    Malignaggi's punching power last night....

    I swear he was even lighter hitting than usual.

    In his few shots that he landed against Hatton his jab had more pop. Maybe like he said he couldn't find the range.

    There were some combinations that Malignaggi threw that Khan should have just let Malignaggi rattle off on his chin for a laugh.

    He wasn't hitting lighter than usual. He wobbled Diaz in his last fight who has a better chin than Khan. It's cause and effect. Khan wasn't letting him be the fighter he was against Diaz and other lesser fighters.

      I dunno even the way the punches were arriving at Khan's gloves.

      Then again, Khan is very quick. So he may have been pulling his punches even more to avoid getting countered.

          You have answered your own question. A light hitter pulling his punches is not a good combination.

            TBH, I don't think Khan's chin is quite the concern it was. His body is better proportioned and conditioned to take a shot now.


            That doesn't mean his chin can't still be vulnerable, especially to a puncher, which is why he needs to protect it. But it isn't exactly the vulnerable-to-a-stiff-breeze glass beard of myth and legend - it's just not especially good.

              I thought he did have some power in his hit's he marked Khan's face enough to show that he landed a good couple of decent hit's on him! He just need's to move his head more and get some defence around him!!

              And when he was fighting Khan he kept ducking forward into Khan if it was any other fighter he could of possibly on his arse!!

              But all in all I enjoyed the fight and it was a great performance from Khan! But I still don't think that he has enough under his belt to warrant a fight with Alexander! But we will see what happen's next with him!

              As for Paulie he need's to look at his gameplan all together and really think about either moving down weight or retiring, 140 is just too powerful for him at the moment, so maybe 135 would suit him better!!

                Why do people keep saying that when Diaz is a lightweight and way smaller than Paulie

                    Really?


                    I cleaned up off the dumbass UK bookies.

                    I don't know why anyone had Mitchell as favorite to beat Katsidis, and I'm a big fan of Kevin (the management of his career to date has been trash, though, and I've been angry about it for time).
