Amir Khan vs Carlos Molina [POST FIGHT TALK]

Well he needs to learn them from someone quick if he wants to stay in this game. I mean even when he used to fight on ITV this was very evident.

 

Andre Ward tweeted:

They want you to slug & brawl. Then if you get knocked out, they say you need to fight smarter!! Which one is it??

A lot of heart shown from Amir Khan!! Nothing to be ashamed about. Keep your head up!!

Ruben replied:

When @andreward the best SM Champ in the world says @AmirKingKhan showed heart in his performance, who cares what the other british guy says.

 

Khan hints at split from trainer Roach following Garcia humiliation

Amir Khan will review his relationship with the world’s top boxing trainer following the brutal loss of his world title.

Britain’s fallen world light-welterweight champion retains absolute belief in the skills of Freddie Roach but he is ready to give the maestro of the Wild Card gym an ultimatum which he may not be able to accept.

Khan wants Roach to make him his first priority, ahead of pound-for-pound legend Manny Pacquiao, after his defeat by Danny Garcia here on Saturday.

‘The time has come for me to be No 1 in my training camp,’ said Khan. ‘I’ve got to start putting myself first and stop worrying about other people.’

Roach has guided the Briton to the boxing summit but has required him to fit in with the schedule of the legendary Pacquiao, which involves training in the Philippines for weeks at a time.

Khan does not hold Roach responsible for his latest loss, shouldering much of the blame himself when he says: ‘I’m too brave for my own good sometimes. I don’t need to take the risks which result in me getting caught by the big left hook which changed this fight.’

However, the brief but savage beating he took here is forcing him to re-assess his entire strategy.

Nursing a badly marked face and a damaged ear as he discussed his future, Khan said: ‘I can’t afford to make any more mistakes. Me and my team must go over every detail and make changes where necessary. It’s time for me to grow up. I’m a man now, not a boy. I’m the one who has to do the fighting and take the punches so I must be the main focus of everyone around me.’

He added: ‘I really enjoy my time living and working with Freddie in Los Angeles but I don’t know what the effect is on me of all the other travelling to be with him and Manny. Maybe from this point I should spend more time in England, in my comfort zone.’

 

‘I’ve been in this position before. It’s not losing that matters but how you come back. I have to go back to the drawing board and make the fresh start which I believe can bring me back stronger than ever.

‘I really enjoy my time living and working with Freddie in Los Angeles but I don’t know what the effect is on me of all the other travelling to be with him and Manny. Maybe from this point I should spend more time back in England, in my comfort zone.’

Khan hopes Garcia will be emboldened by his shock fourth round knock-out of Khan to offer a re-match in December, even though Danny’s provocative father Angel is discounting that possibility.

‘They may not want it if they realise they got lucky,’ says Khan. ‘But the return bout with me is by far the biggest money fight for them at light-welterweight.’ That assessment is confirmed by HBO executives, who still regard Khan’s exciting fights as must-see television and would love to set up the rematch before Christmas.

Either way he knows he must modify a style which, while it produces seat-edge thrillers like Saturday night at the Mandalay Bay, puts him in danger.
Having boxed Garcia silly and cut his right eye in the first two rounds, his appetite for battle led him onto that pivotal left hook, from which he never recovered before being stopped in the fourth.

Khan denies that he let his emotions lead him astray, even though he was angered by anti-****stan taunts from Garcia Snr: 'I didn't go in there hating them.'


But he does accept that he should have been patient and carried on out-classing Garcia instead of rushing for a quick KO himself. He also reasons that while his lightning attacking skills are the key to his market value, he needs to work more on his defence.
Khan is still young – as well as extremely gifted – so there is time for him to mature into a more controlled boxer. But the process has become more complicated now.

But he's never worked on his flaws that's the problem.

 

I wonder what Freddie was thinking in this pic?
