Khans improvements and flaws

that said roach did say khan made mistakes in that fight, things to be ironed out

 

ok, so Khan is not Floyd Mayweather, get over it

 

Yeah there were some flaws on the night, but I feel he made more improvements. I guess 2/3 more fights to iron out the flaws and perfect his game, then if he is looking good and has not been KOed and lost, a title shot can be made.

 

People have to remember Khan is only 22. So he have plenty of time...

There is no rush.

 

Its like they dont expect him to get hit, all boxers do, mistakes are made every fight. Also i dont think he was even hurt like people are saying. But he did what he needed too. Probably still get KO'ed down the line.

 

Thats what I am saying, Khan may never have the reaction time of FM blocking/ducking/slipping/using shoulder the defence master, but he does have faster feet, and faster hands IMO. FM can stand or side step and defend himself, Khan can back pedal or move away fast with his fast feet. It will take I think 3 more fights to near perfect Khan's new style hit and not be hit in and out fast using hand speed.

 

You can't properly gauge these things without context and perspective.

You only gain that through being directly threatened by a top opponent at lightweight, or better yet, fighting your old nemesis. Then you can really start to see any improvements or otherwise as the base for comparison is there.

 

Very subtle way to make your point.

 

improvements were plain to see, what i will do is analyse those improvements into potential problems for khan

his biggest impovement imo was he was landing his shots then getting the **** out of there, he wasnt planting his feet in order to move out of range as quickly as possible before the counter comes back , they had worked on this for one main reason that his defence was terrible and still is in some areas so to use quick foot speed and getting out of range directly after landing a combo was obviously a great plan

however had there been a legit 135 fighter in there those punches were so pitty pat that a top lw could cover up take the punches on the gloves and counter with power shots as their balance wouldnt have been affected from the speed shots amir was throwing

im obviously still worried about his chin, i wish amir wasnt such a nob as he is exciting and i liked him in the olympics which was before i realised he was a dumb ****

 

He was wobbled. Fortunately Barrera was operating with one eye so it's very hard to tell how much Khan has improved or how much Barrera has in the tank.

 

Pre prescott Khan would have beaten Barrera exactly the same way. The only evidence of change so far has been Khans body shape. He was slightly more disciplined in his approach - but that tends to happen once you've been laid out. I think that he will have a very protected career gong forward. It will be interesting to see how Warren deals with the PPV-protective match making equation. An awful lot of thought will have to go into his matchmaking.

 

Khan is constantly improving which is amazing considering he is almost perfect. He reminds me of the Kurt Russel character in 'Soldier'. He is just an unbeatable fighting machine with no real flaws.
