    The only improvement is he's not as reckless. I think Hunter is a good trainer, but takes some time, perhaps longer than most, to see results. Khan and Berto have had good results, back to their top form. Angulo was looking very promising vs Lara. Hunter needs to bring back that Angulo. Show him to jab to the body instead of the head, he's too slow to go headhunting. Limit the headshots.

    way better with VH, with roach there is NO such thing as defense which is almost always the most important aspect of any championship match in every single sport.

    he was a sitting duck with roach, throwing 7,8,9 punch combos which leaves you WIDE open and is the best recipe for disaster

    The one thing I didn't like about Khan with Hunter was his lack of combinations and speed but that all changed in the last fight.

    There wasn't as much holding as in the past with Hunter and he went all out with combinations and speed on Alexander.

    Sadly, I do not think that was the game plan which is why Hunter said at the end of the fight... "Next Time Do What I Tell You" if you remember.....

    I think Saturday nights version of Khan was impressive.... IDK why Hunter didn't like it. That hit and hold approach is not fan friendly. Saturday nights Khan, was good!
