chisora credit for getting back to his feet twice!! most heavyweights would still be on the floor from those shots

Khan got dragged into a fight he didn't want or need. All due credit to Garcia for that. Khan's career is at a major crossroads now.

Re: Boxing Round 2 : Sun Jul 15, 2012 10:22 pm  

Anyone see that sparring session Khan had where he was going toe to toe with his partner, who was giving him as good as he got? How did Roach allow that thought to even enter his head? The last thing he wanted to be doing was going toe to toe with Garcia, who is heavy handed but on the slow side (Prescott anyone?). Full credit to Garcia, but I don't see him ever being in the truly world class stage (time will tell).

Unfortunately for Amir, he doesn't have a Carl Froch chin, as much as he'd like to go to war he really needs to work behind a stiff jab and a hell of a lot more movement.

Khan just doesn't use his attributes to his advantage. He should be fighting tall on the outside and use his speed to counter and get in and out. Instead he is too reckless and paid the price. His overall defence is very pooor he just seems to stan and cover up, he's got to move his dead and feet.
He shouldn't be losing to guys like Garcia if he wants to create a legacy, stop thinking about Mayweather and concentrate on building your career and earning your shot.

He can still come back but he will have to learn to fight more like Terry Norris than Marvin Hagler.

I'm not sure Roach was there at that point.

Price wants to fight Chisora allegedly. Where's the ambition in that? If that were Fury he'd be getting called all kinds of names...

Well given the fact his defence hasn't improved a jot I can see his point. He needs a trainer who's going to mould him into a defensive counter puncher because he simply doesn't have the chin to fight the way he does. Manny Steward would be good for him, look how he's helped Vladamir.

I flatly refuse to believe that Roach was advising Khan to stand and trade. So if Khan wasn't going to listen to Roach, why would anyone believe he'll listen to anybody else?
Khan continually gets involved in the wrong sort of fight, allows himself to be dragged into a brawl instead of sticking to his boxing. And if he hasn't got that through his skull yet that that's a bad idea, it's doubtful that it ever will, regardless of who it is trying to get the message through.
