[Roksan]

After watching Khan fight Maidana i have come to the following conclusions about Khan:

Plus:
Good speed
Good Heart

Minus:
Terrible defense
Poor stamina
Suspect chin
Poor boxing IQ
Noodle legs
Easy to hit
Pitty pat punches
Doesn't have an inside game
Very overrated

Thoughts guys?

I'd add footwork. He was too often walking back in straight lines, resulting in him getting trapped on the ropes, where his lack of inside game/defense was costing him. I don't think his stamina was that bad. His chin will probably always be questioned but he's definitely not as fragile as previously thought.

I think part of the reason he throws too many arm punches is because of his balance, or simply getting too excited. He's often not in the right position after throwing a shot to get leverage on the next punch. The follow-up ends up as an arm punch.

I liked the way he weathered the storm and gritted it out, as he succeeded where Ortiz failed. His actual skills, however, leave a lot to be desired. He's still getting by on speed and athleticism, and also heart in this fight, and his technical skills need a ton of work. I don't mean this in the Roy Jones/Muhammad Ali way, where they break the rules and get away with it because they're so uber-talented. Khan's doing things the wrong way and paying for it by getting hit too much.
