He falters and gets stopped.
I agree it's sink or swim time for him.

I think he'll do it and do it well. We'll see anyway.







This is Khans problem and always has been.
He likes to mix it and have a tear up too much ala Joe Calzaghe.
Thing is Joe had a granite chin and Khan doesn't and never will have.
He can't help himself when he wants to crowd please.
Inexperience..? (maybe) and your right we will see soon enough but unless Roach has had him on some sort of "Chin Gym" or seriously and dramatically got him fighting differently and to a plan that he'll stick too i don't see him lasting past the 5th round.
Do you not wonder why Barrera is fighting in gyms in China against opponents who have been ko'd quicker by Wes Ferguson, Robert Guerrero and Jason Litzau?
