Says they have been working on the left hook and throwing it with power...implies Hunter isnt teaching Khan crap

He showed us another facet of his game, adjustments. That sh1t wouldn't go in the same sentence as Amir Khan at one point. He was expecting Algieri on back foot.
Defensively he has improved, when you're in there with a taller fighter and "engaging" you will get hit more than normal. Engage being the operative word here. Not like David Haye-Wlad engage.
A major flaw still remains and that is being the sucker for left hook from the orthodox stance.
It goes without saying he has improved quite a bit under Hunter "over all'.
You seem to have taken the "I hate Khan routine" part of my previous post too seriously.
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
When Khan is hurt he drops
Was never hurt, embarrassing you have a pic in ur avartar when Khan tripped over the ref
That how desperate u were to see Khan lose LOLZ
You can do better mate
Tbh, Khan looked like he was about to drop every time he got clocked.
So did Khan look drastically improved last night?
Or am I just "hatingz"?

People talk about the left hook, i didnt see much left hooks land, it was mainly Chris right hand, which was his eye catching punch
The same punch he landed a number of times on Pac
Its his best punch, but he landed only like 4 or 5 times.
There were plenty landing flush on Khan's chin. He is very very lucky that Algieri is not a puncher.
In the same way Khan (according to his post fight presser) was never hurt during the fight?

John David Jackson admitted they lost, post fight interview, he felt Khan edged it, but he still has to say his fighter won, because according to him thats what trainers do and feel

Jackson was right, that left hook got through but Khan is better at coping when being attacked and gets on ok on the inside these days, so there has been improvement under Hunter.
those left hooks didn't seem to carry much weight at all and they still had khan sh*tting his pants at times. algieri also fought a rather clean fight and didn't really attempt to bully khan up close. if maidana can make welterweight again, he would punish khan in a rematch
Khan has a good size frame but it was surprising looking at CA clearly a bigger guy but his left eye was swelling form Khan's pitty-pat shots curious to see how it holds up against a real puncher.
Ruslan might have damaged it
it was mostly from the head butt actually
Algieri is the tallest Welterweight right now and probably matches anyone if not has the longest in reach as well. Not sure if anyone has a wider frame than him right now aside from Thurman maybe (Thurman was 160 fight night in his last fight). Was a little surprised at the size difference between him and Khan.
nah, I think HBO said Chris has shorter arms than Manny...I don't know the numbers exactly, but I'm pretty sure Amir has longer arms than Manny and Floyd has the longest at welter....Floyd's arm length is comparable to some f*cking cruiserweights.

Algieri-Provodnikov II looks like a real plausible fight right now. Both guys on the end of tough losses but not sure if it would be good for their careers/health right now.
Khan needs to fight Thurman or Brook. No exceptions. Algieri could fight Soto-Karass, Rios, Provodnikov, or Guerrero.

I keep reading about how if CA had power this or that..but nobody rarely mentions what if AK had power to me he has obvious flaws and more than 1 but his lack of real power is one of his most glaring.
He doesn't set down on shots but even when he does and snaps guys heads back they act like it never happened and keep coming forward imagine if AK had some pop Algieri would've been sommersaulting like it's a sunday afternoon with some of those shots.
Algieri did however save his boxing career and moving to JDJ was a superb idea with some more time he can develop a better attacking game but tbh he's not walking Provo and guys like that down this only worked due to his size advantage and it being Khan.

Virgil hunter is a pretentious a$$hat and clearly wants all of his fighters to be and fight like Andre ward. He was telling khan to stay on the inside and "be a dog." Khan has never been an inside fighter. Nor a dog. He has blazing hand speed and good power. Throw in pretty good mobility and a shaky chin, voila, you have Amir khan.
I always thought Virgil is a bit too intense.
Like others have said, Roach got the best out of Khan IMO.
But when Khan got whooped by Danny G, all Khan did was blame Roach.
As you say, Khan's assets are mobility and handspeed - he needs to stay out of dogfights.

Khan looked very vulnerable to the right hand over the top of his punches. He needs to keep his chin tucked in and jab high. His lack of confidence on the inside is shocking, he was facing a non-puncher but would rather hold than fight.
He gets caught with a left hook while he's throwing a combination due to the same mistakes he always makes; Chin in the air, squared up and no head movement. At the end of the GIF he does what he's supposed to, move his head and move off.

It was the height and reach. I said it before the fight, in between all my abusing Khan for being a ducker lol I said he'd struggle with that.
I was little surprised at the size difference between Khan and Algieri. I don't see Algieri going back down in weight.
Algieri should fight the loser of Broner-Porter at 147 or 144/145 CW if its Broner. I can also see him getting back to a win in fights with Guerrero, Soto-Karass, Rios, and Berto.
I can see Algieri-Provodnikov II on the horizon.
