Wow, I'm impressed. A ref stoppage where the bum could have continued but as ever the Ref is just dieing to give Khan the stoppage. He has little power in any one shot. He just has flurries of pitter pats that accumulate and result in Ref stoppages. Kinda like Calzaghe, although Calzaghe had the power to deck a great chin like Eubank, Khan has yet to show anything like that.
I agree he does not have great power, but he is still 22 and his power will improve, it all about punch timing, planting feet, making angles ect, something again will improve over time. But yeah he does not have one punch KO power, but his speed and combos make up for it.
The only time his power did impress me was against ***an. He decked him properly there, his legs were completely gone as opposed to a guy just backing up and getting flurried into oblivion. That was quite impressive. Maybe he is getting stronger with and more powerful with this regime - time will tell. I think he can get a bye for not hurting Barrera too much (cut aside), Barrera has a great chin. We'll see how he looks going forward.
with respect the guy in the video isnt a world class fighter. Katsides, Diaz, Valero who are all being mooted definatly are
Even so MAB was cut Khan stuck to his gameplan of going in out, something which Roach must of told him, because the old Khan at times when he had MAB on the ropes would of went in for the KO and maybe even got taged doing so. Khan didnt really plant his feet vs MAB and was always on the move. I think they wanted to unload on MAB in the later rounds but we didnt get there.
agreed the in out style suits amir perfectly and he was punch perfect against mab early doors but this was a faded legend who then got an horrfic cut which reduced his chances of winning to next to none. Amir needs another couple of learning fights another 2 faded vets who maybe have a little more in the tank would be fine tho i spose hype being what it is he will probably go in with prescott again this year
Yeah they should take their time, but with this PPV with BO , Khan will be in a title fight late this year ready or not.
