I'm seeing a lot of comments about his bad chin etc, I'm not a big Amir Khan fan but that shot would've put A LOT/ of people out @ 140. So really not buying the fact people are making his chin out to be worse than it actually is, the leverage on that punch was reminiscent of Donaire-Montiel. The shot connected right at the jaw line just below his ear. The issue is his deplorable defense and even gets worse when he's hurt.
Anyone great night of boxing, can't wait for Martinez-Chavez.
Faberge eggs do not deserve to have their ability to withstand physical damage with Amir Khan~
Or papermache masks~
True..a strong gust of wind could drop amir khan..paper mache and Faberge eggs are in another class of dependability.
its not (really anyway) his chin. Its not great, but his recovery is non existant.
It seems to take him minutes not seconds to recover from a punch. His legs just refuse to respond. He's standing there, telling the ref he's fine, head probably clear as a whistle, but his legs dont work.
For example, just tonight, Chisora took some BOMBS and got up within 10 and was standing firm, bigger shots from a bigger puncher. Khan was still stumbling after a minutes rest between rounds
This paper mache face has a better chin than Amir "King Faberge" Khan does

The brother has no punch resistance. He needs to stay outside, hit and move for 12 rounds. He will outbox lesser fighters, but any A class guy with power will beat him. Makes one question Maidana's power.
Maidana never really caught him with a solid blind counterpunch like that either.
Khan's chin is not that bad. with Ariza with him he would have had better punch resistance. It is his defence that was the problem. He is too open when throwing his shots and took too many big shots. It was the accumilation of shots that led to his downfall not a poor chin.

Responded exactly like he did in the Prescott fight, so it would seem moving up in weight and strengthening his legs didn't really improve his chin significantly, as had been speculated by some.
I really think Ariza helped a lot when it came to Khan's punch resistance.
Ariza on twitter:
“@bnally84: vindication, Alex?” No, hard to watch that Hack ruin my work...
First Of All Khan Should Not Be Eating Shots Like That NO WAY
Where the fuk is your Defense? Where The Fuk is Your Head Movement? Where The **** Was Your Jab?
Somebody apparently Told Khan that he has "GREAT POWER" to just go in and stand with Danny and Trade Power For Power...if Roach told him to fight like that then he really needs to Drop Roach QUICKLY that was just FOOLISH!
