    I'm going off what Freddie Roach is saying, and also even if Salita was chinny, there was no way i could see Khan doing that to him off his previous few fights.
    Also Holt is somebody who loads up one big puch, even on the inside, while Khan throws punches in bunches, much like Bradley, so that could be the big difference, as he's got the faster hands. Also the wildcard gym is the home of inside fighters, be they mexican, scottish or irish, so it wont be a problem for Khan, he'l be used to it, maybe not at the level of Bradley, but then again Bradley wont have faced anybody as quick handed as Khan either.

    It is? Roach hasn't developed many inside fighters as best I can tell. Happy to be corrected, but what examples are there?

    Khan in the last 10 months has only been in the ring for 72sec vs Salita, What improvements have there been in this time over 2 spaced camps we will see in a few days.

    I am sure with all the good sparing he has been doing in the wild card it has some inside aspect to it as well to build that side of his game.

    Off the top of my head, izzy Vazquez, kirilov, steve collins, Penalosa, Concepsion, even Pacquiao has started mixing it up in his last few fights, and up and comer Jamie Kavanaugh.

    But if you were to ever go to the wilcard gym, you will see alot of Mexican, Irish and Russian fighters, who tend to be mostly inside fighters.
