[Gorgeous George]

its khans glass jaw and eagerness to please the home crowd which is going to let him down here...

[Boxer1590]

Was that Urbano Antillon he was sparring?

and he wasn't schooled by the way

[Dynamite Kid]

i sure hope he doesnt fight like this on saturday

Where are the feints ?

You can see quite clearly he does not know how close that distance quickly without leaving himself out of position or reaching.

Khan told the British press the other day that he will soon become the greatest Pound-for-Pound fighter on the planet.

Typical British understatement, huh?

He said Roach 'can' make him one of the best fighters in the world. There is nothing wrong with confidence. Now if he said he 'is' one of the best p4p boxers I would have said he was crazy, but there is nothing wrong with saying he 'wants' to be one of the best p4p.

true. He has a very good jab, real fast, but hes following his opponent around and falling into loads of traps like an amateur...wrong distance, wrong footwork and always leaves himself open to counters after his fast and often ineffective flurry coming forward

khan did well, he isnt used to fighting bigger fighters than him lets be honest, that guy looked like a 6ft middle/supper middle. Saying that khan didnt look that great and could have thrown more flashy combos.

PLus point though, he hit khan with some big shots every now and then and he wasnt wobbled at all, and the guy was about 2 stone heavier than kotelnik will be
