    He looked good last night

    I want see him keep using jab boxing from the outside use his speed but dont throw to many punches he did this pretty well yesterday


    People dont like it but When fights get on the inside vs him i want to see him hold until the refs break them

    and hold there head down to If he does throw on the inside it needs to be to the body and he needs to clinch right after

    I would Also like to see him develop a nice Larry Holmes type elbow also like floyd uses

    If Khan does this he will be alright he is getting better

    I kind of want Khan to be a Mini Wlad lol

    Yea share your sentiments. In addition his infighting leaves a lot to be desired which is primarily why he clinches, pushes as he stands straight on with his hands up to his cheeks. Virgil told hin off for that **** but for Khan to improve on that, he needs to learn to fight on the inside. He should avoid these inside skirmishes as his strengths are not tailored for them but needs them in pockets during the fight where his opponents have closed in on him.

    The thing I liked about his performance was his poise. There wasn't as much wasted energy. He wasn't bouncing around with no purpose. In addition, I thought his footwork was better. He seemed to have better balance. Even when getting hit....he never appeared off too off balance. By no means am I a boxing expert. Tell if I'm wrong, but I thought at times when he'd cover up....he seemed to be standing too upright and could have a better base/foundation with his legs farther apart and slightly bent.
