    Very good against southpaws, but not so much against orthodox. He's so open for left hooks and right hands.

    Put him in with any of the good orthodox punches at 140/147 and watch him get his chin shattered.

    He can't beat guys like Thurman, Brook, Porter, Garcia, Matthysse, Provo. It will end with him getting knocked out.

    He is unable to defend against the left hook and/or right hand...

    The left hook in particular is his kryptonite. Thats what Presscott, Garcia, Diaz, etc....all used to knock him down or out. And yea he was open crazy for that overhand right.

    Provodnikov would knock him the **** out, those are his 2 best punches.

    He "won" on the scorecards. The fight was close and could have gone either way.

    He looked like **** and got rocked a number of times by a feather-fisted fighter.

    Khan punch resistance is gone, and its not like it ever was great.
    Getting KTFO will do that to you.
