Comments Thread For: Amir Khan Calls Bull on Karim Mayfield's Sparring Tales

[Unseen]

Khan is a pretty astute guy--yet he seems to lose concentration. Khan went head to head with a sub par kickboxer turned boxer (Algieri). But, strangely he seems to be thinking his way through a fight... Over thinking. I think his speed, and flashy work rate can dazzle judges. I wouldn't be surprised if he beat anyone at 147 (even Floyd). But, at the same time his lack of concentration makes him a wild card that can possibly lose to anyone. I think people make too much of alleged glass chin; he's been stopped by Prescott, Garcia, and dazed by Maidana. Those dudes all ****.

Broner is one of those guys who has physical gifts but the way he was brought along actually did him a disservice. He doesn't handle going defense to offense. His fundamentals are ish. Also, he still telegraphs his body jab and head Jab via how he holds his front hand.

Karim is a scrappy guy, but I don't think he's developed his tools yet. A good friend of mine is an assistant to Hunter and they've been helping out. But, Bautista is a good motivator and tough guy but I think he lacks the in ring experience to bring Karim to the next level. A long time ago I used to work out at SFC so I'd see Karim all the time. We are similar in age too. He hasn't really had the best guidance.

Bottom line: concentration is key

Thanks for that post. Most of the posts on this forum bore me, and most are trolls or fan boys. Sometimes if I am lucky, I find posts from people like you.

**** I have been a troll myself from day 1 to now...

Appreciated.
