Comments Thread For: Amir Khan: I Took Crawford Fight Because It Was Perfect For Me!

I dont know if it will end well for Khan, but this will be a fun fight for however long it lasts.

U think Kell was your worst nightmare, but Bud is worse in my opinion. Kell just wanted a brawl, but Bud will make constant adjustments. His footwork is superior to your happy feet. You're quick handed, but he's not far behind, and he's quicker than you in every other way. He definitely thinks faster than you and reacts better. And he's a lot more accurate than guys who have landed good punches on you. Speed alone won't beat Bud. Bud will boxing, ****ing, & and counter punching too. you said u need a top fighter to get yourself motivated. You got a great one now, so get ready...!

Nice comment. I agree with their attribute breakdowns, except for the handspeed part where I think Khan's is significantly higher. But I do think Bud has the necessary tools to beat Khan. If Bud does break Khan piece by piece, it would be an impressive performance by Bud. Much better than catching Khan's fragile chin and floors him while losing rounds.

I don't think Bud has the one shot power to KO Khan at will, so if Khan's chin can hold up and if he isn't shot, a couple big ifs, this could be a really entertaining and close boxing match. Khan can definitely box and if Bud can't get him out of there, there will be basically a lot of close rounds.

Khan needs his chin to show up like it did when he fought Maidana. I think Bud probably stops him in the mid-late rounds when Khan starts to tire at some point and Bud pounces but we will see. I think this is much more competitive than Garcia-Spence.

I have zero problems with anything you wrote. I think Khan has had an underrated career, and he has one or two decent performances left. But Crawford will end this mid fight. He is on another level. Khan can make this fun and maybe even get some nice moments, but this is a mismatch at these points of each careers. Crawford is a machine. I will say round 6 TKO with Khan still on his feet but being battered viscous.

Anything except the prospect of getting knocked out by Brook is perfect for him

This will make Amir Khan a star or retire as expected w/o going back domestic in UK again!

Bud is the best adjuster ive seen in memory. con could give him lots of trouble at first, but i cant see it finishing in cons favor. KO? maybe, but if cons chin is stronger than Buds power, i see Bud countering well, dodging, and not losing steam. maybe a TKO if con doesnt fall down.

Khan has speed and not much else. Most of all he lacks boxing acumen. Bud is an elite fighter. The result is very predictable. If Amir lasts, Crawford dominates the entire fight. Most likely Bud stops Khan in the middle rounds.

I know I’m in the minority on this one but I think Crawford could be in for some big trouble in this fight.

Khan has never been outboxed and I think he has the height and reach advantage. I think the fight will look like khan vs Garcia where KhAn will be winning but will likely get clipped. I really don’t see this as a easy fight for Crawford like a lot of people think.

Canelo outboxed Khan, rewatch that fight.

Khan won the first few rounds and after that Canelo was timing him, outlanding him and outboxing him on the outside. Canelo didnt use his size in that fight, he likes to box. His size only factored into his punching power. Also check the knockout punch, Canelo timed a perfect counter. That is being outboxed.

Crawford Gamboa all over again.

Khan will start fast and smart in the first 2 rounds.

In the 3rd round he will get a bit careless and gets wobbled and fights back.

Round 4 or 5 he will be stopped.

Hope I am wrong and will be a great fight.
