Roach: Sparring with Pacman is a bit overwhelming for Amir Khan

“Khan looks sharp in the early rounds,” Roach commented. “He really comes out strong but I think sparring with Manny might be a bit overwhelming for him and he seems to peak very early with a lot of excited energy. After a few rounds Manny starts to really catch up with him. It’s good work for both of them and it’s sure great to watch!”

Fixed

 

there needs to b sum vids uploaded on youtube of this sparring. has pac man droped khan in the gym any info? anybody:bbb

 

Froch looks in amazing condition in that photo, pacman has to catch up with khan, i dont believe this

 

This sparring is beneficial for Pac considering that Kha is a tall fighter at 5'11" w/ fast hands. Pac will KO dela Hoya w/ his power and speed. :good

 

this statement by Roach falls in the "no ****" category.

 

Dapridran,

If you would recall a few weeks before the Pac VS Morales I, Pac was all over the NEWS that PAC is this PAC is that. All the hype was there
and suprisingly Morales was very tight lip and silent about his training..

Basically, same thing is happening right now. All the hype that Pac is doing well, Pac is in excellent shape etc...

In the end it was ALL HYPE but BAD RESULTS, Pac had a good fight but NOT enough to get a "W".

I really HOPE this is not the same story.

If I'm Roach I prefer that DLH would likewise wonder what's going on on the training camp. News blackout. Instead of PUBLICITY. Let your opponent do the guessing on the progress of Pac's training..

 

It's a psy-war thing.
I don't think this is necessary if its purpose is to hype up the fight. The less said about Pac's training, the better.

 

Totally agree! It's like playing cards.

Currently, DLH knows ALL the cards of PAC. While PAC has NO idea
what are the cards of DLH

 

There must be some Oscar spies planted in Pac's camp. One is a dentist moonlighting as a sports journalist/photographer/mouthguard trader. This is the guy who posted a photo of Roach practicing Pac to go for Oscar's body.

 

Very Funny! or trying to be Funny!?!

Anyway, we are on the same boat and we don't have to argue.

I just believe you have to keep some stuff to your camp instead of telling everybody.. Hey guys! we are doin great! We had sparring with xyz boxer and damn he really was in trouble!

All the Hype and publicity is no longer needed at this stage. All tickets are already sold if not mistaken. Let the promoters do their job and pac should just concentrate on his training without telling everybody what's goin on.

Bottom line, you and I want PAC to win! It's a DAMN uphill climb to beat DLH!

He has a HEART of a CHAMPION! I hope he is physically and mentally ready on Dec 6.

If he wins he will be another LEVEL higher in their group of fab four

 

Amir Khan will be telling Ricky Hatton what is going on - who will in turn tell DLH.

 

sounds like an episode of hollyoaks. or something.

 

He will tell Ricky Pac's gonna win... http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/sports_blog/2008/11/amir-khan-spars.html
