By Scott Gilfoid: In looking at Amir Khan’s recent fight with Carlos Molina one thing that jumps out at you is how little Khan has really changed from his previous fights under trainer Freddie Roach. Other than Khan looking more mechanical, and less intelligent in the ring, I think there was absolutely no improvement in his game whatsoever. If anything, Khan looks worse off under the guidance of his new trainer Virgil Hunter, because if this supposed to be an improvement in his game than he’s not getting a good deal.
I think Khan would be much better off at the Wildcard gym where he can get more attention from LA crowd, first rate sparring at all times, and fight strategy that is more attuned to his own style. Hunter is not going to be able to make enough of an improvement to keep Khan from getting knocked out like he would with any other trainer. It’s not possible.
