Rewatching Khan getting KO'd

i always give credit to fighters who stand up after getting KD. its not easy to stand-back up after getting rocked.

 

yeah very few lightweights would be able to take them shots infact not many welters could

 

If he'd never shown a weakness before, fair enough, you could say he got caught cold

But we all knew he was chinny and he got laid out

I'm from his neck of the woods, roughly, and I'd love to see him succeed, but there's no sense denying he can't take a shot


He's always in exciting fights though - that can't be denied

 

He did show a lot of heart and effort to try and fight on - but the body just wasn't willing. Sure he may never be anything great with that chin, but his fights are fairly exiting so worth a look. I really can't understand the constant extreme dislike of the guy. I could understand why people would want him to get knocked out the first time... but that's been done now...

 

partly is his fault, do you not remember his ridiculous predictions of winning a world title by beating naz's record and to become a 3 weight world champ

he says he will come back stronger and better mow so perhaps he is gonna conquer 4 weight divisions

 

I have been saying this for a long time, any one in the LW division or even LWW would of got K.Oed from them shots if they hit thm flush on the chin like Khan with the chin in the air. Them shots were like wild swings, and Khan poor defence could do nothing about them. We know Khan has got a weak chin, but them shots would be too much for most LW fighters if landed on the money early.

A smart fighter would have checked Prescott out for a 1 or 2 rounds, but Khan's ego and hype would not let him take the back foot to do this. Hope that defeat has made him understand this flaw.

 

What shots are we talking about here? the initial Jab that wobbled him?

Its a bit disrespectful to other fighters to say they would have been KO'd by those shots when in fact Khan went down due to a weak chin. Are they all weak chinned?

 

I think he has a grade A china chin, but also a good level of recovery.

People can get away with either a leaky defence OR a dodgy chin, but not both.

Given that you can't put muscles on chins, the defence needs serious attention.

 

I hear this time and time again, and it is still bull****. If Khan had been wobbled by a jab then someone needs to be calling for an ambulance as the guy has severe neurological problems and he has no place in a ring.

And yes, those shots looked like they would have flattened a large number of lightweights...why is that disrespectful?

 

Then why dont you actually watch the fight. You do know the difference between a hook and a jab dont you?

 

he was wobbled by the jab:deal

 

Well, he needs to be in hospital then :-(

 

It wasn't a jab in the truest sense though, it was almost a straight left.
