Hopkins on Khan - "Ive never seen anything like this"

[SmoothMon]

Jones was only a boy of 24 when he beat Hopkins back in 93, one year older then Khan. Did he miss that "speed, power and movement of the complete professional?"

I don't see how 1 fighter can not challenge himself and get praise, but others fighters don't and get scolded?? Funny this Boxingscene.. As I recall qoutes from this site," all the talent in the world counts for nothing if you don't challange yourself", right? I want to see how long before he is shunned after all of this cum surfing.

The big thing is that this was his first fight in America and he handled the nerves issue like a pro. I was impressed with his reflexes, which are what allowed him to look so fast. Khan looked slow to me in this fight compared to his normal speed but his reflexes were right on point.

The thing I noticed as the fight went on was Khan's strategy which was subtle and simple yet so effective. He would just throw a follow up punch or two as Malignaggi always steps straight back or back with a lean and resets to throw a punch. Khan would throw that second or third punch that kept Paulie from establishing a rythym and it is all set up by that initial counter punch that Khan could land because of his quick reflexes.

He was very patient and I believe he could have wiped Paulie out in a few rds but wanted to focus on form and strategy.
