Ok, all I hear after every fight is "I made some mistakes, I'll work on them"...yet when the next fight comes for Amir it looks as if he hasn't improved on anything in the gym.
The reason why I watched Saturday nights fight was because I was more interested to see what Rubio has done with him...which looks to me absolutely fuckall.
He jumped into that fight like a school boy and got put on his ass.
He seriously needs a good pedigree trainer...why the fuck he turned down Floyd Snr I do not know, although my suspicions tell me he's brainwashed by Warren.
lol@all this talk of turning Khan into Winky Wright
his main thing is that he's quick and strong and can knock people out... would be stupid to turn him into a defensive fighter and not play to his strengths
like someone said earlier in the thread, what he needs is an authorative jab and a better guard... and some more ring smarts and quicker reflexes wouldn't go amiss either
unfortunately for Khan and his fanboys, though, even if he was to improve on his weaknesses he would still only amount to a quality domestic champion or fringe contender internationally
I think he might work on those things now. Before he knew there were problems, but he was winning so he wasn't bothered. Now he lost, and got KTFO he might take it more serious. Well, I hope he does.
for some reson i dought it
im sure he knew himself what was going to happen here
and i loved his little (i know exactly what im going to do i have a perfect game plan) before the show
what the hell happend to that plan then :rofl:
what the hell have you done to you sig???
do you not like calzaghe anymore?
shame....
p.s. is your new fav fighter anygood never heard of him!!
Dirrell is young American SMW prospect, he is very fast. Right now he is too green to compete with the best, but he MIGHT be one day. My sig is just a joke, when Calzaghe retires America will say he ducked Dirrell. Calzaghe is still my favourite.
That shot landed better than you might think. I watched it in slow mo (VLC Media Player) and that shot landed pretty well on Khans temple. And we all know what Temple shots can do to you.
exactly. nobody could take those shots not even floyd mayweather
what the hell have you done to you sig???

Dirrell is an up and coming prospect, looks very good. You should check him out sometime.
I agree. In every fight he squares up straight away and goes for the Glen Johnson double piston attack. Khan doesn't need any mythical super training or Mayweather magic, its doubtful he has the ability to be that kind of fighter, he simply needs to learn to tuck his chin, establish a jab and respect his opponent from the opening bell to the end of the fight.

I still wonder what Kahn was thinking about when he traded with someone that had 19 wins with 17 of them by knockout? That was just dumb on so many levels, why put yourself at risk like that? Especially since he has shown a weak chin many times. The first hook that Prescott threw was grazing and he still had Kahn out of his feet. Kahn needs to to get with Floyd SR. He can tighten up his defense and MAKE him box the right way.

I think Khans chin could get better. He probably isnt used to getting hit much. Now he knows whats its like it could even benefit him. Those punches are a shock to him, because i doubt he ever gets hit in sparring properly much.
He didnt come out wild or nothing, he got hit and couldnt handle the power. The only mistake was the ability to take a shot. He barely got clipped by the first punch and it rocked his world and he couldnt avoid shots after that. His ability to take Prescott's power was the problem.
That's if he and Mayweather Sr. have good chemistry together. Angelo Dundee couldn't make David Estrada into a champion and Emmanuel Steward couldn't get Cintron a win over Margarito.
Its something that is in the fighter. Kahn has the skills and potential to become a very good champion and Floyd SR. just has something about him that makes his prospects respect him. Estrada is not the most talented guy in the world but he is very exciting and the division is simply too good. Cintron is never beating Margarito. He wouldn't match well against anyone that could take his punches that he is use to knocking fighters out with and still keep coming like he was never hit in the first place. I definitely see what you mean though. Steward could never get through Taylor's head but when Jermain got back with Ozel Nelson, then he looked brilliant.

Amir khan must concentrate on the art of winning and not getting hit. It is the only way forward for him. He should forget about trying to be the most exciting fighter england ever produced.
He is an olympian and a boxer first and foremost. Boxing well and not getting hit, everything else will follow.
Look at PBF.

How can you know when all you saw was 52 seconds of the first round? If a guy gets blown out in 52 seconds, that's not the trainer's fault, it's the matchmaker's and your own fault.

no amount of training is going to turn a glass chin into granite.
fighting defensively will definitely help him win some fights, but his popularity will plummet.
Khan is too eager to impress the crowd and go for the spectaular KO quickly.

The best defense in the world is not going to save Khan from every punch in the game. Mayweather, Whitaker, Winky, all have master defenses and even they get hit with good shots from time to time. They all have good chins along with great defense. Khan was wobbled by a JAB in the first round by fighter his own size. Khan has too much of a civilian chin to hang with a decent fighter let alone a top contender. He claimed to be a top ten after this now that’s as credible as his chin.
Now khan has tasted what being knocked out feels like, he understands how his opponents must have felt when he knocked them out.
He wont have liked it one bit. He will improve.
