    Facts we've learned about KHAN v PERTERSON

    Fact number one.

    The KHAN era is upon us. And he is a good fighter, in due time. He's gutsy he ballsy he has a little swag.

    Fact two.

    He has to carve out his own style and elements of what works with his style have been seen in the last 3 fights. Body Shot he landed on Midana, The ability to make it a rougher fight against that British guy, and his fleet footedess (Peterson) is a good thing when he lands clean.

    Fact three.

    He didn't get jobbed. He lost that fight. Though he is the better fighter of the two Peterson did adjust Khan did not.

    Fact four.

    Freddy roach as a coach is very limited. Everyone now has seen his prototype style. He did it with Manny now he is doing it with KHAN. They are pretty much the same fighter and it's the limited knowledge of Roach that is holding Amir back.

    fact five.

    Amir needs to learn to fight on the inside or at least rip the body the way he did so successfully he did against Miadana. He has very good leverage to the body that he is not using.

    Fact six.

    Bradley is a lil ***** by talking smack about Khan post fight. If he knew he could have been him, he should have taken the fight. Bradley "desert storm" Whiffed huge on that potential fight. He will have one, But, Amir will become a more accomplished fighter and in that ,will, be punished because of that fatal error. Boxing is about inches and he should have capitalized when the opportunity presented itself. Mark my words! (miadana body shot)

    Fact seven.

    KHAN has a chin, but should not put it on display.

    words in passing.

    A loss means nothing especially in a fight that raised both fighters stock. Khan now needs to mature as a fighter and not a boxer inside the ring, antics like he did against Peterson trying to mimic Floyd Mayweather / Manny Pacquaio body language is not conducive to his success. He needs to focus in on what he does best and what he does not do that well and bridge that gap and let the fans praise him for what he is doing not what he is trying to prove. Huge difference.

    Just my thoughts.

      If he keeps fighting like that his era will be over before it begins.

      Those style of fights are taxing on the body.

      He needs to watch a little Oscar to learn how to stay off the ropes.

        Khan can't beat Berto or Ortiz at 147 based on what he showed on the weekend or in any other fight.

          Dude has allot of great possibility. fast fast not quick good footwork. he just needs to put elements together into a complete fight. he has holes for sure! but look what he was 3 years ago... allot of change in mentality as well as work ethic. All i can say he is a fighter ROACH is his TRAINER and it's up to the TRAINER to supply a good gameplan which he DID NOT DO.

            TRUE.

            BUT.

            Whoe fault is that Khan the fighter or ROACH the trainer. Look at all his star pupils Manny, That mexican dude I can't remember but he lost recently, and KHAN. they all fight the same... it's scary... and i think highlights how none versatile ROACH truly is.

              Those arent facts.

              The only facts I learnt (or more like confirmed) was -

              1. Khan has no inside game at all, zero!
              2. Khan's footwork is still terrible, he has quick feet but not good feet. ALWAYS off balance and cant punch on the back foot.

              There is no Khan era coming, he isnt an Elite fighter and is very overrated.

                Its all Khan's. He the one in the ring, showing off while getting pummeled, running around and covering on the ropes and getting hit. Its all signs of immaturity. Same with Linares, he was boxing Demarco's socks off in the first 9-10 rounds and then just breaks down.

                People need to stop blaming Roach. Khan is the fighter in the ring and was the one making the childish mistakes.
