Freddie Roach on The Rebuilding of Amir Khan

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

by T.K. Stewart - Beginning immediately, Freddie Roach is taking over the training reigns of the recently humiliated Amir Khan who was practically eviscerated in less than a round by the unheralded Breidis Prescott last month. [details]

sparring against khan i think will be good prep for pacman for the dlh fight. khans about the same size and oscar and hs a rapid jab and a decent left hook. and with the headgear he might not get knocked out....

[MANGLER]

Start wit his defense. You can't grow a chin. Roach needs to get the man blockin, slippin, and duckin.

Amir khan needs to get away from the celebrity lifestyle that he has here in the UK. He needs to go HARDCORE. He should be eating, sleeping, breathing and sweating boxing.

When he goes for a ****, he should be ****ting out boxing gloves.

Thats hardcore! Learn the ugly parts of the game, not just the flashy stuff!

i dunno i think hes fairly dedicated to it. he was 1.5% body fat for the gomez fight.

khan will get better under roach

i dunno i think hes fairly dedicated to it. he was 1.5% body fat for the gomez fight.

Surely unhealthy though?

1.5 percent of 135 is about just 2 pounds of fat!

britons loved american trainers... first, hatton hires ugly old floyd... now khan inked freddie roach. let's see who's ward learns fast and win titles.

probably, sounds like it could be. i thought pac man used to come in at about that, but im no expert.

also, no way alonso is too slow for juve.

There is noway khan had just 2lbs (1.5% body fat) of fat against gomez. People who die of starvation still carry about 4.5 lbs of fat. I don't even think bodybuliders who diet to the brink of collapse can get there body fat that low. He may have got it down to around 3-4%.
