Comments Thread For: Crawford: Not Looking At Khan's Chin, I Look At How To Get Win

[alexnation]

You dont look for khans chin...with its special set of skills it has developed over a career of being tagged....his chin will find you, it will connect with you and it will self destruct on you.

I love this

Crawford should just focus on winning rounds. The KO will come later.

Teddy Atlas summed khan up perfectly prior to the Canelo fight, he said 'Khans a good fighter, fast and athletic but he makes mistakes and when your on this level one mistake will cost you the fight'
Crawford will tag and hurt khan each and every time he lands flush just like Samuel Vargas did, only this time Crawford will time him and then stop him when he sees the opening. Inside 8 tops.

Yup. A guaranteed loss for Khan.

I wonder how long we will have to wait before we see another meaningful match between welterweights.

I don't expect this mismatch to be competitive for any length of time and if Khan is as bad as he looked last time out it will be over in four.I know all the welterweights were tied up in different fights but this really is a weak contest and Bud should be matched much stronger.

[Roadblock]

Easiest way to beat Kahn? Keep things tight for 4-5 rounds while he expends all of his energy, then go on the hunt as soon as he starts slowing down. It's the same in all of his fights; he just does not have the stamina to keep up his aggressive attack for any longer than that - and his energy levels don't wind down slowly, they fall of the edge of a cliff.

Thats because he fights scared, he is all pitter patter to steal some rounds and then he is left empty on the killing floor and its all over.

Khan is most over rated amateur in history .

Good. The gameplan should not be: how do we knockout Khan.

What if you can't find the KO shot or if he doesn't go down and manages to survive the full 12 like he did with Maidana?
Khan is no pushover no matter how much he gets ridiculed. At his best he is a phenomenal offensive boxer with ridiculous speed.
But that offense is also his weakness since it compromises his defense.
If Bud can really dominate every round that would be very impressive. But I think Khan will give him some problems, especially early on. Khan might be the most skilled offensive boxer he has fought along with maybe Gamboa.
Beware, don't just look to KO this guy because you never know.

[DuckAdonis]

Pretty sure Prescott didn't need to do that. I think Crawford can just overwhelm him from round one. Khan isn't even a hard puncher.

That's a mistake. I'm not a big fan of Amir but he can catch you cold, especially in the early rounds. He can surprise you with his speed and chin you. Seen it multiple times throughout his career. Also put Maidana on the canvas. He can punch. Crawford needs to be careful

Con may ruin Bud’s plan for a winning on decision. What if Con’s jaw finds Bud’s glove at just the right time? Bud could’ve really used the rounds as experience with B levels

Wonder what a Crawford*Porter unification look like at this time?
