Khan's chin is better but still his weak point!

[maverickuk2]

He was too focused on proving a point,i cant see him being as wreckless in future

i sure hope not i nearly went into cardiac arrest when he got clocked in the tenth.

This fight will make amir khan a much better fighter. If you look at his past fights since freddy took over, he literally dominated all of them. You don't learn about your flaws from dominating an opponent. You only learn from fights that are close and hard.

His defence is clearly his weak-point.

And Roach isn't a defensive coach, a move to steward might be a good idea imo.

Khan needs to get his guard sorted out, and learn how to tie a guy up inside, if he had those two things, which can be taught, he'd of completley nullified maidana on saturday

his chin is fine against a brawler.... and he took some shots at the begging of the fight just to show he can take them i think, but still took to many shots for my liking.

Too true.

Mayweather is a sharp shooter who steps into the club, buys you a drink and shoots you in the face as you down it.

If he is planning to put on a show against Floyd, a serious show, that defence needs fixed so that its solid even when Khan's shook.

He's gotta be the boss. I'm comparing him to La Motta in terms of skill level just now.

Did you reach for the TV?

I was trying to reach through the screen lol!

Totally agree,hes still learning as a fighter you can see that,and his bout with Maidana should stand him in good stead in the future,as long as he works on his flaws

His legs went but i still think he had his senses about him,hence why he pulled through the onslaught

The most glaring and apparent weakness I see is the lack of:

• JABBING to keep his opponents at bay and as a pre-eminent attack for his combinations.

• Effective Clinching when he is being pummeled

But perhaps he was already tired and hurt and was adviced to "run around" and kill the time. But to me, had he JABBED and CLINCHED when needed, he can pace himself and even rest. He can even plan the attack even more.

Though I was impressed with his fast combinations as counters, and very Pacquiao-esque - he would need to learn to use his combinations beyond just countering.

I can see his fast combinations was really bothering Maidana. So, had he jabbed, not only it would minimized Maidana's bullrushes but also setting him up for more combinations. Therefore he doesn't need to run as much in the latter round.

Having said that, I really think that Maidana is an inferior boxer compared to Khan.

Khan was holding up till the end and a bit getting tired though holding it was a credit towards his stamina but not his defense.

He would have been coming out of shock and clinging on though. Its a mess of a place to be in but he managed to get through it but he lost focus.

Was completely shellshocked until he came back off the stool.

The recovery round wasn't as good as it could have been. You watch it and he was still shaken but won the round.

He REALLY needs to watch some Ray Leonard.

Yeah, some people have said Maidana took his jab away from him but imo thats not true.

Khan abandoned the jab in favour of combinations, there were times when maidanas stationary head was sitting waiting for that same jab that done maglinaggi in.

Oh ye he was seriously hurt,but he dealt with it better than he did against prescott (obviously) helped that it was later on in the fight

the point im trying to make is that he cant really work on how he deals with being hurt so much,thats mainly instinct,he can work on not getting hurt from big shots though,by tightening up his defence
