    Yes. That's exactly right. I scored it to Khan by 2 points, so no bias here. Just telling it like it is. He fought like a total pus and gassed out quick. In a re-match, I would expect that to change and would easily predict a Khan UD...

    Just because you're tired doesn't mean the fight ends.

    A guy being chased is always going to be more tired than the guy doing the chasing. How hard is it to understand?

    he also lacks that killer instinct that the elites possess...

    why stop going to the body against maidana??

    I think you're spot on. I also think he is too jittery and this leads to him making mistakes and not knowing when to attack or defend, he always seems to be manic either way.

    I really think his defence is very poor for a top world class boxer, who has won titles. Even when he covers up he seems to get tagged CLEANLY. Also his race horse impressions during a fight doesn't bode well, especially against relentless fighters. He still doesn't use his speed properly....

    On a serious note, i always thought that Khan wasn't ready and needs to tighten up his skills. His great speed and movement makes him better than what he really is. He has too many flaws at the moment and even with his assets, he doesn't appear to know when to use them.

    Pretty simple tbh?

    He took 190 bodyshots and was being chased throughout the fight.

    Because he only knows how to fight one way, that's why.
