thurman freddie roach"khan should stay away from punchers if he does that he will do great things" bottom line is anyone who can punch will be a tough fight for khan
Thurman. Khan is over rated glass. If Alexander had any pop on those check hooks he would have knocked him the **** out
Since he's not going to be fighting may or pac this could be great fight...very dangerous for khan but one he could maybe win. That said I voted thurman ko. Just wouldn't want to bet on it.
for people to say khan has really improved at 147 he needs to face a known puncher then we can see the real improvements because khan with roach was doing even better against non punchers
Khan may have the speed, but damn his chin though.... Thurman will be targeting it all night. Khans legs will be shaking like a giraffe and then gets knocked out. Thurman via KO!
Thurman went 12 with Bundu. Khan eats fighters like Bundu for breakfast. Khan via not being an overrated, American hype job.
Bundu would be an easy win for Khan as he was for Thurman. He is too slow to be a problem. But that doesn't mean Bundu isn't durable with a decent set of whiskers on him. Khan is a bit of a strange one...he took a lot of heavy shots against Maidana and was still standing...albeit on ***** street at one point. But he weathered the storm...and apart from that moment Maidana didn't seem to be that much of a problem for Khan..his speed and boxing skills were > Maidanas. Now Thurman is good but untested at top level. But on his side he has speed as well as power and isn't over the hill. Khan could win easily on points if he doesn't engage to much and stay in the pocket. But also is very easy to see a Thurman bomb giving Kkan a reason to do the chicken dance...before taking a nap centre ring.
:deal exactly how i see it with khan u never know what will happen vs a puncher but great watching all the same
I think Khan would build a lead on points before getting flattened by the 8th or so. Thurman Tko8 Khan. I'm not fully sold on Thurman, yet, but think he posses more than enough power to spark Khan at some point in a 12 rounder.
Thurman would easily catch Khan mid flurry with a powerful counter. Khan will not likely make the 10 count.
And lets not forget Thurmans whiskers are not yet tested. He was showing a lot of caution/respect vs Bundu who isn't a noted puncher.......
