AMIR KHAN has vowed to use his brain and not his balls as he fights to save his career from ruin.
The Bolton boxer has suffered back-to-back losses and feared he would be a laughing stock after being KO’d in four rounds by Yank Danny Garcia in July.
Last December, Khan lost both his WBA and IBF world light-welterweight titles on a controversial points defeat to Lamont Peterson, who then tested positive for using performance-enhancing drugs.

It was Ruben Tabares who told him to box. Roach was not present during the saprring session as he had other commitments
It was a different video... not the 24/7 one.
I don't know about that, actually. The fact that he is still managing to try and blame Roach for his losses, especially in mentioning sparring for the Garcia fight - is humorous to me, because there is a video on this very site that showed one of those sparring sessions where Roach SPECIFICALLY told Amir (after a round in which Amir was being tagged A LOT) NOT to be brawling in there. And Amir's answer was something to the effect of 'well that's not exciting, people want to see exciting'. Amir wanted to do what Amir wanted to do, which is fine, but.... how's he gonna sit there now and try to make it sound like Roach never said anything to him about anything? :lol1: It's on video ffs, and can't be denied.
No coach in the world is gonna do him any good if he only executes the plan when he 'feels like it'.

Doing it is a different thing
But at least for once hes come out and say it, Its like he didnt even acknowledge he did this before
I know if he boxes smart he will be a champion again for sure
too much skill
Maybe Garcia knocked some sense into him.:spankme:
By Golly! This kid finally gets it.

Khan has one of the fastest hands in boxing. Too bad, he also got one of the most brittle chin.
HBO will not like hearing this news. Not surprising that Khan would throw Freddie under the bus like that however it is good that he is realizing that he has a questionable chin and needs to protect it. Will make for boring fights since Golden Boy and his new trainer Hunter will keep Khan away from anyone who can throw a power shot, but will keep Khan on sturdy legs. Will be interesting to see where Khan goes from here, and even though i am not a fan, i hope he gets back to the Top....everybody loves a comeback.
Well Khan, truth is live dos fight back, and rabid pit bulls kill. Lots of fighters get caught in fights but what you lack is ingenuity, recuperation, guile, and humility. You try to intimidate others too and lack reflexes which elite fighters and boxer punchers such as Ali and RJJ have, plus you expose yourself to dangerous counters and often leave your chin high. Only a Roger Mayweather or Bhop could bring out the best in you now in a division in which names like Rios , Alvarado, and others ring fear for you. Even then you'd have to display mastery and dominance otherwise you face decision losses as sluggers, brawlers and in fighters will bring that fire to you
OH! congrats ! Now you ned to find one important thing that you seemed to have never had YOUR DAMN CHIN! lol.. Dude Khanscene,com back again.. This guy seems to just talk and talk... now he can talk cuz hes fighting against pillow for hands Molina,, I hope Molina lays this guy out.. all he has to do is land some power shots and not let Khan start fast like he always does....
so after the prescott fight khan said " i should have used my Brain instead of my HEART". after garcia its BRAINS instead of BALLS, pretty sure he mentioned some other bodypart after peterson.
Running out of Body parts to use in fights soon
What took him so long. He's absolutely correct in his assesment, the first I've heard from him, of his boxing abilities and chances. Normally he's on about his celebrity and his high finances, while fans saw this reality.
Without question he is a very gifted boxer with a lot of natural physical ability. However, he likes to give away those physical advantages of height, size and reach by standing flat-footed and trading and exchanging punches with these natural smaller guys. He is a big Jr. Welterweight/Welterweight and it is about time he starts fighting like one. He needs to start standing more erect, utilizing his jab while implementing more lower body movement, by circling the middle of the ring without his back touching the ropes and tying up his smaller opponents whenever they get to close to him on the inside. In short, he just needs to keep his naturally smaller opponents at a distance and he should do just fine. So in a nutshell, there's the defense that he claims he is so desperately lacking.
you see that says it all about khan, he will never be a top fighter because you need balls to withstand a dog fight, and there comes a point your going to get hit, and your going to have to fight back.:boxing:
