Stuff like this is why I can't stand this clown. The only person that people are going to demand Floyd fight is Pac. This dude really thinks that he is on top of the world or something. Yet again, he is overlooking his opponent and still referring to himself in third person. Delusional, he needs another wake up call and I think he might get one on Sat night.Comment

People are now discrediting Khan to a heavy degree. I actually think he looked good in his comeback fights and expect him to easily beat Alexander.
Julio Diaz vs Amir Khan
-Khan continues to demonstrate effective lateral movement. For most of the fight, he was deliberately (but efficiently) turning in circles and making it a point to avoid backing away from the center of the ring. There was a giant circular logo in the middle of the ring and that's where Khan preferred to stay, stepping into his jab as he turned.
-He's throwing a sharp right hand a bit more often. It's still underdeveloped, but it's coming out straight and quick and with intention every so often.
-Khan's combinations were short but effective. He didn't throw in much volume, but his hook off the jab and 3-punch combinations were more accurate and thrown with balance, with less lunging going on.
-Using the lead hand as a distraction and as a buffer between him as an opponent works great. It naturally gets in the way of the right hand and measures the distance.
-He stands in a much more angled stance, with his head often dipping off-center after he throws, instead of being square on, which also helps with the next point.
-Khan was much better slipping and rolling with punches. A big critique I've had of him was that he was always too straight up. Here we saw more side-to-side head movement, and a smart pull away from behind the arm/shoulder with the lead hand low. Against the ropes he was showing some new-found slickness. Not a ton, but enough to make note of.
-He's making much wiser choices after getting hurt or dropped. He's not too ashamed to clinch, he's not throwing caution to the wind, he's not bouncing around throwing his hands up Pacquiao-style ready to exchange right away. In general, he's more patient, and Khan being able to "be boring" is a good thing.
Against Carlos Molina:
The Good:
-Khan was consistently timing his jab really well, landing it frequently, splitting the guard, and didn't feel the need to throw something behind it every other time he pumped it out.
-He controlled the center of the ring better than ever. Instead of retreating to the ropes at full speed (which he did once and got clocked), he used the space well and gave himself room to work by turning Molina.
-He showed development on the inside, staying calm under fire up against the ropes, shelling up, landing short hooks and uppercuts, and soon circled out back to the center after getting his shots in.
-He displayed a general patience with the way the fight was going. He let the stoppage come, but wasn't crazy with his offense in the middle and late rounds. He showed some good jabs and straight rights to the body, scoring shots he doesn't frequently use.
-Khan somehow seemed able to put punches together faster than I've ever seen. Looked incredibly fast.
He actually have improved from his Garcia days, but is still not quite what he was during his athletic peak back in the 07-08-09 days.Comment
