Khan - Katsidis

Did you watch from rounds 6 onwards yesterday, The accuracy was ridiculous, Malignaggi's head was rocking all over the place. His Jab is the best i've seen in a long time from a british fighter, and a million times better than Juan Diaz's, and with his bluystery style, he'd make KAtsidis look like what he is, a B level fighter at best.

 

Yes it was good accuracy from round six onwards, which was the same point where Paulie, as well as having his hands around his waist, stopped moving his head and ducking and weaving which he had been doing in first two or three rounds. Don't get me wrong, the accuracy seems improved, but I don't think its yet time to slot Khan into the Mayweather-radar-guided-punch bracket.

 

Lennox Lewis's jab? Certainly better than Khan's.

"B level fighter at best" Wtf is this ****? What's so bad about being a B level fighter? Khan certainly didn't look like an elite fighter last night. He seemed a solid, world-class fighter but not a future top p4p fighter IMO.

Khan's accuracy and power isn't great. Did you see the stoppage from an other angle? Half the punches weren't even landing cleanly. Khan's got a brilliant jab but he needs to develop other areas of his game, like his straight right and uppercuts, to really be a force at the very top level.

 

There's nothing wrong with being a B level Fighter, but its not good enough when ur up againt a guy who's got Freddie Roach in his corner, and looks a million bucks. Sure in the last Flurry, not many punches landed, but that was more for Steve Smoger stifling Khans backswings as he went in for the stoppage, than Khan missing outright. Watch rounds 6-11, Khans jabs and crosses rarely missed, and agaisnt a guy with a love of coming onto punches, its gonna be a huge problem.
Lennox had a great jab, but wasnt really a weapon. Plus for the sake of argument, he's Canadian, just ask the Daily Mail and Sun reporters who covered his fights.

 

Thats true mate, he's nowhere near that level at the moment, or ever will be, if as he says he's gonna fight the likes of Maidana/Alexander/Bradley in his next fights, then that'l put some serious miles on his clock, and i can see the rest of his career petering out.
But u dont need Mayweather talent to beat Katsidis, especially when he has a love of walking onto big stuff, and with his lack of head movement, Khan will have a field day.

 

Lennox is British :bart

And his jab wasn't a weapon?! :nut

Everything came behind the jab for Lennox. He won the Tua fight with his jab alone, in most of his other fights he set up all his power punches with the jab. Only in the Bruno fight do I remember him being outjabbed but apart from the that his jab was the key punch, definitely after he was being trained by Manny Steward.

Khan's jab was landing but the right hand was a bit hit and miss, a few just grazed Paulie whereas some landed flush when Paulie stopped moving his head. Seriously, if Khan develops his right hand he will be really dangerous.

 

Gotta agree regarding Lennox. I would say the jab was his primary weapon; he worked everything off that, and it was a concussive blow just by itself.

 

khan landed around 30% of his power punches, thats high.

 

Khan>>>>Malignaggi>>>>Diaz>>>>Katisidis

 

Khan's good when he can control the range and pace of the fight. He isn't ready for the type of intensity that Katsidis brings yet. Khan still has bad habits, and he resorts to type at certain times. He still lunges in from time to time, he still flurries and subsequently falls off balance. He could get away with it with Malignaggi due to his lack of power, but one punch from Katsidis and its over. Katsidis would jump on Khan from the first bell, and would stick to Khan like **** to a blanket. Khan would get dragged in to a brawl and resort to the old Khan. Remember, everyone has a plan until they get hit.

 

Khan would beat Kads as long as he doesn't slug it.

 

Exactly. Still can't understand why Mitchell would want to fight the way that suits Katsidis the most.

 

Nope! Maybe thats why he moved up to LWW, rather than fight guys like Katsiedis, Funeka and Soto.

Judging by his performance last night, i d say Khan should stay away from Marquez, Alexander, Bradley and Katsiedis.

 

Khan looked good yesterday, Paulie was spoiling, and very awkward, so Khan was never going to look great.

 

Well he did say best jab he had seen in a long time, I'm sure he wasn't discounting Lewis's jab.
