When will the myth that Khan was dominating or easily winning vs Garica end?

with none khan fans it as, with khan nut huggers it wont unfortunately

 

:deal

That's it. If he throws those combos he's always going to end up eating something massive at some point. His best hope would be throwing no more than 1-2 punches at a time - but in the first fight even when throwing a 1-2 Khan was leaning in to land the right and leaving himself off balance and open for the counter.

If Khan is going to get to where he wants to be he needs to become a 1-2 fighter and stop relying on his speed and trying to overwhelm his opponents with flurries because a good counter puncher with eat him up. If he's going to do this he needs to have a massive overhaul of his balance and footwork. Unfortunately for him he doesn't seem like he has the best power, and his opponents will have confidence in standing their ground and landing something big on him.

I think Steward would have been the ideal trainer for him, but sadly he's unwell.

 

If khan was better schooled and more intelligent he could have won that fight, as soon as garcia started countering he needed to think ok, I need to stay out of the way of that left hand with lateral movement, and tighten up.

Garcia couldn't do much about the footspeed but khan kept offering his chin

 

The guy has no infighting ability nor does he have any defense. His new trainer Virgil Hunter said it's to late for him to learn to slip punches. He has this nasty habit of running in with out his legs set throwing punches. It's b/c of this he sometimes seems to not have much power in his shots.

Khan's skill level is not what you think.

 

Agree! :deal

He needs to keep that right hand glued to the side of his face for protection from the left-hook, and use double jabs to unsettle him. I'd recommend throwing the right only when Garcia is being backed up by the jabs and is not in a position to plant both his feet and swing away like he normally likes to do. It may be a good idea for him to stay away from a mid-range fight. He needs to bamboozle him by constantly being either too far away, or too close up smothering and making it dirty.

 

And one more massive thing . . . .

FEINTS!!!

Garcia was able to time him so easily as it was so obvious when Khan was going to throw . . . because it was every time his hands moved. He needs to feint to draw those counters then come back with his own shots.

 

He got timed in 4 ****ing rounds because of his predictable IN 1-2-3-4 OUT rythm, lunge in witha combo, no feints, no disguse, get out as quick as you can, repeat x100

I have heard the most god awful DKSAB comments about this fight

Khan was dominating
It was a lucky punch

And now we have a winner, in a couple more rounds, Garcia would have been stopped

Christ atsch

 

Of course! Probably the most useful thing -- and it's a basic one -- Khan could possibly do. Honestly, I don't think I've ever seen him use a feint to good effect atsch.

 

:rofl

Tell me about it.

 

Khan was winning but you can tell it was only a matter of time. I could tell that Garcia is looking for counters and he was having success from round 1.

 

Khan's fighting basically consists of . . . .

1) Move around and do some posturing
2) Lunge in throwing a 1-2
3) Lunge out
4) Move around again and do some more posturing
5) Lunge in and throw a 1-2-3-4
6) Lunge out and go back to step 1

And if his opponent attacks he just covers up and stands there

There is no real thought behind any of his attacks which is why I believe that any good counter puncher will always cause him massive problems. There's no looking for openings, no creating his own openings with feints, no countering . . .

It's just a very basic in out amateur style. It's a shame as I always did want to see Khan succeed, and he really has tried to do it but I just don't think he has the brain to get there. You can't beat those top guys solely with speed. Speed and power, perhaps, but not just flurrying with shoe shine punches.

I would happily be proven wrong though.

 

Exactly

Khan fights like he's in fight night champion
