    Or more to the point what has he learned!

    From what I saw he is still fighting at a frantic pace and still drops his right hand when he jabs.

    Granted he has only been with Roach one fight who was fully focused on the Pacman.

    havent seen the fight yet but was there any idication that ***an hurt his ankle?? Hes never been stopped so Khans power is growing really want to see how he does. It will take a more than 1 fight before we see how well he is doing under roach another 2/3.

    No kahn just had to much speed and power for ***an who was really outmatched. To be fir i thought kahn did a much betetr job of keeping his gloves up high and when ***an threw a big shot he stepped back and blocked or countered instead of just rushing in.

    Khan fought a pretty perfect fight. He didnt take a clean shot and landed some cracking counters. The opposition was poor though. ***an tried hard but he was throwing wild looping right hands and Khan could see them easily.
    Khan needs to step up slowly, starting with cleaning up the British lightwieghts before fighting anyone from overseas.

    Oh, i dont think anyone learnt anything.
    We all knew that Khan had talent.
    Khan would have got some confidence back but wont be rushing after any big boys anytime soon.

    I you Brit fans want Khan to reach his fullest potential, he needs to fight more foreign fighters with strong chins and medium-to-low power. I don't think your domestic group has much challenge for him and in the absence of challenge he will no grow.

    No. He hasn't proved himself against the best of British yet. He should go for the British title, then European title. He wont though as that is too sensible. He'll fight a load of shitpieces and in a couple of years start fighting shot champions.

    You can see his left left when he went down then when he got back up he had to steady himself on the rope because of his balance.

    it did effect him i dont care what anyone says and he fought on would khan fight on with a broken leg ( Reports say it was the ankle but it was actually the fibula just above the ankle)

    But when all is said and done Khan won if Ois hadnt done the damage he would have caused Khan problems but i still think Khan would have won as the only way i saw Ois winning was if Khan wasnt 100% mentally.

    Nothing. As soon as he fights even a semi decent fighter again his Glass Jaw will get shattered.

    I knew it!!
    You have nothing else to say! Your boxing knowledge is limited to chin. Learn about speep, power, movement, counter punching, etc. You'll see, there is a lot more than chin! Good luck!

    He will get KOed in his next fight. His Chin is one of the worst in the History of the sport.

    Without a Chin none of those things you listed matter.

    Eventually you will have to take a punch. You either can take it or you will crumble just like Khan did.
