I have been saying it for months and months, It will be Bro Naz that will be training Khan, I was told by Asif Vali that they thought about keeping Roach and bringing in Naazim Richardson as a second coach like Hopkins did in the Calzaghe fight. But it seems it will be just Nazim Richardson.
You could see the contrast in the corner work last night, Roach was too slow in giving advice it was painful to listen to Roach struggle with his words, I know some people will complain they find it painful to listen to a jive talking overweight African American in Richardson, But I really feel that last night showed who would be better in the corner for Khan.
What you folks think?
Roach is DONE. How many of his fighters have to keep losing for people to see it? All in the last year or so:
Khan - 2 losses in a row
Linares - 2 losses in a row
JCC Jr. - lost
Pacquiao - lost
Kayode - Draw (and should have lost)
Really? Retire Roach.
When is Naazim's last good win with a fighter?
Shane over a one-dimensional Margarito?
On the flip side when would be Freddy Roach's?
There are probably better guy out there than Nazim for Khan though.
Also didn't Nazim train B-Hop to beat Pascal?
That tweet cannot be real. Khan CANNOT be that stupid. And why would Matthysse fight Khan? He gets nothing out of beating a guy with 2 consecutive losses.
As for Pedro Diaz and Khan, that's definitely a trainer Khan does not want. Not his style.
And oh yea, Naazim helped a ton. He helped so much that Martinez ended up with a broken hand. But maybe that was just from Chavez hard ass skull.
Khan still (shockingly) has a fanbase. It would be a good payday for Luke.
Khan has a death wish

Naz may be a better trainer for khan but yesterday didnt prove shhiit so topic starter u can stop reaching now lol. Khan lost because he got careless and a glass chin. All naz can do is teach khan on how to move and duck a punch but sooner or later he's gonna get hit. Then what? Blame naz for lack of offense and Fire naz and hire someone else again?? Hahaha
lol richardson didnt even say one word to martinez
You don't want to many voices in a corner~ and he probably wants to hear instructions in Spanish and I don't think Nazim knows Spanish~
As for the thread at hand yea Richardson is probably a better trainer for Khan but I need to see how they mix before I would go overboard on the pairing, it will take time for them to get on the same page.
Richardson was making observations about Cesar Chavez Jr during the entire fight and passing on the information to the main trainer who was then able to communicate that better to Martinez in spanish.
It was like that for ease and quickness of communication. In contrast Roach takes a minute to say a couple of words.
And the main trainer wasn't Saying anything to Martinez except for he's done, come on pick it up. He's done Sergio he's done.. Wow if these are the words naz was passing to the main trainer then damm ur right naz is a better trainer for khan than roach is hahaha!! Stop trying to blame others for khans mistake. Man up and admit that it was khan who put himself in those situation. A new trainer wont help khan, maybe a surgery for a new chin will.

1. He did nothing. I once saw him put that bag on Martinez's head to cool him down.
2. A trainer being successful with one fighter, one style, doesn't translate in to him being successful with another fighter.
This right here!! Not taking anything away from Bro naz and even tho he was in Martinez corner he didn't say or do anything to Martinez so how did u came to the conclusion that naz is better than roach for Khan lol. Half of the time u didnt even see naz in the ring during the breaks for serg so wtf were u watching?? Hahaha
