khan vs broner at 147 who wins.

[ottocon860]

Not a Khan fan but I see him winning it. Maidana outboxed and hit Broner a bunch. I just see Khan moving and slappihg Broner around all night. Khan is longerand quicker than Broner.

Khan. Broner is too stationary. Khan's chin and footwork leave much to be desired, however Broner's power is marginal at 147 so Khan shouldn't have to worry about getting caught with something big. He's rangier, faster, better jab, and goes to the body well. Khan via UD.

[Bushbaby]

Yes you are. Where am I backtracking exactly? I have never said time doesn't matter. I agree that both fighters made certain improvements - but I'm not sure the Maidana that fought Khan is exponentially worse than the Maidana that fought Broner.

What I do think though, is that the guy who was flattened in a minute by Prescott had made extreme improvements by the time he fought Maidana - I'm sure everyone would agree.

Yes you did. Hell is a bit strong, he put him down in one round - but Khan didn't seem to be overly hurt by that and had another round where Khan was running. In every other round Khan either shut him out completely or there was 1 or 2 close close rounds.

Maidana gave Khan hell, Diaz troubled him.

It still wasn't a triangle theory, but you are forgiven. Not everyone has the smarts to keep up.

Khan did look better at 140 since being destroyed by Prescott. Who said otherwise?? What I am saying is that since being destroyed yet again by Garcia, Khan hasn't looked good, made no improvements and cannot be considered a better fighter than Maidana especially right now. Making his 2010 win over Maidana irrelevant as a standard for who wins right now.

But yes, if you say Khan beats Broner because he beat Maidana 4 years ago that's a triangle theory. if you bring up what any fighter did and use it to measure what another fighter would do it's a triangle theory.

But I didn't.

in the late rounds of the fight broner landed some straight right hands on maidana that would've hurt khan for sure, broner has good hand speed to compete with khan and is more accurate. if julio diaz can time khan and land big on him broner can do it too

[FrankieBruno]

Khan UD, he'll also knock Broner down

Broner chin is also suspect

Exactly, when you have to fighters with close to the same handspeed, you go with the more accurate fighter. Broner easily is more accurate.

But they don't have close to the same handspeed. They used to say the same about Judah.

Pretty much all the intangibles work in Khan's favour, except for maybe chin. But Broner's hardly a concussive puncher anyway, so really doubt it would change anything.

They both have suspect stamina, but speed of hand, foot are in Khan's favour. Experience, competition, ring generalship, movement, jab, power etc are all in Khan's favour.

Punch variety too.

Broner's chin may be suspect but Khan's chin is convicted and has been sentenced to death or should I say has been a death sentence to his boxing career. That being said if Khan can stay away from anything hard to his chin he survives and wins on points, but this is boxing you will eventually get hit.

No intangible works in khan's favor. Speed of hand is very close. footspeed favors Broner, running and being off balance is not good footwork or footspeed.
