Terence Crawford vs Amir Khan - Why Khan Can't Win - Fight Breakdown

I agree Khan cannot win this fight and he knows it. He prefers to lose to Bud instead of to Brook.

 

Crawford should win, but for the above I think algeiri height just trouble Khan.

 

Lads it's Khan.

 

You should try coming up w/ original content sometimes... All you do is post YouTube videos.

 

In an era where every single close decision gets called a robbery, the idea that Khan can't win is hilarious to me. Now I'm not gonna boldy predict that Khan will win, but this is boxing, anything can happen. Khan surely can win, mainly if he can stay out of trouble. I mean most fans picking Crawford expect Crawford to knock Khan out, right ? But if that knockout never comes, if Crawford can't hurt Khan, then I think pretty much everybody would expect a very close probably controversial decision.

I watched this video and the Chris Algieri footage was shown to show Khan's flaws. First of all, that was 4 years ago, I think Khan has improved as a fighter alot since then and I believe the time off has preserved him. And as the broadcaster pointed out, Algieri is a very underrated fighter, he gave Khan alot of head and upper body movement, feints, he's a difficult fighter and did have some success against Khan. But Crawford doesn't utilize the amount of herky jerky motion that Algieri did, which confused Khan. Crawford does use head and upper body movement but it's smoother and more reactive to what his opponent is doing, vs Algieri which was just a lot of nervous motion. What makes Crawford more difficult than Algieri besides his high level ring IQ is also he has a longer reach than Algieri or Khan.

Bud has a significant reach advantage over Khan, and though Bud is a better inside fighter than Khan, he doesn't need to get inside to beat Khan. He doesn't need to land body shots on Khan to beat Khan either. Bud can win this fight from the outside, and that's what we can expect from Bud which is to use the jab from the outside while coming forward trying to walk Khan down, to keep Khan at range, to prevent him from getting in and out, to try and catch him with that jab before Khan can do that. So I'd expect Bud to just do his usual thing, stay upright and range find Khan with the jab and try to set up Khan for the straight left hand. Khan will really need to move to his left for pretty much the entire fight to try and get around Bud's jab and at the same time avoid Bud's straight left when he tries to come in. The best place for Khan to come forward on Bud is while moving left after Bud throw the jab. If Khan tries to move to his right he's moving right into Crawford's wheelhouse which could be a big mistake. If Khan can use consistent leftward lateral motion, and wait for opportunities get around Bud's jab he can get inside that way then get out by ducking or moving to his left. I think that's his best strategy in the early rounds, constant leftward motion, get around the jab, get to Bud that way. Then if he can get Bud worried about the leftward motion, Bud makes that adjustment to move himself to the right expecting more leftward motion from Khan, then Khan may be able to stop briefly and surprise Bud with a straight right hand.

 

Bud will win by tko about 8th rd

 

People are going to make a huge deal (this board will be en fuego) when Khan is winning 3-4 of the first 6 rounds.

Thought Crawford struggled with Benavidez's jab when he threw it.

Khan's jab is better then Benavidez and his feet and hands are much,much quicker (even at 30+yo), has two good legs, and will be ripping those combos.

Then reality sets in as Khan becomes predictable, unoriginal, the hands slow down, the timing is locked in. Potentially a beating could commence.

I never doubt that it's at least a possibility that a totally dialed in Khan could go 12rds however and make things VERY interesting on the cards.

 

Khan is Welterweight Usyk, he can win.
Khan is always Game. Khan has Uniquely beaten fighters. Khan is a Wild Card, if Crawford fights Southpaw he's going to be eating Spears. Khan was wanking it on Skype before canelo/problems with Feral cheating on him? Khan is living the warrior lifestyle again. Crawford can only win by KO in my & Dwyer's opinion

 

This fight is a far bigger risk and more meaningful than Brooke. You might to give Khan some credit here rather than being a complete moron.

 

Benavidez is a better fighter than Khan. Benavidez would KO him.

 

Amere Con will be on ***** street from the first hard JAB Bud throws. Then Crawford will finish him. It'll be over in 3 rounds max.

 

All Khans KO losses have been in the first 6 rounds

Willie Limond L KO Round 6 ( long count)
Brescott Prescott L KO Round 1
Danny Garcia L KO Round 4
Saul Alvarez L KO round 6

But with how shot and awful he looked in the Vargas figh and because how good Crawford is, I expect it to be really early - round 1 or 2, round 3 max.

 

Because he is Khan.
