It's not only his defence. It's his ring IQ. Look he knows from round one Garcia is punching with him and trading shots. When someone is punching with him and he has the speed, he needs to disrupt the others guys timing. He needs to make adjustments by seeing what the other guy is doing. Throw a few feints in there, make the other guy miss and make him pay. What he was doing is just shoe shining rinse and repeat until one of those wide hooks caught up with him. Shot Morales was mocking those hooks and was only caught in his fight because his body gave up.
Brook: I know we aren't each others biggest fans but I never like to see a fellow Brit lose. I'm sure we will meet someday but for now hope Amir is ok
Why do people mention Brook in the same breath as Khan? Brook went life and death with CARSON JONES for god sake! And his coming out fight was against MATTHEW HATTON! Khan is levels above Kell at this moment in time.
Is he really? He's lost his last two fights, against guys he was the favourite over. Khan's had too many people blowing smoke up his arse, and he seems to be turning into Naz v2.0. He needs to realise Roach isn't working out as his trainer. Khan would benefit from Manny Steward, methinks. He likes tall guys with a good jab and no chin. Right now Khan should come back down to Earth, stop talking about Mayweather and focus 100% on the task IMMEDIATELY ahead of him.
He became predictable, Garcia judged his timing off Khan's footwork that's why he looked down then through, so he could see where khans lead foot was and time the left hook as Khan opened up
I loved that. The fact that Morales even now can take the **** like that puts Khan getting done by the same punch into perspective. Roach surely has done all he can. Would love to see Khan based back in Britain, just maybe not with Gallagher full time, imagine Amir with that style. :shock:
Khan has had his 15 minutes of fame in the US.Time to take Amir back to the UK and be a big fish in a small pond.
Money talks, world titles mean nothing these days. Fight the fighters not the titles. Haye vs Chisora was a none title fight, and the biggest fight outside of Cotto vs Mayweather this year, and by far the biggest domestic fight.

Im not sure why people are having a pop at Carson Jones, he was really good against Brook. Who is to say Garcia would not really struggle if he next fought Carson Jones at 147 . Im still not sold on Garcia, If Khan just used his skills and boxed Garcia then he would probably have won by a wide UD ... but no, Khan would rather try and look great and show what a macho man he is by trading early with a puncher ..... and look where it gets him !
