Who Was Impressed By Khans Subtle Improvements?

[- Ram Raid -]

The thing for me is that the improvements in technique that he's made won't necessary equate to him winning fights at this point that he wouldn't have won anyway.

Amir's the archetype of a boxer that's been allowed to train to his strengths for the majority of his career. Had he have been with Hunter from the off (or someone like Manny Stewart) then he could have become a real world beater because both of those trainers work on eradicating mistakes and ingraining correct responses.

He doesn't have enough time to eradicate all of the mistakes that he makes because they're already too deeply engrained neurologically through consistent repetition. His improvements sadly may always be negated by his instinctual reactions when he loses focus. He wasn't trained adequately earlier in his career.

At this point the improvements may just make him look better and win a few rounds before he inevitably responds in an instinctive amateurish manner and gets caught with a shot he can't take.

Amir was never outboxed before he was with Hunter. That isn't the problem. At this point the improvements will go some way to compensating for his decline in speed past the midway point of a fight but that's all for me. It's too late in the day for both Amir and Hunter to address the real issue.

He took 3 of Nelo's left hooks very well for someone with such a weak chin. His speed looked blazing fast, it's quite clear in the videos leading up to the fight they deliberately held back showing his speed hence all the discussion of it slowing down on the forums and youtube. I was surprised he wasn't moving as much as he should of really, he was staying in the middle of the ring a lot just pivoting about and going toe to toe with Nelo.

At 147 I think he can give everyone a decent scrap win or lose, plenty of entertaining fights left, Garcia rematch, Peterson rematch, Bradley, Thurman, Porter, Spence, Vargas.

the only thing I worry about is that maybe Khan won't ever be able to keep concentration, I seen an interview awhile ago where Hunter talked about eye issues and khan having adhd. he's made strides but he still gets caught the improvements could all be in vain.

All I can think of is that punch shouldn't have landed! Why was he attempting a left hook, was he expecting a nelo jab?
So careless!

If you notice throughout the fight Khan was jabbing after Canelo threw to prevent him throwing further. Canelo caught on and feinted which Khan fell for he had his left out for a jab which left him open for a right hand shot.

Khan should just back off when nelo tried punching with bad intentions. Run!

Improvements?

khan was better under roach.. with hunter, khan has no weapon at all. its stick and move and pray to god that u dont get caught.

[The Big Dunn]

Improvements?

Exactly. he improved in the sense he lasted 6 with Canelo but only 4 with Danny and 1 with Prescott.

I guess when he goes 9 with Brook someone will bump this thread.

It looked like the same ole Khan to me. Start fast and then fade late. By the 5th round Canelo was out boxing Khan. And the slow as sh.it Canelo hit Khan with a straight right that Khan should've seen coming.
