Khan - Molina Countdown Thread / FIGHT DAY - WEIGHTS: KHAN 139.75, MOLINA 139.75

some real bull**** being posted in this thread...peterson exposed khans inside flaws? uh we kinda knew about that long before peterson

khan the "messiah of boxing"? says who? who made that claim? he's a very exciting fighter and always worth a watch, maybe that's something Andre Ward could actually learn from Khan, Ward may have amazing skills but when he fights I have zero interest (havn't even watched the Chad Dawson fight yet) I'd rather watch Khan than him any day of the week, and heres a secret, so would most people.

 

Behind the Ropes on Sky Sports 1 just started, only just noticed.

 

He called himself a king before he was a prince.....the writing was on the wall. He thought he made it, when he clearly hadnt. Happens with lots of fighters, and will continue to do so.

I dont particularly like Khan either, because he has become some what of a wasted talent. The man literally has all the tools needed, he could be a Klitschko of the Welterweight division IF he had his head screwed on. The fact is, that goes to pot whenever he gets tagged. So all it ever is and ever will be is, if buts and maybes.

Khan is big physically, he has got much bigger since his debut, he has a long reach, very fast hands, fast footwork, he is tall. He has all the ingredients to dominate the division, but the one thing he doesnt have, is a brain. There are lots of other fighters at the weight who dont have all those tools Amir possesses, but what they do have are the brains, and that instantly gives them and advantage. Some are smarter than others, its no coincidence they dominate.

If you wanted a fighter to give Floyd Mayweather his toughest fight yet, and maybe even his first defeat. It would be an Amir Khan clone, with the same level of intelligence as Mayweather.

Intelligence for me is 80% of what boxing is all about. It separates the good from the great.

 

This Molina guy comes across really well,i hope he can win

 

Seems to be working on the things he needs to and trying to be the best fighter he can be. What a ****ing ****.

 

Anyone know how ticket sales are going? was an article other day saying they were struggling to give away the comps.

 

It's the sort of fight that should've been held over here. But i guess the American tv revenue makes up for the poor ticket sales.

 

Garcia/Khan struggled to sell aswell if i remember right.

 

Quite funny when Amir says he isn't going to get in a war whilst sparring anymore and then the next moment Virgil's shouting at him to walk away and stop warring.

 

I like how Virgil's keeping Khan in check, he seems like the type of guy that doesn't take any ****. Exactly the type of trainer Khan needs.

 

Yeah, they lost out on a lot of buyers when the Peterson fight fell through. Felt sorry for everyone that purchased flight/hotel tickets.

 

Yeah, but I'm guessing that's pretty recent in camp - well hope so anyway. I don't see Virgil putting up with it if that's what he's been continually doing.

 

Who is khans trainer, like this guy
