Khan vs Ortiz

[fatman]

I think Khan will fight Prescott in England next, then Maidana, two good fights.

Bomber - I suspect if Khan was still with FW you would probably say he would beat Alexander and Bradley

For what its worth I think Bradley apart Khan beats everyone at 140.

Imagine if he had a chin - he would be nigh on unbeatable at 140.

He is only 23 and has only had 25 fights, its frightening to think how could he could be

Alexanders actually the same age as Khan and already has beaten better fighters already and keeps calling out Bradley who's been ignoring him saying 'if HBO put up a load of money maybe'. Alexander certainly did a better job against Witter, but maybe Witter was more faded by then. Khans boxing skills aren't as good as you may think either he makes mistakes still going back and forwards in straight lines for 1 thing

Agreed, doesn't double the jab enough, too eager to bring the right in. When used the left exlusively in the 9th or was it 10th he broke Mag's heart.

According to Buncey, Ortiz was stopped by Khan in the amateurs.

I think Khan will stop him in the pro game as well.

I agree with what wrists has said above. Khan is still only 23, is definitely improving with every fight, and already is a genuine world class operator. He's done really well to come back from that KO defeat.

Stopped by the outclassed rule. Khan was so far ahead on points that it was stopped. Don't think the amateur bout has any bearing on the pro bout. Khan can't stop him on points in a professional bout.

now Ortiz has had his confidence sapped by the Maidana fight i don't think he's as dangerous to khan

if they are fencing from the outside in a chessmatch type fight i think Khan's extra length and (IMO) speed advantage would be too much for ortiz.

good point on the jab. when KHan wast rying to throw combinations he looked amateurish and missed a lot, still has tendency to move his arms chaotically, rather than pick shots and place them.

the double jab was like his low-maintenance gameplan, less margin for error/ higher probability of success. he was stepping in with it like never before, was a thing of beauty at times

khan would break ortiz heart and stop him late on

[Bard of Boxrec]

khan would break ortiz heart and stop him late on

where exactly does this term come from? as far as i'm aware, they're not in love, and if they were it would have to be a long distance relationship considering how far apart they will be kept from each other.

Anyway, at some point in this fight Ortiz will hit Khan. When he does, it's over.

For this reason I expect Khan to be steered well clear, take a suspiciously long time off while Golden Boy decide who is the biggest name and the smallest threat, Khan ends up fighting Lamont Petersen, followed by a couple of 'keep busy' defences while GBP desperately search the lightweight division for a sellable name to be dragged up to light welter.

I think it would be awesome if they could make Khan/Katsidis. Can anyone tell me honestly they could see Khan surviving Katsidis' pressure and power?
