Re: Khan's trainer Hunter thinks Khan can beat Manny!
Manny would have to deteriorate enough for Khans hand speed advantage to put him in the center of the ring and in the hunting position. Its a bad fight for Khan because he does better when hes the hunter and stalking lesser skilled/game opponents, because he can dictate the pace of the fight. Fighting a guy like manny, much of whos game is blitzing opponents with hard fast combos, is like a nightmare for Khan because khan doesn't have time to pick his shots and engage at his leisure. Worse than that is he'll come right to Manny. When he does come in, Khan has a bad habit of overextending and gets caught out of position. He'll find himself stuck in the perfect range for many to go buzzsaw on him.
Khan will need to work on his inside game, muscle-ing man with his size and his footwork and ring generalship to keep from getting tripped up with his own feet when many starts trying to get to him.
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
