Khan seems to think he's a big hitter but watching the fight last night you could see and hear the difference when Khans shots landed vs Garcia's. Khan's made a more of slapping kinda noise whereas Garcia's made a real thudding sound even when he was hitting gloves! No idea why Khan thinks he's like Thomas Hearns because he clearly isnt! I have a feeling Kell Brook has the same mentality aswell although I think he hits harder than Khan does to be fair.

He is more of an accumulation damage puncher. He doesn't have one punch KO power. And you could tell the difference when Garcia threw his shots, the weight he put behind them, and how he transitioned his power from legs to his fists.

Even in terms of accumalation though i think he needs to land a lot of punches to eventually grind someone down! I mean for me Librado Andrade is an accumalation damage puncher because he is a heavy handed guy but its not the sort of guy to take someone out with one shot. Most big punchers tend to need to land a fair few before taking someone out. Imo there's very few true one punch KO artists, the only guys that really come to mind are Randall Bailey and Haye to an extent.

I personally think he hasn't improved greatley I think Oliver was doing a great job just didn't have the full co operation of him with his social life etc which now he sacrifices I think tactics were round and having his strength and conditioner advising him in sparring is not the best prep
It's crazy he doesn't have to travel half way across the world for a great coach there are many in england Ireland Scotland Wales etc I think he took better shots and gave when he had ariza.
I think he needs to look at this it would of been good for Oliver to get a chance to show he a world class coach but it won't happen but what about billy Nelson he having great results? It's a long shot and won't happen but there are defo things that need to be improved
