Khan v Molina FIGHT THREAD
posted on 16/12/12
When you have Garcia, Rios, JMM and Mattyse in this division who are all big punchers he still has a lot to prove.

He's challenged Garcia for a rematch, Garcia has to take this up! Only way to see if Khan is back for good!

KAHN LOOKED GOOD HE JUST NEEDS TO IMPROVE HIS TACTICS BECAUSE I THINK PRESSURE FIGHTERS WILL CONTINUE TO GIVE HIM FITS

Next few fights will define Khans career.

Decent performance from Khan against a fighter who was tailor made for him.
Let's see him in against a stronger fighter, who can punch.

Garcia would win again. Khan didn't really show much improvement. He dominated the fight last night just like he was against Garcia but the same flaws were still there. He got hit with big lefts and big rights and if Garcia lands one he will knock him out again..Molina had gone up a weight class so was smaller and not as powerful and in honesty hasn't fought anybody.

Khan made a lot of improvements, no one can match his hand speed. Show some new evasive skills and great lateral movement.
Stuck to the gameplan and did not get involved in a brawl.
Didn't chase the KO.
Khan would KO Garcia if they meet again.
Garcia got the Judah match up next year, and Khan looks to be targeting a tough match with the tall rangy, durabale, big punching wild man, Josesito Lopez.

I think Khan would beat Garcia if he fights the right way.
However, if he moves up to welter weight which he says he wants to do he will get schooled. The bigger stronger fighters will be able to impose themslves on him and his well documented frailties will come to the fore.
At light welter he can become a champion again, at welter he will be found out sooner rather than later.

Paisley Welterweight is overrated big time. There is far bigger punchers in light Welter than Welter. FMJ is now light middle, Manny just floats between weights and we are left with Malinaggi, Alexander, Bradley and Brook. It's a poor division now and light Welter has the big names now.

Berto would knock Khan with power out and Guerero would man handle him and I think Brook could beat him if he can fight twelve hard rounds. There are a good few welters who i think would beat Khan.
Physically bigger fighters will bully Khan, and that;s what I was getting at.
