    Amir Khans Performance, drastically improved.

    I was really impressed with with Khan on Saturday night. I think he's matured overnight. His defense was fantastic, and I actualy think he's got quicker and stronger , you could see how effective his jab was, and accuracy. If he had a good chin he would be amazing.

    He just looked like he's improved 100%

    Unfortunately i have to agree. He looked good, and i was impressed with his defence, He seems to be thinking about it more at least!.....BUT...we have to remember who he was fighting, not exactly a top LW/big puncher/quick/hungry/or at all any good...basically another Warren bum.

    I still dont like him, i can never be a fan of someone with a attitude like that i m afraid...sorry...

      I disliked him more before he got KO'd, since under Roaches wing, I've become much fonder. He seems to had matured and had a reality check.

      This fight was just a tune up, without Roach in his corner he did well.

        still sloppy imo
        Very frantic, like he's fighting in the amateurs but improving

        Impressive handspeed though

          It's hard to say how much he's improved, ***an was not a good indicator. He did seem more patient, used his jab more, more movement but we need to see him in against someone better before saying he's improved 100% because he still got wild when he had ***an hurt.

            I agree, but he is definately getting there. People seem to forget how old he is.

              Attitude like that? A confident young man, with ambition.

              Damn, if I was good looking, being payed millions of pounds, and had his talent I would have a pretty big ego too.

              And ***an was a good comeback fight. He lost on a split decision to Spadofora, and went the distance with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. He had only been TKO'd once in his five defeats, and had about a 50% KO average.

              This was a decent win for Khan. He did what he had to do, and his defence looks vastly improved.

                Just looked like the same old Khan to me. He has always had great handspeed and accuracy with his punches, and he was up against a bum like he has been in his other fights (apart from the last one).

                I said a few months ago, now that Warren is back to handpicking his fights for him, Khan will have no problem padding out his record to 30-1.

                The questions come when he gets hit with a big head shot, will he be able to shake it off or become dazed and go down?

                    You know what I was expecting to watch and not be impressed but his all-round technique has gone up a couple of levels. He looks lethal. Fantastic movement, defence and accuracy against an admittedly journeyman opponent. Now can he do this against a top 10 fighter?
