Does anyone know the guys name he was sparring? They were really going for it.
It was so wild at one point I was expecting to see Khan ironed out. Also did anyone else laugh at Khan pushing him?

No mate cant help with that but I did read that Amir has changed his toothpast because toothpaste with fluoride contains rat poison and kills you.
His name is Suhrab Shidaev.
Amir was rocked to his boots ;D
That sparring was definitely a bit naughty. Without the head guard I think Khan was going over. Even David Haye's conditioner told him to behave ;D
@Manos de Piedra - That guy is not even a pro?
On first reading I didn't have clue what this meant. I just saw the story. I've read about utter mentals going for this no flouride lark before. They all ended up toothless ;DQuote:

Also he did look terrible, in his sparing, all in all has his training camp gone well,! I have a feeling thing's
have not gone well.
I honestly don't see Khan as a "nob"
I actually think he comes across as a nice guy. He's not Einstein yet is in the public eye and has everything he says scrutinised over. Love to see how that goes for some of the brains on here (absolute carnage).
Fenster he's not nasty, I find him OK till he open's his gob he does say some daft stupid ,comments for publicQuote:

Yeah he says plenty of stupid things but he's 25 and has been in the public eye since he was 17. There's a huge difference between being stupid and offensive.Quote:

I can't recall reading or hearing a journalist ever say a bad word about him. In fact the opposite. They normally always say what a nice guy he is.
I would say the mouth is in gear,well before the brain but he's no worse than most fighters,;D there again it's boxing not a poetry contest.:graduate:
Well Khan lost, I feel his training camp did not go well, and he was being hit a lot in that sparing session
there were some signs. But well done Garcia, we must remember for all the training and fitness Khan will
never in prove that chin,it's a pity but that's boxing.
The sparring session was pretty telling after all.
His chin let him down but also he was getting countered to easy from the opening round and fighting too much.
After the Maidana fight he had a bunch of idiots telling him he proved his chin now but it was blatantly obvious he would get knocked out again soon if he wasn't more defense minded.
The only good thing about this loss is he'll be fighting back in Britain now (no more 4am bollocks).
I can watch him get sparked at a decent hour thenQuote:

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.
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?
and if you had half a brain as a boxer you yourself would know this.Quote:

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"???Quote:

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?Quote:

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.
