After the left hand knockdown, Khan stumbled back to his corner and he SEEMED completely fine. He nodded to Freddie that he was okay and answered with little trouble. Compare that to Soto who was out of it, had to walk very slowly, and could barely talk. Freddie Roach TOLD his ass to clinch, so why didn't he? Khan blaming Roach is just a bad excuse.
He was done after the kd. He tried to run at first, but his legs were gone. No choice but to slug it out.
After round 3, it was apparent that there was no chance that Khan would make it into the last third of the fight. He showed heart getting up and fighting on. The reality is that the only blame he could possibly lay on Freddie Roach as far as during the fight goes was not stopping the fight between rounds 3 and 4. I laugh at people who would pick Khan in a rematch. They're the same ones who claimed he was a future P4P mainstay.
"seemed fine" Bull**** he was out of it He was in fight to survive mode (which clearly Khan can't control himself to clinch for a round) His new S&C coach Mr.Tabares didn't even throw water on his face to try and snap him out of it. He could have continued on and even won... But 1. His corner didn't react well 2. He doesn't know how to fight if hurt Khan doesn't have the composure to fight safely when hurt And when he is hurt he can fight back... but it's in the dangerous zone where the guy with power and a chin will always win. Watch Tabares work the Corner when Khan is flapping all over the shop. Just wipes a towel on his head.. lol. Ariza new what to do... Bet he cries at night wishing Khan could accept have split attention If you feel you need to have the attention 100percent on you to be successful then maybe your not the fighter you like to believe you are? And when you at least have 100percent of the attention of your new Conditioning coach yet get KTFO then something is wrong. Roach knows Khan doesn't have killer power and great chin to be one of the best like Pacquiao
He wasn't fine. He even said so himself that he doesn't remember what Roach was telling him. He was out of it. And enough of this bull**** about him blaming Roach. He isn't. And never has. Him wanting to find a new trainer is because he wants to improve. That's not excuse-making, you ******s.
Roach has clearly tried in the past with fighters trying to make that extra difference But he has come to the reaslisation that no matter how much work you as a trainer put in it's down to the fighters and you cannot change the weaknesses of a fighter "I feel more powerfull and i'm hitting harder" - lmao yeah right sunshine Roach trains the fighter and gives them the right gameplan Sadly some fighters don't want to follow it *cough* Khan "under Freddie Roach ive become a new fighter" - no you've latched onto his gameplans and listened to his advice (sadly that started to fade)
Every time this idiots crystal cheen has been obliterated he has fired a trainer ROFL Cant weigh till he goes to 47 he can then get his marshmellow cheen dissolved in a 3rd weight category
