Did anyone else see the footage before the fight with St.Clair? It was of Amir during one of strength training sessions. I must say, the exercises he was doing, particularly the use of the kettle bell, seemed to have developed him physcially, improved muscle definition & aenahnced his strength. I know Amir stated a lot of the credit has to go to his strength/conditioning coach, but I cannot remember the name he said? All I know is, it's the same person who works with the Bolton Wanderers first team! Has anyone got any more info on Khan's strength training, exercises he does, etc, etc. Much appreciated indeed! :good
I cant remember his name If he plans on staying at LW it might do him more harm than good. It can certainly help him with his lateral movement etc but may cause him to punch himself out during fights in the long run. I thought he was looking a little gaunt at the weigh in.
If he is as chinny as people say, this might help him. The stronger he is, particularly in his legs, the better he'll be at taking shots.
i saw the training. Amir seems to be growing physically everytime i see him. but speed is more of a key then power at LW. maybe he should be thinking of moving up a weight if he continues to gain muscle
His speed looks amazing against slow opponents but it will be interseting how fast he looks against the elite.
Aparently agaisnt Limmond he struggled to make weight but made changhes to training and is now getting down comfortably! However he is 21 and will naturarlly grow over the next 3 years so will have to move up eventaully! Didnt he start at super feather!
Agree 90% of his punches were arm punches he didn't put anything into a lot of his shots. He is not a physical fighter at all so really the weights are pretty pointless until he develops his inside game.
The motion in which he was lifting the kettle thing seemed to have little relevance to boxing, especialy a fighter like Khan who most certainly isn't one likely to hooks and uppercuts from a crouching position. It most likely had aminute negaive effect.
