    I actually currently have 6k (incl. liquid assets) but have already placed some bets on this weekend's action.

    Most of that came from Erislandy Lara, plus Akira Yaegashi (who somehow ended up the underdog, to my pleasant surprise) and from Rigondeaux vs. Agbeko with the Over 9.5 rounds prop. :good

    He tends to just stand there with his arms up when being attacked rather than try move out the way has a nasty habit of backing up to the ropes and just standing still.

    Too many to list

    Even his attacking footwork is haphazard at best

    Glaring mistake , well I wouldn't call it mistake since he doesn't have any of it, is defense.

    Learning none was a mistake.

    No inside game, poor footwork and no head movement.

    On top of a glass jaw, Khan has done well to even get this far.

    I've seen it called excellent. :lol:


    ...and by people other than Amir "I have the best chin in boxing" Khan himself, no less. (unless he signed up a bunch of alts on here...which pathetic gesture somehow as much as it disturbed me wouldn't surprise me...)

    His biggest mistake is that he doesn't learn from his previous mistakes. He threw the same left then right uppercut against Garcia that got him ko'd vs prescott previously.

    -No concept of strategy, just a speed-robot like Dawson/Alexander.
    -Zero defense (gets out of the way or stands there with his hands glued to his face. Not really any counterpunching, parrying, etc.)
    -Poor footwork (too much pointless movement, no sense of purpose to his ring placement).
    -Punches with both hands at the same time.
    -No head movement.
    -No cheen.

    Is so scared on the inside just throws wild bombs without any clue what's going on

    Can only fight in straights range and nothing else

    Needs to clinch when tagged

    Needs to slip and counter

    Mistake no 1.

    He steps into the ring




    ..in all seriousness though, He is a very good athlete, but I dont think hes built for boxing. Could have excelled in another sport

    good thread. Ill second the punching with both hands mistake. Seems his glove never comes back to his cheek after combinations.
