    What's not too like about fast combos coupled with angles and movement that keep opponents on the defensive he missed alot but he also throw alot.
    He fights like he talks hyperactive when he get more seasoning and settles down a bit more he'll be even better

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

      It seems Kellerman doesn't like Amir because he's ******.
      You do realize that there is a difference between wingspan and (actual reach aka arm to end of fist) advantage?

      If that was the case why is Williams with 82 inch wingspan only marginally longer in the arm reach stat when he fights vs other fighters?

        That's reach measuring finger tip to finger tip taking the back @ shoulders in account.

        The way HBO does it they measure arm length more accurate and Khan 24+
        and Judah was 22

            **** that. i hate the way he fights period. the dude is never relaxed. jittery. it's like he thinks people are swinging at him with razors or something the way he's always so intensely anxious/nervous/guarded. he's a little too confident nowdays because he hasn't gotten chin-checked in a while. maidana almost did it though. his whole ring demeanor just comes across likes he's still fighting in the ammeters. i feel like i'm watching a teenager whenever i watch him. weird.

                Kellerman was also going on about Khan's shoulders being wider.

                If Khan has longer arms, he can't also have wider shoulders if his winspan is 71" compared to Judah's 72".

                And the arm length advantage of 2" isn't really much. Floyd Mayweather has 26" arms (the same as Wladimir Klitschko) and so had a 4" arm length over Zab when they fought. But you didn't hear the HBO commentators going on and on about that during the Judah-Mayweather fight. There was an anti-Khan bias from Kellerman last night.

                  Kellerman was backing Khan up at the end. He highlighted Bradley ducked him, congratulated him and he was pretty much on the ball.

                  Since the Pac-Margarito fight I think his analysis and questions have been on point.

                    Max was actually laying into timmy pretty good more than Khan in my estimation

                      Khan is miles ahead in terms of speed and movement. Serious entertainment.
