    He is a totally different shape for one.
    Massive up top no legs, at his best they took it the other way round.

    Disagree, but he is shot. Diaz won the war, time for Khan to call it a day. He listened well at times to Virgil.

    Where has his handspeed gone. His major asset has diminished under hunter

    I was thinking the same,the speed has gone and the power has gone.

    This wasn`t a big puncher at 140 he was fighting looks like he has gone backwards under Virgil.

    Not the style so much as the conditioning. At his best roach had his legs big and his upper body lithe and fast, tonight was the complete opposite. He looked slower and less mobile.

    Just got decision.Garcia IS a good fighter,but I think Amirs had too many hard ones now.Have seen fighters deteriorate even at his young age.Doesnt want to go near Garcia,Mattyse or Peterson.I think any of them would knock him out now.Trying to referee the fight didn't look good either.Being interviewed now,I think he's Kidding himself.
