    You can see from his sparring what was going to happen in the fight at 11:30.

    To be fair, Freddy wasn't there to supervise the sparring.

    Actually, it IS Freddy's fault.

    In an interview a little while ago, Roach specifically said he was training Kahn to fight more flat footed. The idea was so he'd be less wild, conserve energy, and set his punches better.

    But WTF? All of those faults can be worked on without taking away your fighter's main defensive strength. - especially a fighter with a known weak chin.

    Seriously, Roach must be an idiot. Long ago, he probably just got lucky when someone brought Pac to him. Pac would have been a superstar no matter WHO trained him. Who else has Roach coached? Oh yeah, and look how THAT turned out.

    He displays almost no skill. The guy has no slickness in his game. You just shake your head when you watch him fight.

    Roach has failed Khan for sure, but Khan is a f'king idiot! He was surviving that round running, yet he started to exchange, wtf! idiot.

    Khan had it coming. In the end, it's only him in the ring and Khan did what he wasn't supposed to do. He just needs to reevaluate in boxing IQ.
    Although I wouldn't mind if he were to be trained by Manny Steward.

    Freddie Roach is horrible these days. Guy shoulda stopped the fight after the second knockdown.

    Hate to see what Floyd woulda done to him inside of 1 or 2. As soon as those right hands started landing Khan woulda been knocked out cold.

    Khan's problem is that he gives up his range and height much too easy .. He could have beat Danny from the outside but he basically just stayed in Garcia's range ..

    I agree. Roach is not the man to fix the flaws of Khan. But I'm not sure if Khan is disciplined enough to change himself man. He lacks intelligence. Wlad was able to change because he is smart and has a high intelligence.

    If he stays with Roach then he'll probably suffer another knockout loss..

    The only hope for Amir is to get a hold of Vitali's **** and use it as aftershave. Maybe then he will have a man's jaw. Until then... He should stick to fighting teenage girls.

    Somebody tell Khan, yelling when you throw a punch does not always knock the other guy out.

    Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!

    You should be slapped for that comparison.

    Norris was a LIGHT YEAR more talented and skilled than Con.

    I am not sure. I remember Norris being wobbled and knocked down by Simon Brown's jab. He had 3 fights with Santana. Norris was good. A little overrated nowadays. I don't know how great his era was at 154.
