Amir Khan vs Carlos Molina [POST FIGHT TALK]

Andre Ward:

I mean, obviously, I don’t have a problem with it, and that’s a big reason why they were able to get that done and I’m sure, I know I wasn’t there, but I’m sure that came up in their discussions, whatever they talked about and I could be wrong but some of what Amir is saying is, he and Pacquiao trained during the same time, a lot. They would be in the gym together, they run together and I don’t necessarily know, of course I’m going to be spending time with Amir and different things like that but I don’t think that’s going to be our situation like he’s fighting in November/December and I just think it’s going to be different. He’s going to have Virg when he has him, and when it’s my time to do my work I’m going to have him when I have him and that’s kinda it. I don’t think there’s going to be a problem and if I think if there was going to be a problem, they would have addressed that before they made a pact to do work together so I don’t foresee any problems and I hope it works out because I think Amir Khan is a good fit for Virg and Virg is a good fit for Amir because Virg is great with tall fighters and giving them a concept of defence and not only a defence, but the best defence for that fighter and Amir is already a dynamite fighter offensively and I just think the defensive improvements are going to help him a whole lot.

Good question.

Yes I have said that in many threads. Khan is a flawed fighter who has done very well (2 time world champ) considering his suspect chin and lack of boxing i.q etc.

The thing I got frusrated with was he was given a opportunity of a lifetime (Ring Mag Belt-WBC-WBA) but blew it. Not only that but arrogance crept back in after the Judah bout.

I post updates as I think many boxing fans on esb (including haters) would like to know the haps. I'm not a hater... I'm just dissapointed. Fudamentally speaking he hasn't improved since 2010.

 

Been reading the chapter on Virgil Hunter & Andre Ward on “A Fighter’s Heart” by Sam Sheridan. In it they mentioned Hunter’s style of fighting is rooted in Jack Johnson’s style, and that they call it “Texas Slip’ N Slide”. Anybody know more about this? It sounds really interesting. It also mentioned how meticiulous Hunter is and how he’s a technical master.

 

A guy who calls himself the Son of God = Andre Ward

A guy who thinks he actually is god = Amir Khan


Both have 26 wins but Andre's are against much better opposition and won more decisively.
