AMIR KHAN: “WE NEED TO WORK ON DEFENSE…I REALLY WANT THE FIGHT AGAINST GARCIA”
“Yeah, I think we need to work on defense. That’s one thing I’ve always said I have to work on…I spoke to Freddie about it yesterday it was, yeah, and he’s agreed with me. Yeah, we can work on a few things. Look, I made a mistake in the fight and I just have to come back and be stronger…I think the only fight left for me at 140 is Garcia…I think we probably will try to get the Garcia fight. I know they don’t want it, but we’ll see what happens…I really want the fight against Garcia,” stated former jr. welterweight champion Amir Khan, who talked about his disappointing loss to Danny Garcia, his strong desire for a rematch, his future plans and much more. Check it out!
Amongst the topics Amir discussed were:
- Possibility of employing a defensive specialist
- Floyd Mayweather
- Danny Garcia rematch
- Next fight?
- Fighting in the UK
- 140 or 147?
Check out the press conference video where Amir talks about numerous issues with Freddie Roach being the hot topic.
I believe he could do it. Rematch lucky Garcia, go up to 147 and destroy Mayweather in the UK
LOL!!!! Go up to 147, “destroy” Floyd in the UK. That’s hilarious! Tip for Amir: Stop overlooking fighter trying to get to the money fight. Work on a jab and watch tape of som e great fighters with similar tools. Stop trying to be Manny with the ambush/retreat style because you have to have KO power and a chin to do that. If he has dreams of 147, he better tighten up his fundamentals because there are nothin but sharks up there waiting.
I had to laugh at that myself. I like Amir and have a lot of respect for Amir but destroy Mayweather is humorous. But everybody is entitled to their opinion. Personally, nobody below 160 beats Mayweather. Even most guys at 160 would struggle to be fair. Amir has a lot to offer. Defensively he has identified it needs work, so fair play lets hope he gets the coaching he needs in that department, because fundamentally Khan can be one of the best in the game
Talk about wishing thinking to the point of delusion (destroy Mayweather)….lmao
*wishful
Pa Lease. Khan couldn’t beat peterson(cheaterson as they call him these days) and he couldn’t beat Danny Garcia after crying for his belts back.Garcia didn’t get lucky he just knocked your ass out easy.It’s called counter punching not luck. Marquez did it the entire fight to pacquaio. Pacquiao and Khan are the faster punchers but there defense sucks so they lose to a good counter puncher every time.Mayweather will murder khan in the center of the ring. I hope that fight happens soon so the idiots who think khan is ready can shut up.
Could he beat Garcia? Possibly. Could he destroy Mayweather in any weight class and in any location?
GTFOH!!!!!!
Please Khan has no business fighting in the same ring as Mayweather! He got knocked out by a slow counter puncher like Garcia Khan is done!!! Khan is overrated in the sport we call boxing.
khan wont last 7 rds against floyd
Remember when everyone was saying that Floyd was a defensive fighter and his style is boring.. !! Yep Now everyone sees that you need defense of some kind to be an overall good fighter!! Amir Khan and Pacman are both all offensive no defense.. Come forward blasting! its a recipe for knockout against a talented defensive and offensive fighter. Man oh Man id Floyd Mayweather looking better and better by the day!!.
Beat mayweather thts crazy khan is not even on Mayweathers level..Mayweather would break down khan…GRACIA exposed Khan!!! Hes not all the hype..
As long as khan is wit roach, he will most likely get knockef out again because roach only teaches his fighters offense and no d wat so ever. Manny lost to bradley, khan lost to garcia, and chavez jr, will most likely most likely lose to sergio m and that will be a clean sweep of the top 3 roach fighters. Maybe fighters has figured out how to beat a roach train fighter. We will see sept 15 jr vs. Sergio.T
