Amir Khan Hitting The Mits With Freddie Roach For Danny Garcia Fight

s***..idk it seems to me like freddy roach has deterrioriated big time in this video (due to his condition).. i hope not, wish all the best for him.

Forgive me for my ignorance, but in boxing you have so many weight classes. Some of those weiht classes are only a few pounds apart from each other. Does a few pounds really make a difference or is boxing just trying to create as many titles as possible?

Amir looks better and better. Funny how lots of critics said Pacquiao made Roach, etc. Roach has improved the angles and footwork of Khan & Chavez Jr. as well. Two potential legends in the making right there. It sucks seeing Roach’s condition worsen with time.

@ Ramdog, I think modern science would suggest there really isn’t a significant difference from one weight class in boxing to the one immediately above and below it. Bone density and structure is the foundation for power, so fighting a man who, disregarding muscle mass, is naturally larger than you does give him that advantage. I accept some truth to that, but I also think from a business perspective: it sure as hell has benefited the boxing organizations to have so many different weight classes, ha$n’t it?

@Ramdog I wondered this myself until I started boxing. It is a legitimate question. Short answer: YES it really does make a big difference. Remember they are fighting at there hydrated weight not their weigh in weight. Some fighters can gain 12lbs over night. While the other fighter stays the same (meaning that is closer to his walk around weight). So during the fight you might have one guy weighing 150lb vs. another guy weighing 162lb. On the street that’s NOT a big deal at all. Chances are there is a wide gap in skill and the smaller guy could easily beat the bigger dude. But with ELITE athletes the margins are so slim, that ANY advantage is of great concern. Think of it as Michael Phelps in swimming having larger feet, that give in an edge in micro-seconds. Kinda similar. Hope this helps

, FR,looks really good..there is no equal when it comes to top of the line boxing coach in the world…his movements with the pads and legs are second to non,great cordination fon suffering Parkinson disease…his planning and boxing strategies are number 1

Hey bruno….common bro this is an mma….site…why are we putting boxing on it…if its a paciao or mayweather fight…i understand…but common…now these limp dick guys?

Sirhitsalot-what they were doing helps you develop a higher pain threshold. You would repeatedly strike various parts of your body with bamboo sticks. The bamboo sticks sting but won’t break bones or cause bruising. Muay Thai fighters use them in training.

thank you for setting the record straight, Newfie

Has Amir developed borrettes??

Damn Amir’s hands are fast!
