Berto vs Khan (if Khan moves up soon)

Berto whips that ass in the late rounds Khan not strong enough for Berto Khan would get some good shots off early but Berto comes in the ring after weigh in at 160 I think his size and his speed and power would give Khan fits.

 

Berto loses cuz hes not particulary good and Khan is.

 

When Khan moves up he will be a natural 147 fighter, hell Khan will come in near 160 himself, and if Khan's power improve's at 147, Berto will get his ass beaten up all night.

 

We know how good Berto is at 147, but there are questions about how Khan will be at 147.

Will Khan's power improve? I think Yes

Will his speed slow down too much? I think No

Will his chin further improve like it did from 135-140 now to 147? I think Yes

 

Gotta love how everything randomly swayes in Khans favor of moving up, in your eyes.

 

Khan's body is ready for the move up, he is tight now at 140, so moving up should improve him all round.

They wont put too much weight on his upper half, they will add more weight/muscle to his still skinny legs which should improve his power and keep his handspeed, and help him take a better shot, plus at 147 he will be better hydrated as he is now draining a bit at 140.

 

You can't improve a chin in boxing you either can take a good shot or you can't the only thing that can improve on a fighter who can't take a good shot is defense like Khan has with Roach.

 

Dude ever heard a fighter being weight drained?

Khan gets KOed and knocked down a number of times by no bodies at 135, yet at the higher weight of 140 Khan is yet to even be KD and has been in with Maidana and Judah who have high KO ratio's?

 

Yeah you can. Just look at Khan moving up to 140. Stronger legs, more hydration etc = better chin.

 

Tis true. Willie limond FFS had him down for a 13 count.

 

And this trend will carry on for Khan at 147, i cant wait Khan is going to shock alot of people, i think we will see the best of Khan at 147.

 

dont know if khan has the power to keep berta off of him

 

Disagree completely, correct conditioning, improved mentality and not putting the body through unnecessary stress to make weight can all improve punch resistance.
