Comments Thread For: Tim Bradley Feels Khan Will Recover, But Won't Beat Garcia

[sicko]

Khan just need a new BOXING TRAINER...a TEACHER, a guy who expect his fighters to be COMPLETE FIGHTERS and not just a guy that depends ONLY ON NATURAL ABILITY, Khan is TALL for his Division, but he doesn't fight tall, he should be leaning back and ROLLING PUNCHES, but instead he just keep both guards up and allows himself to get backed up against the Ropes

and stop with the whole Raising Both Hands when you get hit with a good shot and take it well

Khan gets the right Trainer, I think he will FINALLY live up to expectations, he is still very young for a boxer

[Rome-By-Ko]

If KHan can't beat Prescott at this moment (which I think he can, since mitchell out boxed him) then it'd be a good a last fight to call it quits on

Peterson on the other hand can still use the hole of the inside game , and might score another split decision..I don't think that hole has been covered yet.

I agree with most of ya post..But which would be worse??Khan losing a decision??Or Khan being knockout by Prescott??That's all I'm saying,Precott Knocks Khan out that might be it for Khans career..Ya know??

Khan will always be a KO waiting to happen, not because his chin is weak, i think his chin is actually decent. However because Khan walks with his chin up in the air and drops his hands very low and tries to go toe to toe with weak flurries, he is to easily allowing himself to be hit with bombs.

Khan on the other hand, when he boxes smart and takes less risks, he can beat most competition.

With Khan you never no what you are going to get, thus the excitement factor is always there.

People who think so and so will knock out Khan because so and so is a bigger puncher, it's not easy as that, Khan can still overcome the hardest hitters if he doesnt allow them to land the perfect punch

Bradley's opinion is hardly relevant given the Brinks job he has participated in.
If Tim thinks Danny is that good why won't he challange him?

Amir wins a Garcia rematch.
Khan's too smart to be beaten in the same fashion twice.

Garcia beats Tim.
Tim's skill level is higher then credited for but Garcia throws a flame that Timothy, with zero power, can't douse.

Bradley is on a different level than Garcia. Expect Bradley to fight Manny, Floyd, or Cotto in the fall for millions of dollars.

khan can beat garcia but only if garcia gives him a fight. Its expecting a little too much of garcia to expect him to ko khan again. He did it once, well done, but again, im not too sure about that.

Man, Bradley got my respect now. I used to hate this guy for ducking Khan last year but he showed class and now I respect this guy.

Khan will rebuild his career if he learns to be smart fighter at all time. However I don't think he'll go far because I read Roach's interview and he said he'll work on Khan's defenses by LITTLE BIT.

Dude... Khan need to work on defense big time!

I'm in the camp who feels Khan needs a new trainer. The man is physically gifted but needs refinement in his offense, more specifically, being more economical with his punches. His flurries are sometimes one punch too many and that leaves him too exposed for counters. More critically, his defense needs even more work. His upper body is too stiff, no head movement. I'm thinking Buddy McGirt, ****m Richardson.

If Khan follows the game plan, which he is capable of doing, and has done in most of his fights under Roach, then he would get a very wide UD against Prescott in a fairly boring fight.

I don't think those things necessarily require a new trainer. He has improved a lot under Roach - the pre-Roach Khan would have been knocked out late by Kotelnik and Peterson and knocked out early by Maidana. What you say about his flaws is true but he had those flaws in a far greater degree before Roach teamed up with him, and he also had many other flaws that have been ironed out completely.

[alembic]

I think my concern is that I don't see Roach as a defensive trainer. I think he's good at leveraging a fighter's offensive skills. But defense is where Khan is lacking the most.

The other factor is Roach splitting his attention on three fighters. Khan would greatly benefit from a trainer who is focused on him only.
