    I liked how he looked. He just needs to place his punches more. He's still Amir Khan at heart

    Really? There's nothing to be impressed or unimpressed by. No answers were given tonight.

    I think there was some evidence of Hunter's impact on Khan. He seemed more composed and patient at times, although he also still exhibited some glaring weaknesses.

    But when Wlad and Lennox first teamed up with Emanuel, neither of them perfected his lessons in a single fight.

    It takes time.

    I don't know what some people expected to see. khan's performance was neither impressive or unimpressive we will see in his next fights how much/if he is improving

    He fought a blown up lightweight who really stopped punching after the 4th round. You could see him think about the gameplan in the most unnatural way like "punch punch punch...momentary pause to remember that virgil said to pause and keep hands up then walk away" then he does it if that makes any sense. its just not natural feels like its being forced and hes showing his tell.

    I liked how he dealt with Molina on the inside, especially those uppercuts.

    Im just saying if this was a confidence builder, After the celebration of the win ends the reality of the win brings more doubt than ever.

    i think that mauro said it best.....It was a stay of execution.

    though I have to say khan now has some clue of what to do inside. That's it.
