The Real and Deep Problems in Khan's Style

Hes too desperate to jump in and use the right hand when he doesnt have to.. Just use your ****ing jab more.

 

I'm failing to see the JFK connection

 

in a rematch, who would win?

i'd say as poor as khan was he'd win by a margin. i can't see him attempting to copy floyd (badly) again. he just lacks the subtlety.

 

Problem is Khan don't have the leg's (Stamina @ 140lbs) to allow him to fight from the outside all-night, Nor does he have the "Solid" chin to develop a premier inside game.
(+ He doesn't seem to punch as hard without his adidas gloves)

One of the prob's I see is his inside game is weak-as-****.

 

agreed. he needs to learn some inside game and also calmness he gets too excited just doesnt seem to know how to control distance with his jab or feints he does it with his feet constantly moving around and lunging in recklesssly. he needs more control over himself

 

Khan will always be like this. He can never become an inside fighter. Roach is partially to blame for that. But khan just seems lost when it comes to inside fighting. He only knows how to clinch. Also he cant punch backing up. He runs till he can set his feet and fire back to that in n out style.

You wanna learn how to punch while moving backwards and turning all at the same time watch erik morales. He has it down to perfection. Brandon rios is great inside fighter. He is effortless with his hooks n uppercuts, just leaning on you throwing them heavy hands. Completely ruins dudes faces.

 

inside game???? with that chin??? :nono


he needs to sit down on his punches with accuracy....why stay inside, when you can knock your opponent out outside.....

 

You make a great point. I felt Khan would have his way on the back-foot or the front foot, although I always thought Peterson would be more effective on the front foot rather than the back-foot, but when Peterson abandoned trying to box him and started coming foward putting the pressure on, its like Khan needed time to adjust, to get accustomed to the new strategy Peterson was employing.


Khan also seems to fight on anxiety imo. He reminds me of Ricky Hatton, Pacquiao and Calzaghe in that sense. He seems more effective when he raises the tempo and fights at a higher pace.

 

1. He has an abysmal Glass Jaw.

2. He has garbage footwork and chooses to run rather than set up angles.

3. He is a Feather Fisted Fraud.

4. His defense is porous.

5. He has no in-fighting ability.

 

sth tells me that freddie roach won't be awarded this year - his little asian fellas got their asses whooped!

 

he needs to pick his punches more selectively and conserve energy for the later rounds

 

There is one main problem

and that is deciding to just stand there with his crappy defence up -takes shots- then say 'nah that didn't do anything' -

IM LIKE WHY THE F*CK DID YOU DO THAT?
WHY?!?WHWHWWWywyw/w

 

He has to be more patient Its no reason to waste energy throwing unnecessary combos, he should really pattern his style off a young DLH hell that's his boss.
