't even take a strong jab then you're in trouble.

Most fighters would of slipped the punches, it was Amirs lack of defence that screwed him over. but is he not slipping them because he hasnt got the reactions, or is it more a technique thing is what i mean. ie. can it be corrected?

Khan can't take a shot and he keeps his hands down. Maybe this will teach him a lesson and he will work more on his defence in training. If he doesn't, he will get KOed again. he actually had his hands up the whole time, i just wonder if he has the reactions to block the shots because they were going right thru the guard. was he not reacting to them coming or was his guard blocking his view of the shots? i really dont know a lot of technical detail of boxing though so i wouldnt know much about the actual technique of blocking shots. maybe his reactions are just poor, he has fast hand speed but that seems to be more from predetermined combos that actual reacting to the opponent
