the performance actually wasnt as great as I thought when I rewatched it. For the first 3 or 4 rounds he looked better but still pretty much the same guy. He was still really amtureish lookin at times.
He was fighting like 2 guys on the street fight who are kinda scared of eachother. He would be standing on the outside looking like "uhhhhh" and then just run in and throw alot of shots. There was no technique behind it.
I did like that good long left hook that he threw over Zab's right jab, like Floyd does some and Pac does alot now. Pac killed Cotto with that and Khan was doing that to Zab.
I cant remember if it was the 4th or 5th round but thats when he started getting more consistent and looking more disciplined. All in all it was a hard performance to judge. He was good but still flawed.
However, everyone knows that I talk about the Soutpaw advantage more then anyone on this site and I know that can trouble some guys. Zab ****** like he always does now. Sure alot of it was Khan but Zab was being cautious anyways because thats what he does now.
Therefore the only way to see how good and how far Khan has really come now is to see him in with a good righty. If he still fights like an amature then, he has no excuse. He's definitely not ready for Floyd if you go just by that Zab fight. It would be a mismatch. But again, he might look alot more consistent against a righty.
You cant just stand there looking like "should I go, should I go" and then just run in and throw alot of wild shots. An elite guy would pick that apart. Have to see him against a righty to judge fully.
Edit: He had very good footwork & movement though. Best Ive ever seen him with and looked like some of the best in boxing for that night. His jab was also on point and a good job is probably the best punch in boxing
