    Aside from JCC Jr, none of Roach's fighters have good inside fighting skills. Floyd would eat Khan up there, although he could just outbox the kid.

      Every day that i come to this forum im shocked at how ****** some people really are when it comes to Boxing.

      It's sparring ffs!

      How many age old stories have we heard about so and so looking bad in sparring or so and so getting the better of someone in sparring??

      ''Oh Khan was getting the better of Pacquiao in sparring''

      ''Oh Spadafora was beating Mayweather up in sparring''

      Goddamn, it's ****ing sparring. Im pretty sure most of you lot cant have ever stepped foot into a Boxing gym with some of the reactions i see on this forum.

      First of all, let's get this straight, this footage is of very early into Khan's camp so of course he's gonna look rusty.

      Second, to the clown who said if he didn't have head gear on he would have got knocked out. Well hurr durr, he did have head gear, maybe thats why he was so confident in taking those wild shots???

      It's just a average sparring war. It's happens in every single gym.

      Dont take sparring so seriously.

        There were a few comments by Khan which could be scrutinized : He said something like "i could outbox him but it's boring". Seems like Khan is trying to make sure his style is crowd pleasing, that might help his earnings and popularity but it could affect his chances of winning the big fights down the line.

          If Khan brawls he loses.

            Also why isn't Freddy there?
            Not what I heard, he is a jnr middleweight/welterweight unbeaten armenian fighter. Has alot of power backed up by his record which I can't remember.

              ^^^^^ Exactly what I was trying to say earlier....I tried to be polite about it though lol

              Sparring IS JUST sparring and at the end of the day if their sparring partners were that much better then why aren't their names up in lights and they are the ones headlining PPV events instead lol

                In this case it's different though, as the guy emulated Garcia pretty damn good, constantly looping hooks with both hands and connecting. Khan though, had bad tendencies that exist in all of his fights, so you can't use sparring as an excuse here. I completely expect the same ****ty tendencies to present themselves tonight because they've always been there on fight night. Had khan done things we never see during actual fights before, i'd say, ok, it's just sparring. But every bad habbit was present there and this WASN'T just sparring, they were going hard here.

                You guys think sparring is all play, it isn't, the evidence is the bruises you get afterward. This guy isn't going to willingly let khan bruise him up. This sparring was in the part of the camp where you have to execute your plan now. He was executing... he was getting hit, big.

                  I remember Pacquiao had footage of him getting spanked in sparring, then he ended up going life and death with a 38 year old lightweight.

                  Who knows what will happen with Khan tonight..

                    bump...seems team khan didnt watch enough tape. never let a counter puncher time u. and khan can beat floyd??? no way, not in a million.
