Gym on the wrong side of LA has hardened the boy from Bolton who defends world title in Newcastle tonight.
Khan was made to spar with Pacquiao from the very start and that continues to this day. Roach insists that the sessions are even for a few rounds and then Pacquiao starts to pull away.
"Freddie is right, but I still try and take his head off and he still tries to take my head off," said Khan. "Sometimes there are over 100 people watching, people that have just come in to see the sparring. That has made me a better fighter. I want people to see how good I am." The Wildcard gym is an outpost of boxing's past, a forgotten sanctuary that attracts as many fallen former fighters as it does aspiring pros. It's not for everybody and Salita once tried Roach's regime, but quickly returned to New York.Comment
