Like I said in another thread, this training was all wrong.
Khan is a boxer, sharp hitter with fast hands, so he should be training and sparring to maximide those strengths. He is a bit chinny, so WHY WHY WHY is he sparring like he's in a war. This is one of the reasons he can't fight hurt, he stands in front of his opponent and gets involved in a slugfest every time he is hurt. He shouldn't do it when he's fresh, never mind when he's out on his feet.
You want your sparring to exactly mimic what you expect to do in the ring (so it's different for each fighter you face). That way, you have muscle memory of what you need to do and you can automatically fall back on that if you get your head scrambled during the fight.
Very very poor decision making in training, and I'm surprised that went on at this level. I don't think Roach spent much time with Khan for this one.
If God wanted us to be vegetarians, why are animals made of meat ?
Yeah I never believed that sparring session would be this big a factor.
Being trained by a conditioner, in the absence of Roach and having wild sparring sessions instead of working on a gameplan have really comeback to haunt him.

Do you know who I think would be a good trainer for Khan? Adam Booth. He'd have him fighting off the back foot and protecting his chin much more. Unless it's just as simple as Khan cannot stick to a game plan once he gets clipped?
So he lost because the sparring was too rough.
No duh!
He lost because he changed his toothpaste. Pay attention man!

But even still, his conditioner was telling him not to get wild. He emphasized the point and Khans response was something like, "Yeah but it's exciting"
He's just going to be one of those fighters who's ego will just always get the better of him no matter who his trainer is. The best I've seen him stick to a plan was against Kotelnik..but then again, he wasn't a big puncher.
Nobody will change Him, its too ingrained how He operates. He hasnt changed in 8 years.

It's true..do you know what I just noticed too in the Garcia fight?
In round 4 when he was on queer street for most of the round and getting laced with massive left hooks and right hands, he's STILL doing that cocky thing of waving Garcia on?? Leg's like bambi on ice and still trying to be cocky? He did it about 3 times! Check this video : It starts at 1:20-1:50
He hasn't got a hope in hell with an attitude like that.
His problem, and it always has been, is His Backleg. Puts the Head where it should not be.

His head being in the wrong position is the exact same thing he taunted Paul McCloskey with after beating him. Funny old game.
