    Certainly is getting tagged but I guess we will see later if he has improved...it's also good practice to get hit with heavy head shots during sparring for conditioning so come actual fight time he will have a feel and be prepared should he get repeatedly tagged IMO.

      I can't remember the time of the sparring sessions but one is without Roach and the other is, and Khan is getting tagged up.
      It starts at 11:30

        Khan is an over rated dude. He was trying to block like Mayweather a few times in that video. I reality, he blocks punches with his face.

          lol.. that opponent was bruised up bad even though he had headgear on... I mean you do get bruised sometimes with headgear but his level of damage was much more than ordinary.. damn, Khan is kingin it in those sessions, he had no regard for that guys power or skills. not the best thing to do in a real fight, Khan needs to keep that guard up but he didn't care in that particular session. Good video there.

            Terrible sparring performance. His defense is atrocious as always.

            He's a slick puncher but I personally think Khan suffers stamina issues and just hides it. He's usually exhausted by the middle rounds.

            He makes for some very entertaining fights but with his style and physical limitations I just can't see him ever getting to that class A, Mayweather level of the sport

              Would agree with this. Saw this in the Maidana and Peterson fights especially.

                Meh, he looks fine. He's taking shots, but he's landing his combo's at will as well. There's no surprise here. Khan's always had a bad defence and always will. I remember Khan looking bad in sparring a few years ago before the Kotelnik fight, and everybody was saying he was going to lose. Look what happened there.

                      I'm a new Manny fan after the Bradley fight, really hated the decision and hate that I spent my money and threw a fight party for it to end that way...and I'm genuine fan now...I think!
