Oliver Harrison Blasts Amir Kahn's Trainer Jorge Rubio

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Oliver Harrison, the man who trained Amir Khan from his pro-debut until his seventeenth fight, has lashed out at Khan's new trainer Jorge Rubio. Harrison was unexpectedly fired a few months ago. Khan's unbeaten streaked was crushed last Saturday in Manchester when he was knocked out by Colombian Breidis Prescott in 54-seconds of the first-round. He called Rubio a "a Cuban amateur" and advised his former fighter to hirs Naseem Hamed's former trainer Brendan Ingle. [details]

I was waiting for his response sinice Amir loss and I was not dissapointed.

I've got to agree with Harrison here, Rubio is an amateur coach, he tried to teach Khan the Cuban amateur defense.

There is no one to blame but Khan. A trainer can teach you everything in the world that you need to know, but he can't fight for you. Frazier and Norton gave Ali fits when he fought them. Then both guys fight Foreman, and both get ktfo in 2 rounds...Nobody blamed Futch did they?

he didn't train him for gomez, and to be fair to the guy they ripped into him and basically blamed Khan's progress defensively on oliver. He must have loved seeing Khan get KTFO, he was treated like **** so i don't blame him

Not too sure where the blame lies here, I understand what oliver is saying re: the way to fight a puncher... But the whole Khan hype circus have Khan actually thinking he is capable of standing and trading.

Even under Oliver, Prescott would have caught khan at some point and put him on his backside... As his defense was just as bad under him (and as for his chin.. oh well!).

I do feel Khan as some talent and prospect which would be maximised under the right training and management but as it stands he may of found his plateau... He needs to go back and have some wars with some of his domestic comrades and then restart his attempt to climb to world championship level.

Khan needs to wise up before his career is over.

1. Dump ****ing Warren
2. Spar with some tough Mexicans
3. Dump Rubio
4. Get a decent trainer e.g. Mayweather or even Roach
