Everyone who knew their boxing also knew that Khan had a terrible glass jaw, everyone who saw the Peterson fight also knew that he had some pretty obvious flaws and that he would never establish himself as a consistent top fighter. It could also be seen in between his first and second defeat that he was being carefully matched and he was using spoiling tactics (like running for dear life and pushing) to survive.. Yet still his nuthuggers wanted to believe that his glass jaw all the sudden was "repaired", and that it was no longer a flaw, they wanted us to believe that this man could be one of the future top fighters, heck some even believed that he was the one to take Mayweather's 0 atsch Now after his 3rd defeat it should be pretty obvious that he has NO inside game and NO chin. Amere **** has been an arrogant hype job all the way :deal
He's got shaky whiskers for sure, but he aint getting blown out by anyone. He only gets rocked when he don't see the shot coming. And he aint no hype job. He still clowns 90 of 100 guys in his weight class. :deal
I think he's more glass brained than jawed. He has the talent to beat the guys he lost to, but he's too stupid to use it. Never lead with a hook. On a scale of 1-10 for me, glass jaw 7, glass brain 10, either way, its a bad combo for the prizefighting at a championship level.
hypejob? nah. hes not got the strongest chin, thats for sure. he's got enough talent in other departments to bounce back from this loss....not the end of the world....
This. Every time. The biggest problem that boy has is that his balls are about ten times bigger than his brain. He wants to fight and he likes being in a war, but the truth is he's not very good at it. If he danced about behind a decent jab he could have outpointed Garcia easily but that's just not his way. More's the pity. His biggest crime? Bigging himself up too much. Like that's a first in boxing history.
I don't think he has a glass jaw.But I do believe he doesn't have the pop in his punch to be overconfident.Trading blows with a heavy handed boxer and you're throwing pitty pat shots.This kid just didn't RESPECT the POWER of GARCIA and he paid dearly for it. WE KNOW WHO WILL COME OFF SECOND BEST IN THAT EXCHANGE,RIGHT?
I'm not a fan of his, but I think you are quite right. Boy wants to go to war when he has the skills to box an easy victory. He is a hothead of ****stani origin, it's something in the blood. My colleagues from there are of the same mind. He let the father/trainer of Garcia get to him and wanted to blast him outta there. Nice mind games from the Garcia camp. EDIT: A filter/censorship on the word ****stani?? **** that for a laugh, it's a nationality not a derogatory term.
I pretty much agree with this. It's frustrating to watch him lose like he did because I think he has the talent and skill to pitch a no hitter against guys like Maidana and probably Garcia. I could be wrong though.
