too be honest, i didnt really learn much new from khans last fight, i thought he had a poor chin after the limond fight and i still think it, too be honest the shots khan took on saturday, could well of knocked out most lightweights.They were big shots and khan had no chance it was his own fault for walking in straight lines
Where has Amsterdam gone? Not seen him for a while. I would have expected to come out after the Khan fight.
Khans chin isnt as bad as some make out,although he cant hold a punch very well,ive never once seen him brush a clean shot off,ant clean punch that lands seems to have him in some sort of trouble,but at least he hasnt been banged unconscious.
if you asked anyone back in 2007 that khan would full blown shots from maidana,judah and peterson people would have just laughed at you, his chin has improved phenomenally, i honestly believed kotelnik and berrara would stop him.
I thought both of those fights were easy to call. WhamBam thank you ma'am, money in the bank (no hindsight job).
Amsterdam must be credited with questioning Khans chin even before the Limond incident, I don't buy into this "chinchecker science" ****, but he said Khan had a bad chin, people said "wtf makes you think that?" he said "there's a science to it, trust me, he's chinny" only THEN Khan almost got blitzed by Limmond...then there was Gomez...then there was Prescott. Yeah Khans chin has improved immensely, but Amsterdam got it bang on the money back then and barely ANYBODY believed him as for not being banged unconscious..he may as well have been against prescott, that was practically as unconscious as it gets without being asleep.
Also, there was the fact Frank never put him near a puncher until Prescott and there were lots of stories of him getting wobbled in sparring.
