Khan at the very least can take a lot out of that bout

    Yes Khan has weak chin and yes he is too brave for his own good but that was a fantastic learning fight for him. He seems to be caught between the Roach and Hunter methods of fighting and it really showed at times, he also showed a hell of a lot of improvement. Ive never particularly liked Khan but those who are bitching and moaning about an entertaining fight should perhaps have their head examined.

    He will likely be thrown in the deep end before he has fully adjusted to Hunters style of fighting and thus will come up short before he can fully implement what he has learnt. Shame as Khan is always fun to watch.

    Thoughts?

    He lost it after losing to Peterson. It's over for him.

    He can take the fact that he can only beat C class fighters.

    Amir just lost himself a Mayweather match by looking so/so tonight.

    He's been having great 'learning' fights for years and he's still making the same mistakes.

    The guy doesn't learn anything.

    Seems like he is thinking too much about his new style and is caught between his natural instincts to go more offensive or to follow Hunter's advice to box smart. He looks a little confused in there, to me his offence and speed don't look as sharp. He did beat some good fighters in his time with Roach: the likes of Zab, Maidana, Malinaggi etc. but I'm not sure he beats them now.

    Khan looked like dog**** tonight, but let's not kid ourselves, he was 'hurt' maybe once or twice tonight (and I don't include the KD). His worst trait is that you can tell when he's hurt and he's easy to chase down, you can see it in his eyes and his demeanour and he usually gets finished off (Maidana fight aside). He got caught off-balance a few times, but that said, he was still hurt by a nobody and he doesn't look like he's improved in any way.

    It's called criticizing a fighter for fighting dumb and making plenty of mistakes. Nate Campbell dropping his hands and getting KO'd was entertaining too, nobody should criticize that move right? :lol:
