i never see Khan on the heavy bag regularly train sitting down on his punches more i see manny use it regulalrly theres no emphasis on khan using the heavy bag to perfect his combinations and sit down on his shots more Pacquaio, Tyson, Mayweather all emphasised the use of the heavy bag. The heavy bag is key to utilizing/maximizing khans power and technique.
He needs very heavy bags like the ones Mayweather has and this pitty patt **** will disappear and he will apply his body more effectively.
He can hit just and awkward opponent tonight, another smart move by team Khan. He looked worse against Malignaggi IMO
Even more an issue than his power was his accuracy and shot placement, timing. TERRIBLE. He flurries a lot but go all over the place, he reaches and loses balance, Paul was way too slow in countering, but Khan really does need to improve as right now he's all over the place. He's got a good base, a nice jab, is learning to use body shots to good effect saw a couple go in against McCloskey. He should slow his **** the **** down a little. Take a bit of speed off his punches, plant his feet more and put a little more sting into it. He really needs to clean up his technique, very verry sloppy.
As a Khan fan, it is disappointing to see him make the same mistakes he made against Maidana. I'm hoping he did it purposely to make Bradley take the unification fight easy x( Let's see Khan/Morales, winner fights Bradley.
i think people need to give bit of credit to mckloskeys defence and general awkardness,and greater toughness than expected. but,khan can do better with less flurrying and more sitting down,picking shots,and landing harder sharper combinations but less punches in these combinations. Maybe the opponent,the event,the distractions and any other things like ovetravelling or illness cuased khan to be not quite as good as past few fights.but best for him tor him to make mistakes now and learn from them(i hope) than make them later on.
are you in the gym with him the 8 hours a day hes training? or does your super keen observation come from the clips you see on tv while eating chips?
I agree. He needs to remain more patient, and not let the crowd excite him. His over-reaching is really annoying me now. He's not showing signs of rectifying the problem.
