talking about Maidana: "he's not even a good boxer" I turned it off at that point. Like to here what you have to say after Khan dominates Zab on saturday. Oh yeah and Judah is GOAT at head movement right?
I'll bump this thread up after the fight, we can discuss how Judah started crying after round 6 and got stopped.
Khan has such fast hands and feet he doesn't need the head movement, he can just move to the side or backwards and avoid the punches, this actually shows he has greater stamina to be able to move around the ring for 12 rounds, some people turn and use their head movement and some people like to go in and out, its a difference of style not a strength and weakness issue. Matthysse is not a great boxer but had Judah down with one shot, where was Judah's superior head movement gone then? What's gong to happen when Khan lands 5 bombs at once on Judah's head? He can move his head all he wants but its gotta move as fast as Khan's hands and that is hard to achieve!!!
The thing is, dude, Khans current method of evading punches is ok for the time being, but what happens when he eventually begins to slow down in a few years? Head movement and slipping punches is extremely fundamental for someone like Khan, because it allows him to avoid punches without wasting too much energy. At the moment he uses his legs, as well as his own flurries, to ward of pressure coming his way. The bad thing about this is that it consumes a hell of a lot of energy. We saw evidence of this in the Maidana fight, where he unfortunately began to slow down by round 9, which subsequently led to him being caught in the 10th. As a Khan fan, this particular area of his game concerns me. Exhausting himself by running to avoid punches, is a big hindrance to other areas of his game. Guys like Brandon Rios and Victor Ortiz will take full advantage of this.
Valid point and I agree but my response was in relation to his fight against Judah, Khan won't be needing much head movement to beat judah
If you notice in my videos Khan lets you get the center of the ring so u don't have to consume a lot of energy just jab, and wait for him to mess up. Trust me sweat pea is lol right now
Oh sorry. Yeah in that case, it won't be that essential for him to have exceptional head movement. Staying out of range, covering up and making sure his chin isn't left hanging, will probably be more important.
That method may be more workable. But I was responding to the idea that Judah should press forward with combinations, etc.
The logic you used in your attempt of a fight analysis vid, is stupid. Focus only on Khan's weaknesses whilst ignoring all of his strengths, and visa versa for Zab. Yeah, great "analysis".
doesn't use a jab, comes straight forward no lateral or upper body movement = not a good boxer, he's a hell of a fighter though.
