I got that same feeling about Khan last night. I think this was his click fight and he will be a beast from now on. Here is what I wrote last night about people saying he missed alot:



    Khan missed alot but he landed alot too. Still, I wont fault him for missing in this fight as much as others are. Zab is slick and he was 10x slicker tonight with Sweet Pea's moves, he's a Southpaw, and he was fighting defensive all night. Meanwhile Khan threw non stop. All of those things are going to add up to you missing punches but he landed alot

    Very good point. At the end he won and that's what matters, but I would have like to see him being more accurate and effective. He look robotic at times imo.

      Very good points.

        He will settle down as he gets more experience and trusts his chin a little more, I think both of those factors lead him to be sloppy, but you have to take into consideration he is a volume puncher by nature, and also he has just fought 2 fighters both southpaws and both like to duck at the waist, very defensive. He will become more precise as gets the experience, and when he moves up in weight he will find he is even faster then some of those guys so he will have that little split second more time to get his punches off and out of the way. I agree with the point that it is starting to click for him...but he will get even better

          No defensive fighter would ever beat Khan. There's no chance in hell you gonna beat him in the centre of the ring with that jab, length and speed. You have to punch with him or push him to the ropes or get drowned by his workrate and combination punching. I've always said that he is the best JWW and it's scary cause he will only get better.

          How I wish Pac and him we're not trained by the same trainer. That would a great fight to watch. Two combination punchers with speed.

              He can be a bit sloppy at times but I like watching his fights he is busy, usually not too reckless, and has very quick hands. Also the prospect that he could get buzzed makes his fights more suspenseful.

                I hate how Calzaghe fought, hate how Bradley fights, and etc... it doesn't mean they aren't good fighters.

                I personally think Khan is a good TV fighter nonetheless...

                  Khan's reach is 71":

                  http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?hum...4558&cat=boxer

                  and Judah's is 72":

                  http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?hum...6945&cat=boxer

                  So Max Kellerman was lying about Amir having a reach advantage. He went on and on about some non-existant size advantage to discredit Khan's excellent performance.

                  It seems Kellerman doesn't like Amir because he's ******.

                    Also Khan's speed is fast, 3 punches missing for him is usually one for most.

                    Don't even mention Gamboa, Russell Jr etc... who fight bums atm and have people there to get hit.
                    Speed wise it goes
                    Gamboa
                    Donaire
                    Khan
