    Kid Dynamite will fight on Dave Coldwell's show February 24th. The plan is to fight every 6 weeks after that. He only turned pro in September 2010 and he is 5-0. The month he turned pro he fought in Holland, Poland and Hungary all in September 2010.

    I was told Mark's had some hand problems that's why he's been inactive over the last few months but down to fight in February, he's also moved from Joe's to Arnie's a couple of months ago

    Undefeated prospect trying to beat the gym hero. Gym hero getting good sparring from undefeated prospect. Everyone is a winner. Every boxing gym needs this.

    Firstly nice upload Wolf :good, secondly had to deduct Khan one Ariza Milkshake for pushing. Mark actually had the better quality there his shots had something on them and you can see Khan's problems. I mean for first minute he looked sloppy being caught with left hook while his hands are down.

    Mark seems more promising then brother at this point.

    Heffron got the better of that, pushing Khan back and throwing better quality. Khan does far too much aimless flurrying. Not that it would be a big deal in a sparring session - except it arguably cost him the Peterson fight.
     
  12. 10-9 Heffron :yep

    Needs to work on bringing the right hand straighter, though the hooking type works well against Khan.

    Heffron boxed in the ABA s the following month but lost a close decision to Glen Foot. He is more suited to the pros that said he won a silver medal in the European Cadets and won the best overall boxer of those championships. Obviously he was robbed for the gold medal.

    Khans guard is next to useless. His body and head movement non existent. He does not throw with enough accuracy or authority to stop an opponent with decent movement and agression from getting in close. All he does is go straight backwards with his chin in the air. What is he paying Roach for?..he has not made any improvement in his game and it looks like he will be always be involved in hard fights against come forward fighters and will be in big trouble againsts really heavy handed opponents.
