listening to khan's latest interview he talks sense... saying he is not expecting to go out there and blow collazo away... he is going to box for 12 rounds and if he gets hit he will not get into a war.. remains to be seen if he actually does that...says you will see how big he is at 147... a lot to look forward to on sat
Just watched the first half of the collazo v Ortiz fight I think khan is going to struggle with collazo's southpaw stance and falling in on him when trying to get his shots off. Hope I'm wrong I want to see khan win and do it impressively.
spot on exactly my thoughts.A big sign for me that he was weight drained at 140 was when knocked down against diaz at 142 i believe there was no funny dance and had a clear head.Exactly the same if remember correctly when stepped upto 140 against maidana managed to take some huge shots. Therfore im guessing will be much stronger at 147 and collazo has been down few times to body shots.
Khan is getting stopped. He has been out for too long and doesn't have the hunger of an elite fighter. He'll win the first 3-4 rounds due to his speed but will get clipped and we all know what happens then. Khan was struggling to take shots at 135 and 140, he'll feel them even more at 147.
as i have said before khans chin is not what bothers me it is his lack of power at the top level and i dont mean ko ing everyone but he doesnt seem to hit hard enough to keep the top fighters off him they walk through his shots
I've really lost my belief in Khan, I don't think he can be trusted to maintain full concentration for the 12 rounds. Khan to be hurt and TKO'd rounds 4-6.
Are you balaclava man? :rofl Tough fight for Khan he's going to feel straight away the strength and power difference of the guys at welter if he boxes smart he might just pull it off if he doesn't then it's lights out.
That's exactly why he's getting spoon fed on this one. Not too much difference in the rest of his career.
I know he's moved up a weight but is it just me or is khan looking a load bigger than when he was making 140? Maybe he has been draining himself getting down to 140.
Khan needs to keep his footwork going, otherwise he will find himself on the ropes where he is easy to tag. Khan should win if he boxes smart, yet he is prone to the red mist and putting his chin is harms way to show he can take a shot.
