    Someone needs to teach Khan some defense lol .

    Seriously, fighting in the range with hands down,unable to duck under a overarm hook??

    That's basic (NOT TO DO) stuff they teach kids in the gym, Whenever he starts throwing flurries both his hands gets dropped, wtf! has Virgil taught him??

    Props to Canelo for this epic KO win, and props to Khan for giving us an entertaining fight..

    But he seriously needs to learn some defense, I think he should either become a totally offensive fighter (which he is) , or learn some solid defense.

    This middle of both thingy ain't gonna work for him (sacrificing his offense for sloppy defense ).

    Amir is always going to be a sloppy fighter that gets owned by counterpunching

      I think he has lots of room for improvement.


      There are tons of holes in his posture, positioning and defense that its soo apparent, even to casual audience .


      HIS DEFENSE LITERALLY SUCKS, I HAVE BETTER DEFENSE THAN HIM , AND I'M SERIOUS .

            The problem with Khan is he is a nervous fighter. Looks great for the first 4 or 5 rounds and then he tire due to using up so much nervous energy in those first few rounds, especially when he's in with a puncher. After the first 4 or five rounds he starts forcing his work and becomes sloppy, thats when I knew Canelo would get him.

              Khan has had so many trainers and Virgil was the man hired to fix his defense. Problem is he is pushing 30 and you can't just change a fighters DNA. Khan is who he is. Very talented but with weak defense/chin so he will always be ready to go when he faces a big puncher. You don't get better at defense at his age with this many KO's.

                  I have no idea besides clinching instructions... Khan was hitting and grabbing pretty well in the first 3 rounds.. His overall defense was still very suspect though.

                    Khan only grabbed like 3 times, I'm sure Virgil would have liked some Ward level of clinching though.

                    In all honesty, the perfect fit for Khan was Roach and I'm sure Khan would have had less down time following the Garcia loss if he hadn't switched trainers and had to get used to it.
