khan doesn't look half the fighter he did under roach.

The fact that he's more patient means the fights are gonna last longer and Khan will be more at risk of being KO'd.

Definitely looked a shadow of the fighter in the past.

 

that's a first

 

Shot

Well said Stuey, spot on

 

shot or not he looked like ****

 

No power at all, no respect from Diaz at any point

 

Takes major punishment in nearly all his fights

 

The 4th round KD did have a slight footwork issue, as did the 8th round wobble. Great heart, but he isn't going to achieve what he has before.

 

he sounded a bit slurry in the interview too.

 

He looked too top heavy, slow and as if his confidence, was beat out of him. I was impressed that once hit heavy, he had the good sense not to try to brawl constantly, and that he finally learned to hold when he's hurt. His conditioning must have been great, as he took a lot of heavy punches and recovered really quickly

 

I thought his footwork and hand speed was amazing first few rounds but literally zero power!! what happened there.

On a side note my kid woke up for a night feed with a minute left to go in the 11th, can someone please fill in the blanks?!! I seen he got the decision.

 

I said it when he first joined with Hunter. He would fight in too contrived a fashion and embarrass himself.

Hunter's approach only works with intelligent people. It makes dumbasses dumber.

 

khan should get back to roach! Suits him way better!

 

In my opinion he fought like Andre Ward but he just made a couple of mistakes.

 

He NEEDS Roach in his corner and Ariza, but on a full time basis (especially Ariza). And he needs to listen and not get into a tear up. He is taking years off of his longevity otherwise..

 

Caught between two stools. Khan looks like a confused fighter to me. Virgil has definitely had an effect and Khan tries to think about it more and fight in bursts, but he will never ever fully rid of his natural habits. Its ingrained into his DNA. He is what he is. Virgil might be able to get him thinking a bit more, but he will always be open, its very much from one extreme to another. He has gone from being a wild fighter, to being a fighter who strictly fights in bursts. When he gets tagged, its like he tries to pretend he didnt. I don't know what it is apart from being mentally fragile.

He is still very much predictable, circling the same way all fight. If I was him, I'd call it a day right here, I can see Khan getting SERIOUSLY hurt and I mean SERIOUSLY hurt.

A lot of fighters will be licking their lips. Khan is still for the taking if you ask me. Nobody in team Khan should arrange for him to fight again, if they cared, they would tell him thats it. Even at the age.

He didnt look particularly good at all, and was wobbled more than a few times. He ran and ran and ran, and his legs looked very weak. One solid shot would of finished Khan for good tonight, but luckily for him Diaz just couldn't land it. I honestly thought Khan was gonna get finished in that last round.

One of the most vulnerable fighters I have ever seen, the most vulnerable, was in the fight before.
