I'm not a hater, but someting is fishy
I saw the fight last night with Khan and Maidana and something struck me as very odd. Khan was getting hit with BOMBS by Maidana and was just shrugging them off as nothing. He was dazed a few times but still he was spry and moving around delivering combo's when he wanted in the 11th and 12th rounds. He reminded me of Pacq when he was fighting Cotto. Then something dawned on me.... What is the common factor between Pacq and Khan; both were guys who have been down before, Khan 3 times prior, and Pacq a few times himself, and now they can not be taken off of their feet by some of the hardest punchers landing the flushes shots. This isn't Mosley who has never been knocked down; these are guys who have been down before.
One common thing is Roach, and while a trainer can make your shots harder, make you faster, stronger, throw straighter and truer, he can't make your chin any stiffer, either you can take a hit on the jaw or you can't. Now I know there are certain on the button shots that will knock any man out but there are also accumulative shots that will also chop a tree down and Maidana was landing those on Khan last night, and he was just smiling at the end of the 10th.
That made me think of the second thing that they have in common and that is strength and conditioning coach in Ariza. Now I know many people will shoot me down and call me a hater, a racist, a ******, and what not, but I believe that Ariza is juicy them guys with something that lets them shrug off damage. Khan's face was damaged and he still was acting like he wasn't fazed, slugging at the final bell, Pacq said his ear drum was busted at the end of the Cotto fight and still he was swinging away with no signs of damage, Clottey hit pacq with crushing uppercuts (infrequently though) and still he came, Margs battle for a few rounds and pacq was unfazed. Maidana was landing Bombs on Khan and he was looking as fresh as round one throughout the fight.
Their ability to walk through fire and come out like they had a Halo energy shield is just too fishy for me. Both these guys defense is not that great, Khan was getting hit with too many power shots, but why should he care, he could have had his hands down the whole fight if he knew that he would not feel any of the punches and that he would never go down. Now people will be like, "tell me what he is taking then, what could it possibly be..." remember "the clear" was unheard and unthought-of of until it was exposed and studied. Ariza may have the next enhancer that either allows you to ignore pain or helps with equilibrium and balance so that stuff that would normally knock you off, won't know. It could do something to your inner ear fluid to help avoid sea sickness and such.
You may laugh but if Khan and Pacq keep fighting and never look hurt or go down, you will remember this post. Especially for two guys that have been down before and have not improved their defense one bit.
