Khan Exposed - No surprises

[Shamrock]

I expected Khan to get beat but not this early in his career. Any fighter that gets caught flush in the manner that Khan did is going to be in trouble. It's as much to do with Khan's defence as it is with his chin... both are questionable but his defence is more to blame.

In a way Khan reminds me of Bruno in the way that when he gets hurt he has no idea what to do. after the knockdon Khan was badly hurt and should have stayed down for the full 8 count instead though he jumped straight up and was immediatley back into trouble.

In a way a quick knockout will provide Khan with an excuse that will hurt him in the long run. He will claim that he caught caught cold and maybe say it was a lucky punch... the truth though is far more serious. Khan is susceptible to being counter punched and not with any particular punch - I've seen him hit with counter straight rights and left hooks. His defence can be worked on but I'm afraid the fatal flaw his his survival instinct when he's hurt... no attempt to take advantage of an 8 count and little if any idea how to spoil or hang on until his head is clear.

I'm afraid that the meteor that was Amir Khan has burnt up on impact. Maybe like Nigel Benn did when exposed by Michael Watson he can regroup and work his way back but I get the feeling he won't be given the time to do that and any hopes of being a true force at world level vanished with that first left hook....

I acutallly think Khan until yesterday had shown he had exactly what it took to survive a knockdown or scare, (I'm talking mentally not physically here) He had always come back admirably.

Yesterday though he was literally sparked. Give him credit for getting up from the first one but he was completely gone at that point. There's not a fighter in the world who could have tied up and got themselves out of the trouble Khan was in from that shot, he was literally out on his feet.

As for the punch, it looked solid but not powerful enough to smash someone like that. Sadly it seems Khan has all the tools but his chin is just far to weak for the job. I do hope he comes back from this though, and I genuinely feel that in a few years he'll be physically tougher and more ring weary and battle hardened, and will be able to survive these trickier fights.

I still think he'll win a belt or two, but it's going to be a long road now.

He will get physically bigger but that won't help... you can't put muscles on your chin As long as his defence is leaky he's vunerable and I stand by my view that when he's hurt instinct takes over and his instinct is to get up quick almost to prove he's not hurt... He probably will win a world title (but then I probably could cos there are so many out there...) I guarantee though this will not be the last time we see Khan counted out.

I think people may be forgetting or discrediting this guy that Khan fought as a true massive puncher.

Prescott resume is fill with pure bums. All he did Saturday was add another one. No need to overrate him.

I won't overrate him

But just because his resume is all bums doesnt mean his power isn't legit, its just unproven against anyone good yet.

Warren has made a massive investment in Khan and needs to now put his foot down, Khan has had a say in what division he fights in, what trainer he has but Warren has chosen the opponents, knowing Khan wasnt ready and not learning.

Khan isnt getting any decent sparring, hes not learning how to defend himself because he can control and overwhelm his sparring partners and against his soft opponents he wasnt being forced to learn either and the first decent puncher he faces, bang!!

Warren needs to pack Khan with his new trainer and no hangers on away to an american gym where he will have shiit loads of tough sparring and he wont be able to play the celebrity either, if he did that you would get an improvement before his next fight, as it is he wont go anywhere.

Kahn had just better thank his lucky stars Prescott didn't connect on that follow up haymaker right hand......of course he got to thank those stars in person as they were circling his head for the next half hour
