    Amir Khan Fires Jorge Rubio, Freddie Roach Hired?

    It's being reported by The Sun that 2004 Olympic silver medal winner Amir Khan has fired trainer Jorge Rubio, who trained him for the 54-second knockout loss to unbeaten Colombian puncher Breidis Prescott. Promoter Frank Warren had said it was Rubio who suggested Prescott as the opponent, telling Khan's team that Prescott would fall apart after three-rounds. [details]

                Good.

                Going to America and training with Roach is a step in the right direction.

                  I saw the Prescott KO again today and I can't say I'm too hopeful for Khan, pro boxers really shouldn't be doing the chicken dance from the shot that caused Khan to do so. My main hope is that basically he got moved on to fast and was a boy fighting men, and twenty-one is very young so perhaps he'll toughen up in the future.

                  Roach is a really good move though, and will help Khan get the best out of whatever he has.

                    So now he is blaming his trainer for picking an opponent that was too difficult? Thats kind of silly, considering it was time for him to step up and take a challenge. His coach aint the one that got KTFO in the first round, he is.
                    Honestly I defended Khan for a while, but at this point I am getting over it. Chinny with porous defense, it just doesnt work.
