    Khan's performance against ***an?

    Anyone see the Khan fight? Its available in the video trading block. You can easily see what the work with Roach did. Khan was moving laterally and with fast inside/outside movement. Kinda looked a bit like Pacquiao's ring generalship. What do you people think of his performance? That chin will always be a worry but this seems like a good first step.

    The opponent wasn't the best but good to get Khan's confidence up! I think he looked faster, his hand speed and power looked good. His defense looked a lot better! He kept his hands up, moved in and out slipping ***an's punches and never really took many shots from ***an. He kept his composure throughout and never rushed in wrecklessly! I liked the performance and I think Roach has improved him a lot!

      I agree about an oponent being not as good, but Khan looks really good last night....

        I do think Roach is gonna get the best out of him.. He's probably gonna have trouble against true elite due to chin but perhaps with solid d and a smart style he can really capitalize on his strengths.

          Big improvement from his last fight, cant really tell though as ***an wasn't a quality opponent.

            ***an was not a good indicator of how much he has improved so it's hard to say how much better he is but he did seem to be more patient and wait for the openings to come to him rather than trying too hard to make his own openings and he seemed to be using his jab more and was employing a bit more movement, he still got wild when he had ***an hurt though.

              ***an wasn't that good but he went to fight his heart out and Khan looked really good last night. I think he'll be okay against light punchers, but he'll crumble against good pressure fighter and punchers.
