Cool. Know about Ward & Broner. Any pics or tweets of the rest?

 

Great comeback from Khan. TKO before round 11 was to begin.

 

3 months...

Patient.
Used the jab constantly... which he needs to do every fight
Kept that right hand up.. few occasions when he dropped it during offence

Turns out Molina is tough.. bb 330vcash

I think the main thing they were thinking about and trying to practice was ring movement.

All Khan would have to do is use that jab and stay away from Garcia to win a decision.

 

Still same old kahn, who will get knocked out against a credible fighter with decent power.

 

He does show signs of improvement, but he was still getting caught by those hooks.

On the positive side -- more use of the jab, the upper body movement is a bit better (especially when he bends to the side while throwing the jab), more patient and cautious, and a surprising ability to fight on the inside. The inside fighting is probably the most unexpected thing for me. Usually he just shells up or leans on his opponent, but here he was throwing shots while in the pocket, particularly uppercuts. At some points he was throwing double uppercuts before backing out again, and it worked quite well for him. I also liked that he was jabbing to the body.

Negatives -- still too aggressive, still throwing too many shots. Yes, combinations are nice, but Khan just does more than he needs to. He's still giving his opponent more chances to hit him, even when he's won the round. When he comes forward while punching he also seems to lean in too much, and he looks open to counters at that point. Still vulnerable to hooks while he's throwing, too. Also pulls back in straight lines with his head up sometimes, and Molina was able to lunge forward and land a shot or two like that.

On the whole, he does seem to have improved in some areas. He just still has a fair amount of work to do.

 

Think this fight was just part of a learning curve..

Needed to see how well Khan executes the things he is bieng taught...

Might have been working on something small for 3 months which he completely failed/couldn't use so now they can focus on it more...

Next fight? Think he should go for ajose olusegun

 

He did... the standard song...Mr.Capone-E

Don't look in too much detail when you watch the replay.. Khan did a few things which alot of boxing fans won't even pick up... Watch how he uses the ring diffently.

Finally using the jab constantly...

 

you predicted molina to beat him and you quit watching after the 1st round?

 

Prince, thanks for the nonstop coverage of this fight! Hope you do it for the next fight as well! :good
