Re: Boxing 2012
Manny Pacquiao will not give up boxing, despite pleas from family

Why can't boxers know when their time is up.

Re: Boxing 2012
Very true it is but the media is just talking plain bollocks. To suggest his career was over last time was pure nonsense.
Manny Pacquiao has been knocked out three times and is one of the best P4P boxers on the planet and still a huge draw as he will continue to be.
I've went out on a limb here, Roach is the problem it seems, His camp/fighters have fallen apart under him this past year. Khan has made an excellent choice in Virgil, if Virgil can get his defence sorted and have Khan fighting a similar fight to Andre Ward then you have one hell of a boxer. The speed and reflexes with an improved defence will see him clear the ring of just about anyone.
Danny Garcia knockout wasn't a chin issue to be honest, Garcia evidently packs a punch that would put must down if it hits them the same way Khan took it. Garcia only has that punch, he can be got at easily as Khan showed and someone is going to put this guy down. Erik Morales was way past it, Manny knocked him out twice in a row. Garcia is taking on Zab Judah next, what Judah's done to deserve a title shot is anyone's guess, I don't see how beating nobodies (The guy he beat was also a pothead) get's him a title shot. That being said, Khan should be in line should he beat Molina, more like when he beats Molina
Media & Khan have been very clever in attempting to make people think Molina actually has a chance, whilst anything can happen they've hidden the fact that Molina has done nothing major in his career, he's fought 17 bums, has minimal punching power and is handpicked. The fight is a straight copy of the Salita fight he took in Newcastle. Molina has never went 12 rounds and is used to 4-8.
Winner - Khan (TKO, probably with the first punch) Media hypes it up but the bookies know just as I do that this is going to be a one sided demolition, Khan is at 1/16 for the win.

Re: Boxing 2012
On second though of the above, Their is a chance Khan may keep Molina in the ring just to show he can stick to a game plan. Comes off recent news he'll stop going for early knockouts.
Whilst I'd love a one punch fight stopper I guess I have to agree with Virgil's way of training him. If Khan knocks him out with the first punch of the night, what's he learnt or gained?

Re: Boxing 2012
Well it was a very one sided fight as Knan wins by 10th round retirement by Molina.

Yes it will be interesting to see who his next fight is against.

Re: Boxing 2012
Molina took a lot of blows and still stood but a K.O was just waiting to happen. Good to see he got pulled before damage was done. On Khan, I don't know. He's quick and all but his game needs to be worked on. He has to step up. He leaves himself open as he did last night. Any other fighter, decent fighter that is, would have picked him off as it has been the case many times before. I hope his new trainer can sort him out.
All the fights in the early hours were decent. That young guy, Silva is it? done really well. He looks a real prospect, only 20 too.

Re: Boxing 2012
Much as a I predicted but the truth is, Khan could have put him out in the 1st if he'd went for it, but like I went over he went out to prove he could execute a solid gameplan and force the guy to go out on his own accord.

The question is has he improved for going to a new trainer?.
