Khan became a very good runner!
I love watching Khan fight. He has top speed and athleticism, a so-so boxing IQ, an average gas tank and one of the all-time weakest glass chins. A real Frankenstein’s monster–thrills guaranteed! The excitement here is watching him try to survive against a hard-charging mediocre opponent. He does, just barely, needing help from the worst ref in England and his running shoes.
khan is on the right track but is far from a confrontation with a technical fighter
Khan is a sh*t fighter. Has some tools but the grabbing and pushing down is sh*t. He is lucky he got tagged at the end of the two rounds or he would be tweetcrying about Vargas
