Khan 'In a way I didn't want to fight Marcos Maidana but I was trapped in a corner'

The guy's an idiot. But hilarious at the same time.

 

I agree with you mate, He won so the Maidana fight wasn't to early but your right far to much confidence. He seemed more worried about his chin then anything else.

 

Khan had already delayed the fight for 14 months, had he decided to fight him late 2009, he would more than likely lost. Khan made the right choict to fight a year later and won a great fight.

 

Khan's lost confidence for the first time in his career, he always thought he was great, and any loss was a fluke. He thought he could wing it and fight any way he chose. Now he is worried, it's why he wants to change trainers, he wants to learn serious defence and proper boxing skills not just attack. He is doubting himself, it will take a lot to come back from this. A change of trainer will be a start. He is not as good as he though he was, he though he would blitz Garcia, but it didn't happen.

 

Khans gonna get knocked out again , the kid is pure 100% delusional , he keeps saying post Garcia , " it was a bomb " , " everyone gets caught " , " the shot that Garcia hit me with would of put anyone to sleep " , " my balls are too big for my own good "

Absolute ****ing complete and utter nonsense !!! , Khan needs to learn some fundamentals he seems to have forgotten , Garcia is " not a puncher " and he was made to look like a puncher against Khan , because Khan has no chin , and no defence , oh and did i mention that Khan believes he is already going into the IBHOF for what he's achieved

I bash Khan now and then (this post clear evidence of that) because he is detached from reality and would be such a better fighter if he could get past the blind love for himself he has !!! , he's young immature and deluded , and he will be KO'd again within a year , absolutely no doubt

 

I don't quite see how them comments are 'complete and utter nonsense'. Garcia is a puncher. He has a beast in his left hand if he lands it right.

Khan actually took some rights and lefts from Garcia well after that - well, the ones he saw. The one he got clocked with was out of his sight and remember 'the ones you don't see are the one's that hurt you'.

Your posts are just too non-sensical dude.

 

:deal

Bang on, whether he wanted to fight him or not, he got in the ring and beat him. It's a good thing that fighters are backed into a corner, that's the way it should be. Otherwise most of them will be taking the easy route depriving us fans of great fights and Khan v Maidana was a cracking scrap.

 

Garcia isn't a puncher? Garcia has a rocket left hook! The guy hits hard. The first time i saw him on an undercard a couple years back i could see he hits like a brute.

 

That hook lands an inch here or there Khan is making arrangements for Mayweather. Lucky punch. Khan needs to stop over analysing.

 

:roll: He was throwing it regularly and just missing. It is not lucky, because he said they expected Khan to be quick and aggressive early, and he was throwing the left hook counter to catch Khan open.

It missed by an inch "here or there" a couple of times and then it landed. If it had missed again, it may well have landed a few minutes later or in another round.

 

Khan will get knocked out again should he and Garcia fight again. He seems to be trying to convince himself that Garcia got lucky when the truth of the matter is that Garcia, his team and father had Khan worked out. They knew Danny's timing would counter Khan's speed. The die was cast in round 2 when Danny started getting closer. There was no dispute he got clocked properly.

 

Lazarus , i expected nothing less from you !! , Khan was knocked out because of lack of preparation and technical defensive flaws , not because he was caught with a big shot that would of put anybody to sleep

Evaluate the fight , Khan had 5 or 6 counter left hooks whistle past his beard before he was caught flush , the fact he didnt see it , as you put it , is because he was making basic errors a pro at his level should not be making , errors that before the Lamont Peterson fight seemed to be well behind Khan

Yes Garcia has a good left hand , and he's not feather fisted , but i certainly would not have him down as a " puncher "

He hits hard when given the chance to land flush yes , as any decent fighter should !! , an opportunity arrises you try and take it , Khan is talking like he's just been in with a young Mike Tyson , this is a kid who couldn't get rid of Ashley Theopane just 2 years ago , if your gonna stay in harms way after you throw a combo with a counter / same time puncher like Danny Garcia the very least you can do is roll out of a combo or push off on an angle , Khan was doing neither , he was always going to get tagged with the shot that effectively finished the fight , and he shouldn't of been , he's better than that

 

Who has got rid of Theopane? Just because someone is not top level does not mean that an aspect of their game is not, whether power or chin etc. Pat Barrett was not world class, but his power certainly was. Wharton was not world class but his chin was.

Theopane has never been stopped, so it's a bit meaningless to say that Garcia couldn't get him out of there, because until someone does, it could be that Theopane has a granite chin.

 

It's not like he was aiming for that very specific spot on the neck, especially as he was looking at the ground at the time. The placement was luck. And even if Amir was throwing an overhand instead of an uppercut, or possibly even if he had his guard up that looping hook may well have still found its way onto the neck, since it was nearer the back than the front of the neck.
As you said, he threw, and caught Amir before that a couple of times. Flush on the chin, didn't seem to phase Amir at all.

Of course countering was Danny's strategy but his timing wasn't good, see how many he missed, he just got lucky.

 

He's just trying to explain how he might be able to get a rematch with Garcia. Used himself as an example of how, when holding a title, you sometimes have little choice in accepting who you take on if you want to keep your belt.
