He did say Freddie used to teach him the same gameplan and his opponents where figuring him out 'Hang on.. he does the same thing in every fight...'
If I was him I would listen to Virgil.. apparently he wants someone to shout at him as Roach was such a nice guy.

Less than a year ago, Amir Khan was regarded by many as the best super lightweight on the planet. Today, the 25-year old finds his career on the verge of red alert status. Back-to-back losses coupled with a lengthy delay in between makes it long ago since Khan’s arm was raised in victory. His 5th round knockout win over Zab Judah last July looks better in retrospect, but hardly erases what has followed. A disputed points loss to Lamont Peterson late last year was followed up by a disastrous knockout at the hands of unbeaten Danny Garcia this past July. The showdown with Garcia was a welcomed alternative to his planned rematch with Peterson, which was canceled after the American tested positive for synthetic testosterone. Two losses later, Khan is ready to resume his winning ways, which he hopes will come in his December 15 showdown with unbeaten Carlos Molina at the Sports Arena in Los Angeles, California. Significant changes were made in Khan’s camp, including replacing head trainer Freddie Roach in favor of Virgil Hunter. Roach is a five-time Trainer of the Year recipient and recent inductee into the Boxing Hall of Fame. However, Khan felt it was time to part ways, opting to go with red-hot Hunter, the most recent Trainer of the Year honoree in large part due to his success with unbeaten Andre Ward. "It hasn’t been a good year but I’ll come back,” Khan (26-3, 18KO) acknowledged during Tuesday’s press conference in London. “Mentally I’m prepared & know the change in trainers and camp will be a massive help. I still have a lot to learn but I know my new trainer Virgil Hunter will help me with that." While the change in trainers resembles a fresh start, Khan can take comfort in knowing that his team still stands firmly behind him. “We’re entering the next chapter with Amir Khan and moving forward,” stated Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions, Khan’s promoter. “December 15 is going to be a very special night for fight fans. Carlos Molina is ready to step up and win this fight. It’s up to Amir Khan to prove him wrong.”
YES LOL. Exacly what I was thinking... they are way to big and slow to be 135 fighters (compare them to ref size) What a plonker... There is no footage available on youtube of THE Carlos '135' Molina Edit: Yup this is Molina vs Frias @ 154 pounds. The only people who have seen this guy fight are the ones who watched him on some unknown televised undercard. Cannon Fodder?
So he starts of the video by saying Khan wouldn't face the 154lb Molina and then pretends that he is talking about the 135lb Molina? Box circles around Molina LOL.... when has he ever boxed circles?
Amir Khan is looking to return to the basics under new trainer Virgil Hunter ahead of his first fight since splitting from Freddie Roach. Khan, who will meet Carlos Molina in Los Angeles on December 15, severed his ties with Roach following back-to-back defeats and will now be aiming to return to winning ways against the unbeaten American. Former WBA and IBF light-welterweight champion Khan cited a lack of training time with Roach as one of the major reasons behind his decision to change trainer and is hoping things will be different under Hunter. This content is protected He said: 'We have changed a lot of stuff for this upcoming fight, first of all the trainer which I think is a massive part of the camp. 'The reason I had to change trainer is because when you are always winning a fight you never look at the bad points but when you lose a fight you sit down with your team and you go through the whole camp and where you think you went wrong. 'Freddie is a great trainer but I wasn't getting everything I wanted. 'Freddie is a very busy guy and one of the best trainers in the world, I personally the one who called Freddie on the phone and told him I would no longer be training with him.' The 25-year-old also confirmed he had spoken to several trainers, including Floyd Mayweather Snr, but was comfortable with Hunter and felt he was the right man to progress his career.
