    He tried to run. He tried to clinch.

    Both looked like bambi stuff.

    Lmao...

    Jus watched the 4th round again

    upon viewing it for the first two times I thought Khan was out of it..the whole round


    but holy **** he really did fight back..

    all he had to do was hold! then try to recover for the next 2 rounds..

    damn wtf.

    When do any of Roach's horribly coached fighters attempt to clinch? Roach is an overrated coach!

    Check the Linares/DeMarco fight. Exact same scenario!

    He did clinch once when Barrera countered him; he did it quite efficiently.

    Garcia was also doing a good job of maintaining his distance when attacking. It wasn't all Khan's stupidity.

    Khan should've been drenched in water as soon as he got back to corner, tabares just gave him a sip of water,

    All fighters have a fight/flee/clinch response, ie. Mayweather clinched when hurt by Mosley & covered up well, Morales would fight when hurt but he had a great chin & recovered quick

    A lot of boxers fail to clinch now-a-days. Clinching and fighting out of the clinch has become a lost art in modern boxing. The Klitchkos and Hopkins still do it, but not many others.

    He was on ***** STREET and didn't know where the **** he was. :lol: The guy has a glass chin, he can't take a punch. You tap him on that mandible and he's in la-la land. :nod

    Sometimes I wonder if most of the people on this site are casual fans or something. This is pretty basic stuff. The guy got clocked, didn't know here the **** he was, and therefore he wasn't in any shape to implement "strategy."

    Alex put a ice towel over Khan after the Maidana 10th round, I remember Khan saying when that went on my head it woke me up.

    The money shot was landed on his neck not chin you dumb ****.

    So how come still Khan took so many shots to the Chin in the 4th without going down.


    It's not about his chin, a well placed and timed shot will put anyone down.
