Khan showed improvements, but he sorts of needs to be more offensively

    Khan's problem is he stops and plants his feet when he throws ..It makes him easy to time ..When Khan is on the move he's brilliant.And he also neees to keep his guard up when hes not throwing..He gets a little lazy thats why he constantly gets caught ..

    Definitely, in a sense he went too much the other way. He needs to find the balance he had against Paulie and Judah; not reckless but offensive in meaningful spurts after establishing the jab. Virgil was asking him for combinations. It deters opponents. Your offense is your defense in many respects, and a fighter with Khan's talent shouldn't sacrifice that for movement and a better guard, he doesn't need to, he can have both. Just know when to use one and not the other.
