amir confidante carlos molina at the l_a_ sports arena on the campus of
universities boil children american looked pretty good if he had had a
technical knockout going into the eleven th around a smart decision to stop the
fight because carlos molina gravity landed a lot of good shots he simply
could not stop
amir khan in his tracks at all throughout this fight he was bleeding
profusely throughout he started bleeding in the first round we got cut many times
by america
time now twenty seven three with nineteen ninety out i would use a m
adding this is just on the surface but wouldn't you say that if amir khan
fought a
better fighter a stronger fighter that this chain despite what a change
drastically
uh... it might have changed drastically but i think it wasn't
smart plate for complicate given that he potentially troublesome trouble as well
as couples plates
um... movie is no slouch as we know uh... again he moved up in the way he's
really not
come to class
it was a good place to con calming back and i put it on a really good
performance i think he showed
more
he showed aspects said he did not but just before i think that is working
one of her daughter you know it's only been a couple of months is already
beginning to sort of uh...
to bear
proved let's start over two hundred this is their first fight together after com
was with former trainer freddie roach since two thousand aids so here's what
he said a number of honor hurdle is a great trainer and getting better boxing
and at the complete fighter he's teaching me boxing speed patients and
picking the right shot and it went to throw it sometimes into break for my own
good but now i know it's better to stick
to the game plan was the case wanted to
you know unleash combinations on molina use the jab and then as pauline on as
you would say uh... there are many ways the quote polling on as a this will be
one of the few uh...
what he said you know he'll go in elise if u combinations and that'll take a
walk
it's easy and will circle around is that sort of the game plan number two hundred
wanted to institute
into amir khan's game
well i think that's part of it for sure and i think that uh...
con execute that beautifully also one car got nailed he didn't feel compelled
twosome trade punches
that'll we seem to be cons weak point that he's social warrior that when
people start punching him he wants to punish them back rapid and taking a walk
is police said
re composing himself uh... establishing his shapiro reacted distorted and making
it move was appropriate to make a move
i think that i can become put on a great performance and again i think it's
perfectly next performance will be even greater
greer still but i i think it was a good performance on all five classified as a
great he says i still feel like
he amir khan is absolutely entertaining to watch she's a very good fighter a
very technical fighter
but again any i have not seen a lot of improvement in his defense i understand
that maybe he was a little more patient this time around with carlos salinas
but the fact is he got hit repeatedly over and over and over so if you were to
fight
yeltsin allow rose was reset you refine it and that will be required dot
with a little more power doesn't have to be a skill does molina but if you bought
a guy with more power i don't think that this would be the end result that an
american fight i think that he probably would have got knocked out or n
he probably would have got knocked out
over the course of you know eight to ten rounds
or he will also decision because he's such a warrior that he would get back up
from getting knocked down
well you're putting we'll take it on my don't necessarily discreet
but i do think that he's only been working with his new trainer and who we
know is exemplary we'd need only look at andre ward to know that
but people can one more time to another few months to work with this new trainer
heightened idea i think
i think book called in his trainer are aware of cons defense of liabilities
and i think you're going to correct them uh... video one can correct that much i
mean the body of his own memory and tends to resort to what it knows a
specially under fire
but i think it's a little more time i think we're going to improvements
uh... with on the air con and i think you also step up the competition is next
fight
so uh... it's way too soon to read up on the air con um...
that's for sure
i'm not totally writing him off i'm just saying that
if he were to fight a better a better counter-punch ur
more power
the fight with a change that's that's all i'm pretty much trying to say
thus s karol small leanest performance really quickly is now seventy one and
one his first lost
of his career
uh... if you look good he was countering america on my crazy throwing a lot of
overhand rights he he was using his daughter punches
to try and win rounds the only landed eighty-seven punches in the fight sold
out of time but uh... assess his performance
valueclick slater but he's not in a play date on italy's later he's a beast later
uh... put on the next one performance uh... again he exposed some of the
liabilities compositions you pointed out
but i put a proper good performance especially since she was cut as badly if
he was and again
i mean it
working with chocolate somebody with the hair speed of con won't have to really
be special and again a couple fighters happen special they've they flattened
them budget um...
again i think on is a work in progress
school which is hard to imagine could you complaining for so long
but i think with a new trainer uh... he's going to continue to develop
the liabilities the holes in his defense that you pointed out
uh... are very real but i think that they're closing and that they will be
closing even more the next time we see him in the right without a performance
would have meant for amir khan if he were to
knocked out
carlos molina because he said that he jumped up and wait you know it's five
pounds
uh... i i think it's certainly a lot because a lot of fighters are not like a
mini past the hour they could just keep jumping up like crazy
uh... adding on five pounds is a little different for a fight and at least from
outsiders perspective
what kind of
you know cherry on top would have meant for amir khan to knocked out carlos
molina
well i guess it would have been cheerio
sort but i believe he basically forces quarter torn the top based on the
beating that that that therefore there was taking it on my short list of holy
a case
stopped the fight also lee came outside earlier today the caller actually had to
blast it and hip fractures in both hands
so if anybody wants to call into question calms toughness
just look at that leaves medical report and that bearing will be apparently
fleischer answer sir that that is a very fair points let me ask you this
amir khan looked very very few in this fight uh... again some defensive line
buildings but overall
uh... always entertaining what could be next for him
are not sure i'm not sure exactly he's going to step it up disinterest for
slicked back in a way
i think he's going to get back into the room back into into the g_m_ and
continue to work with virtual hunter continued to develop
um...
continue ho some of the loop to gaps in his uh... in his defense
i think that he will increasingly become more complete fighter we won't know
until you put somebody like any course here
which is down the road for sure if that's an inevitable match
uh... but not yet too soon i think what let him work and continue to learn that
can continue to develop and and we try and we'll see what develop look on his
career
