YOU GUYS !! I figured out why Amir fades in the final rounds !!

[Boxin']

Apart from training camps, Amir goes to these Shisha places all the time man. So ofcourse its gonna effect him. How you explain him fading against Kotelnik then?

Smoking water pipe once in a while wont do anything to him. especially if he doesnt do it in camp.

Well I don't live with the guy so really wouldn't know how many times he does it.

But I seriously doubt he does it all the time when he's surrounded by world class trainers. Obviously they'd notice something during stamina training if he's been hitting the pipes a little too much. You can't really get away with that.

He said he overtrained for his fight against maidana. He trains like a monster and he was in camp for 12 weeks so it is possible, he also said he didnt feel the snap in his shots.

[Weebler I]

I didn't think he faded v Maidana, I just think he got caught by an unsighted overhead right. Also, think he won one of the late rounds. Until that fight I thought Khan was overrated, but he showed he has something else in there, I was wrong.

[badnewsbrown]

he fades because he does a bit too much in the ring, a lo of wasted energy. and ofcourse the more you do the more mistakes you make as well.

Mayorga smoked every day during training camp in his prime.

Khan gasses because he's moving the entire fight. He wasn't a marathon cyclist like Sergio Martinez. Pacquiao's 30ish ass smoked him when they went running together in camp last time as well.

Training doesnt equal unlimited stamina. Some people just have it more than others.

When you are getting hit with uppercuts and right hand then yeah you too would fade, Khan basically need to improve his boxing brain in general, He can move without moving, he waste too much energy doing normal things.

[Pullcounter]

saying he was overtrained is just an excuse. khan wasted a lot of energy running away from maidana.

[yuppie]

Ive heard he gases out because he's on heroin.

[Toda Caine]

khan gases because of unnecessary movement. /thread

This is the first and only thing I'll prolly ever agree with you on.
