    He's been training with John Breen thats for sure... nothing else i'm afraid. He'll give it 110% i'm certain of that.

    He's been in Hollywood maybe Freddie Roach can hook him up with a good surgeon and get a titanium plate put in his jaw.

    thing is that i dont think roach could do any different.

    khan didnt do anything odd or out of the ordinary in the prescott fight. he has always been an offencive fighter with immense handspeed.

    in the prescott fight he was caught with some heavy punches and i doubt his chin is as weak as everybody claims but............he dropped horribly and a jab isnt ment to buckle the knees

    what was wrong with khans defence?....he threw everything right just kept getting caught thats a clear sign that he is fighting people who didnt fight back or have the velocity on there punches to give back the damage.he seems good in defence at a standstill. but once he throws punches he is so open. look how he doesnt use his shoulder or footwork to get himself out of reach after he throws the right hand.

    all i know is that roach will give him a basic of jab and move. it makes sense for a guy who is 5'9 and has a middleweight reach.

    It will be a repeat of the Kristjansen fight. He'll hang around for a few rounds to prove that he can box, and then eventually go for the KO in the latter rounds.

    Of course, if ***an decides to come in swinging from the first then either he gets clocked or he finds Khans chin and the fight will be over very quickly.
