Decent performance from Amir, good step up for him. Bit unimpressed with the corner though - between the fifth and sixth he sat on his stool, corner silent, til Khan had to ask “So what do I do then? Should I just keep doing what I’m doing?”
Yeah, I agree.
Khan was getting hit a bit too much though… he needs to calm down and stop trying to be so wild, he could get caught by a flash KO punch if he is not careful. He looked good when he was using his jab. Good learning experience for him though against a tough fighter. Just needs to tighten up his defence a bit more!
True. tbh, I though he had been pinged for a minute when he caught that right in the corner! He was backing up in straight lines as well. He’s got a great toolbox though, hasn’t he? Power, handspeed, reach, good head movement…
not impressed by Khan tonight
he was too sloppy when he came inside, his defence needs working on and he needs to pick his punches alot better…he thought he could just roll over the guy with these quick flurries but they weren’t even going through the opponent’s guard. All that did was waste energy.
He also hasn’t got much power, he’s still young but there are alot of improvements that need to be made.
All the showboating was irrelevent, all he managed to do was get hit…He thinks he has the reflexes of Roy Jones but that is not the case.
Agreedsaddo. Fair points theone, but perhaps a tad harsh at this early stage. Not sure about him having no power either, the guy has only been stopped by one fighter…
don’t get me wrong, I think he will become world champion someday and i know he’s still a kid in boxing terms so he’s got a long way to go.
I just don’t think he will become another De La Hoya or Mayweather
This was a good fight for him in the sense it exposed a lot of his weaknesses and hes got a lot to work on back in the gym. Fighting on the inside, his defence needs working on and he needs to stop pussyfooting around by showboating and so on. Overall, not a bad performance. Props to both fighters.
not impressed at all.he was showboating (bigheaded dick),fell through the ropes,his guard was shit and if he’d of been given a big punch he would of been on his arse IMO.
Good news for your little flutter mate
In fighting is a big issue for me and the hands dropping and stupid showboating will be his undoing if he keeps it up.
Anyone else think he was’nt planting his feet when throwing punches?
Seemed to be hitting a lot of glove and was almost firing them off on 3/4 power.
Danny is infuriating to watch. I swear one day Jim Mcdonald, a quality trainer btw, is jus going to slap him about in the corner. Sometimes it looks like he needs to so Danny will get his arse in gear.
