Amir KHAN on Roach: "My Opponents Knew Exactly What I Would Do..."

Amir Khan speaks out on Boxing Trainer, Freddie Roach By Johnny Benz, Doghouse Boxing (Oct 4, 2012) http://myboxing.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/wbc_champion_danny_garcia_looks_on_as_amir_khan_of_50024d0472.jpg http://blacksportsonline.com/home/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Danny-Garcia-KO-of-Amir-Khan.jpg By Johnny Benz, Doghouse Boxing. Amir Khan faces off against the unbeaten Carlos Molina this coming December 15th. It will be his first fight under the tutelage of trainer Virgil Hunter. As you know by now, Khan recently dropped the services of Freddie Roach. In a recent interview with Sky Sports, Khan gave some of his thoughts on his relationship with Roach. "The focus wasn't there as much and we kept on doing the same things in the gym," Khan told Sky, regarding his training with Roach. Khan added: "and that is probably why a lot of fighters that I fought knew exactly what I was going to do." Khan doesn't have any hard feelings, noting that he learned most of his stuff from Roach and that they would always remain friends. "I've learned most of the things I have to from Freddie Roach, he is a great trainer and we are always going to be friends," said Khan. http://img.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00574/AMIR_682x400_574703a.jpg Check out from today, Actor Liam Neeson talking about Boxing.

Khan is so immature and can't take responsibility for anything. I bet anything if he loses under Hunter and leaves, he'll blame Hunter It's so hard to be a Khan fan. You gotta admire his heart and courage and somehow be able to completely ignore his mouth and ignorance. No need to be blaming Roach in this one. Sure you can blame Roach for not spending enough time with you but don't blame Roach for your mistakes. Ruben Tabares told him during sparring to not do this and instead do that on the Behind the Ropes video as we all saw. Khan decided to ignore him during sparring and it showed during the fight. He has nobody but himself to blame for this loss. He was clearly outboxing Garcia and his dad's reaction in the corner showed it. Then Khan f*cked it all away.

Khan needs to avoid big punchers for the rest of his career period. He managed to hold of Maidana after getting rocked in the 10th and that has caused all this delusion of grandeur about his punch resistance. He stated that Freddie did not pay much attention to defensive work at the wild card but he did advise you to avoid trading with big punchers. Amir Khan needs to take responsibility of his own actions and quit trying to blame Freddie Roach and his parkinsons disease for your own downfall. Khan is so immature and can't take responsibility for anything. I bet anything if he loses under Hunter and leaves, he'll blame Hunter

dont think that's really roach's fault it seems, for all these "gameplans" these trainers come out for each fighter, when i see these fighters they fight the same way everytime out, thus the "styles make fights" saying and how im able to predict to accurately

Listen to what the British announcer says at 9:00 Amir Khan vs Danny Garcia FULL MATCH by jonnywwe96 Which is why I hate commentating. All Khan jizz, no mention of Garcia when he does good. I can see Danny landing those hooks clear as day, but they decide to praise Khan for coming in fast and throwing

Garcia called it. He went in there, was getting outboxed but still landed some shots and then just annihilated Khan. Dude's a god...:boxing: Listen to what the British announcer says at 9:00 Amir Khan vs Danny Garcia FULL MATCH by jonnywwe96

I don't know if I would put that down to Roach, Khan made the same mistakes against Peterson and failed to realize why that was a close fight. He needed to say "Coach we need to change some stuff up maybe add some elements do you have any ideas?" if he didn't say that or anything similar that is the fault of Khan. That said Roach is a simple trainer, hell just watch Roach as a fighter it is not like he was some great tactician in the ring. There is something to be said for the KISS method in that ring but if one goes that route the guys needs to not make crucial mistakes which Khan has made for a long time. I liked Khan as a fighter for a while because I figured he would have some growth or at the very least cover some flaws, I guess Roach can shoulder some blame but really was Khan going to really listen to any trainer and take what they had to say to heart.

Gino, please watch this... This is why I liked Garcia's chances. Coño... I had never seen that. Thanks! Yep.. they knew what they were going to do.

I have to agree. When I was watching Khan-Garcia, I tweeted in the second round that if Garcia could shorten his hook, he would catch Khan. As it happen, Danny didn't really need to shorten the hook. Khan just got lazy and comfortable/confident. Two rounds later, BOOM. It was evident that Garcia knew what openings would be there. Gino, please watch this... This is why I liked Garcia's chances.

People know what Manny Pacquiao is going to do too. But they can't stop it from happening. Manny has the chin to take the fire. If you are going to be a high risk fighter, you gotta have the durability for it. Shane Mosley was willing to trade to hit you.

Bitter, bitter Khan tears. So delicious. I think Khan is the most popular fighter in terms of who people want to see get KO'd. that is good for him
