Khan What Next

[captainanddew]

Looks like Khan, has a new trainer Virgil Hunter to me he has dealt with this totally unprofessional,
in his pro career up to now this is his 4th trainer. Khan had delusions of grandeur, expecting Roche to
drop, Manny and Jr, what a fool he is. Sorry but he's not a legend, may be in his own front room I
can't see him improving. Khan down fall NO CHIN , he does not need a new trainer maybe a stonemason
to make him a granite chin.

Khan's downfall is not that he doesn't have a good chin. It is that he does fundamental things wrong:
1-doesn't fight behind the jab enough
2-doesn't tuck his chin (ask BHOP about keeping it tucked at all times)
3-MOST IMPORTANTLY-he jumps/lunges in. When you have your chin in the air, and you jump/lunge in, then you are wide open and prepare to get hurt.

Well it looks like the fight that I called right after his last fight, is what Golden Boy is looking to do.

Here's the thread where I called it.

I just seen this on Dan Rafael's Twitter.

I was told that @GoldenBoyBoxing offered @hboboxing a December fight between @amirKingKhan and Humberto Soto and was turned down. #boxing


Just because HBO turned it down, doesn't mean Showtime will.

Interesting point's people made, but over all Khan is flawed starting out his career dropped by none
punchers, I said at the time his chin is not up to it.
Really it was Know shock, to see him getting ko twice and don't be surprised if it happens again,
regarding trainers, I go with what Fenster said.
Myself I feel Khan, has to win his next fight or he is finished , for all his talking about he needs a change
of trainer, I for one don't think it will make that much difference.

I think a change of trainers WILL make a difference for him. He still has time to learn more about the art of defense, and a great team to learn that from is Ward / Hunter. He needs to learn how to protect that chin, a little less offense, and also how to fight better on the inside, which he currently has very low ability in. Hunter and Ward can help him with all of that.

Khan also needs to learn how to get in and out a little quicker IMO, by maybe putting together one or two less punches at a time. I know he's very quick, but putting so many punches together in one combo actually just makes him slower and more open when he's letting go, the gaps are there for a larger amount of time, and thats what Garcia seemed to capitalise on. Just let your shots go when Khan opens up his light punching combos of five or six shots. He can really help himself defensively if he keeps the 5 and 6 punch combinations to a minimum and only when his opponent is in a poor position to provide anything in counter. you'll rarely see Ward putting that many shots together in one go, he's far too smart defensively for that

Hopefully that isn't a bunch of rubbish. Going on my prediction scores this week it may well be..

The thing is his opponents, no they have a good chance of beating him, were doe's Khan go he has to face top opposition.Let's face it not all are feather fisted,if he moves up in weight they will punch harder. So he is between a rock and a hard place, may be a fight with Hatton if he is successful in his
comeback, some were down the line.It's a fight the Brits would watch,and would make the both a lot of money.

He needs to learn how to defend his chin better. Hit and not get hit. And he needs to learn what to do on the inside or up against the ropes rather than just freezing and cover up. Maidana and Peterson both smashed him up when on the inside and Garcia let the punches fly when Khan opened up on 5 and 6 punch combos when he's chin is dangling about like a carrot unprotected.

He has the speed, reflexes and athleticism to still mix it with the top 10 if he defends himself better and uses his quick feet for better angles rather than running backwards or freezing against ropes.

[Kirkland Laing]

If all goes to plan Khan will have one or two fights at 140 against nonpunchers he can beat while Hatton gets one or two wins. Then they meet in a massive earner for both of them.

Khan can't really fight any top welters due to his chin. I'm guessing Golden Boy feed him one or two guys he can beat and somehow get him some kind of belt before Khan and Hatton both cash in.

[Tam Seddon]

He needs to stay on the outside and stick and move, get in and get out and not get involved in a war. He has the ability to box and cause any fighter problems with his speed. He can hurt fighters by boxing like that and he needs to be more patient by fighting that way. He would find openings by fighting like this and would have a better chance of winning fights.

He needs a fight back home IMO, I reckon Theopane wouldn't be a bad fight for him.
