Khan fought like Kessler last night...

[*2TOUGH*]

in straight lines, in and out... 1 2, hold, 1,2 hold.

It worked against Judah but please stop the "Khan is gonna beat Mayweather" talk because Floyd is not predictable and is a master boxer.

I thought the same thing. He was fighting really technical and moving slow, but throwing fast hands. I said I can see him being outboxed. He also misses a to, very inaccurate. McCloskey and Judah made him miss a lot, and haters say Judah is not slick but damn...if Judah is not slick and Khan was missing like that, watch when he fights a slick fighter.

Khan's power and speed does a lot of damage when he does land though.

f it was working so well, like it clearly did, I wouldn't have done anything different. especially considering at how accurate and strong the combinations were. I doubt he'll fight like that against everyone, it's just that it was working extremely well.

61/284 21%.

Very inaccurate boxer IMO against a "non-slick" boxer.


Mayweather, in a 12 round fight which tends to bring your percentage even lower, against a 5 years younger, fresher Judah:

188/404 47%


Cotto against Judah 4 years ago: 292/683 43%. But Judah also landed the most punches out of all of these fighters on Cotto. Judah on Cotto 132/459 29%.

Clottey on Judah: 122/393 31%

So:

Mayweather: 46%
Cotto: 43%
Clottey: 31%
Khan: 21% on a 33 year old Judah.

Remember, the fewer the rounds, usually the higher your percentage would be. Like Pacquiao on Hatton, only 2 rounds, Pacquiao landed something like close to 60%.

Khan is really inaccurate, I imagine his numbers against McCloskey were even worse.

Those are just numbers, but if you look at it Judah kept ducking his head so he can hold on, causing Khan to miss. Remember, it's easier to miss punches when you're moving forward because you're the one who's got the obvious offense. It's pretty easy to anticipate it, and Khan was still landing effective shots. You also have to add in a lot of throw away punches, the ones you use to measure distance and timing and to place your opponent where you want them. Even the punches you throw just to throw when you initiate a combination, which was the majority of the time he threw. That's why I never take into account the compubox (unless it's drastic). And Judah has always been pretty slick within the first 6 rounds until he becomes mentally shot. he has some of the best footwork out there and turns his opponents well. And not to forget, Whitaker was more than likely showing him a thing or two defensively. All I'm saying is Khan is above average in accuracy when it comes to the punches he's using with meaning (not throw away punches).

Men lie, Numbers don't lie

Well a man with a clicker comes up with those numbers so...

Judah fought very defensively and those other fighters you are talking about were way more seasoned and experienced then khan was on Saturday. I bet judah was more innacurate against khan then any of those other fights you are talking about, does that make khan the best defensively?

Your theory about becoming less accurate as a fight goes on is also speculation. If you watch all those fights you are talking about, off memory I would say cotto, floyd, clottey all started landing cleaner and more often as the fight went on, in fact I would say the 5th round was probably Khan's best.

I remember people saying after the prescott fight that khan needs to learn to fight more like Kessler or he will never get anywhere, and now he does in a fight and gets critcised for it, lol. Fact is he has way more to his game then Kessler, he is a more complete fighter, I can see the comparison from Saturday, but he fought the right fight, one where he couldn't stay in the pocket too long, esp early in the fight as Judah throws short, dangerous punches. He nullified zab, and that had a lot to do with khan, not just zab being over the hill, khan kept him off balance with his left hand, footwork, and angles. You guys should stop hating and give the kid his props. His style on saturday was not to be precise, it was about volume, and setting a tempo zab couldn't live with. He will become more accurate as he matures.
