        Where does the schooling occur?

        He gave some good shots, and he took some good shots. Sparring is supposed to prepare you for the fight, and not be a once sided beatdown.

        For all we know that could have been Khans 10th round of sparring. Freddie Roach switches sparring partners after 2-3 rounds so his opponent would have been fresh.

        Some people just can't wait to see a young, talented fighter, fail. It's pretty sad that these people call themselves fans of boxing.

            Yes, I too failed to detect a schooling.

              I wouldn't call that a schooling. Not even close. He didn't look great though either. Like someone mentioned earlier, it's hard to judge it without context.

                Nope, that already happened to Khan. People are just being realistic, no boxer is fast enough to protect such a fragile chin. Then again, its sparring, you are supposed to work on your weaknesses, not KO every partner.

                  We'll see against Kotelnik.

                  Barrera found Khan a few times, but he didn't get rocked.
