      A much improved performance but it can be seen as better than what it was considering the low level of Molina. Nevertheless, his inside game was the best I had seen it, and he used some of the techniques Hunter taught him. He looked a lot more cautious and was an overall top performance.

      He was still getting caught with the left hook and was abit excitable at times, the hand speed was amazing to watch though. I think he should take a Peterson rematch next.

        Hes engaging less, gets his punches and circles, where as before he would throw punches gaurd his face and let the opponent rip his body.

        He needs to improve the timing of his jabs and not drop his right while jabbing.

          Khan gets knocked out again the moment some power touches that chin.

            khan's performance tonight just showed he can beat a lightweight half his size who wasn't even firing back and no defense, it took him forever to finally get the "W". khan should try fighting someone his own size

              better fighters than Khan have taken soft touches as a comeback after a loss. Khan just needed this for his confidence

                I was disappointed at the fact he was still throwing uppercuts from the outside. Still open to a perfectly timed left hook. Looked flashy tonight but he needs a real test. Molina was a human punch bag out there. With more carefully selected fights he can get to another world title but I don't think even with Virgil he'll overcome his instincts to lead with a right from range. Just too set in his ways. Very entertaining to watch though.

                  Garcia is a poor fighter. If you rewatch khan vs garcia, khan was using him as a punching bag for most of the first 3 rounds.

                  Even when khan was unsteady the guy couldn't even land punches on khan for most of round 4 even throwing wild haymakers.

                  Khan still doesn't have great defense but he wasn't made as a defensive fighter but im sure in a rematch he will destroy garcia just like lewis destroyed rahman

                    Khan looked awful last night.

                    He got tagged with far too many clean shots when you consider the height, reach and athletic advantages he has.

                    If that was someone who carried more power he would have needed a plan b.

                    Last night was the chance to practice that plan b with the comfort of knowing Molina couldn't hurt him.

                    A real wasted opportunity.
