At top level, you need to be able to either sit in the pocket and still be able to defend yourself, or box at long range and prevent your opponent getting close enough, and therefore control the fight.

Khan tends to end up getting on top of his opponent, but once there, lacks the savvy on the inside to stay protected.

This is why talk of him going with Ingle is ridiculous. Khan would probably benefit more from a traditional technician like Manny Steward, but Manny these days I don't think is much more than a gun for hire and isn't the answer.

Jumping from trainer to trainer isn't going to help either, we've seen what that does for fighters, continuity is as important as anything. I don't know who I would suggest could help, because his problems seem to be ingrained to an extent. Floyd mayweather Sr could probably improve his defence, but I don't know if he is fluid enough to execute that style, he's a bit too stiff.

His groin and lower back are under to much strain, tightening the kneck muscles suppoting the Oral cavity Which isnt where it should be in relation to the Coxxyx, theres the problem.

Amir did little wrong, except fall over when he got hit.

Despite the talk on here, he didn't come flying out of the blocks, he threw a few jabs, and then just left his right a little bit low, and Breidis did the rest.

Amir can tighten his defence, he change things here and there, but what we all suspected to be true evidently is true, he just doesn't hold a shot well, now we know why there were so many non punchers in the opposite corner.

allegedly allegedly allegedly is no fool, he must have thought there was something iffy about Khan's punch resistance, perhaps there were clear signs in sparring that Khan could be hurt easily, and maybe he figured that if Khan was ever going to progress, he would have to face a puncher some time and thought it was time to go shit or bust.

One thing is for sure, Khan's stock has fallen quicker than a freight elevator with a snapped cable.

If there is gloating on, then Warren and Khan have nobody but themselves to blame, if you are being built as the next british legend of boxing, you'd better make sure you don't get knocked out in less than a minute by an unknown columbian opponent, who was hand picked by your own trainer, and approved by your promoter.

I always had my doubts about Khan as any kind of true world champion, and I'm more sure than ever that he will never get there now, and if I have to eat my words some day in the future, I'm prepared to take that risk.

Watch it again, James. Amir RAN out of his corner. R-A-N.

And he did plenty wrong - o where to begin? How about throwing a lead right hand in the first 10seconds of a fight with someone who, on paper, could punch? How about throwing a lead left uppercut against that same puncher despite just getting rocked by a jab? How's about getting up at "1" rather than "7" and not allowing his head to clear at all? What about going on the attack after that very near KO, and not running or attempting to cover up?

Plenty of mistakes right there, and all in 51 seconds.
