Khan vs Gomez video - not convinced....

[the_godslayer]

Khan looks dried out! I heard he was only like 3 percent body fat during weigh ins...this guy is a huge 135 pounder he should be at 140.

cutting to much weight can mess with your stamina and ability to take a punch he needs to move up.

LOL I heard Gomez is an Irish Mexican how in the hell did his parents meet?

Not many mexicans in ireland.

This is the 1st time ive seen anybody mention how dried out Khan looked , especially during the weigh in when i believe he was actually only @ 1.5 % body fat ..... its looking like he will need to move up to be comfortable and maybe gain some punch resistance

[AndyShitHot]

Yes it does. Gomez isn't naturally as big as Khan nor as naturally as strong. If size doesnt matter who would you pick Pacquiao or Kilitschko if they fought at heavyweight?

Pacquiao by SD. Although if it was against Haye, Haye by KO

I'm not convinced by Khan at all yet, I think his chin got exposed yet again and he looked pissed off about it. Unfortunately there's not much he can do about that but needs to improve his defense vastly before he's ready for the top top guys at LW.

His real name is Armstrong, but when he turned pro he had to pick another name as already a middleweight called Armstrong

I reserve judgement on Khan until he has faced a couple of big punchers with a decent KO rate. The Gomez fight showed the best and worst of Khan. Now would be a great time to get a world class trainer.

Excellent quote.

Agreed, he concetrates more on offence than defence but all it takes is to get caught once like on Saturday night and it's gameover.

Gomez also landed a blinding rib-shot that made Khan Khan cover low for the rest of the round. If that was a world class fighter that did that they would have finished Khan off.

For me the fight brought up a surprising question about Khan's power.....dont get me wrong, hes def above average in terms of pwoer but does Gomez just have a excellent chin or has Khan just been knocking out fighters with below average chins?? (like his)....

Gomez took some of Khan's best shots and at times walked through them (granted other times he was wobble)....Basically my question is do we now all still think Khan's power is as great as it once looked or could it be if he gets into the ring with someone with a good chin he may struggle...

Yep, I said it in another post. I think Khan just overwhelms with fists of fury to KO opponents, the jury is still out on his punching power.
