Amir Khan and Freddie Roach Media Workout NYC 5/11/10

[cypresscoach]

Hit mute, and it's not a bad video.

[rootiest]

im just as fast and powerful as him (for the first minute of a round)

[zagabel]

the move at 2:34 is a good one. I see it get done a lot in fights.

[codeman95291]

there's a good chance he'll fight mayweather in 2012

[OverflowC]

does anyone think amirs legs are too far apart?

[abuubayd]

@OverflowC well dont know bout that but they are a bit skinny...but i guess he needs to make the weight with that height...

[chinamonk]

wtf is he doing hitting freddie so hard WTF!!

[70gabino]

Why do so many people make such a big deal out of ONE loss? Anyone stop to think that because there's so much emphasis on a loss that it makes fighters wary of taking risks because they think a loss will make them fall off the radar?

[what2086]

i wonder if freddy roach has ever been accidently hit by manny or khan since their so fast..

[maju786]

@what2086 yh i've seen manny hit him and he always says sorry LOL.

[MysteryoftheGods]

00:43 all of a sudden Khan goes limp. Little did the guy know he broke his neck >.>

[paperandtea]

freddie roack know boxing like the back off his hand,he lives and breathes the sport,amir khan and panni pacquio have the fastest hand in the world man

[hamza1991]

Lol at the Youtube warriors below. Idiots.

[juant25]

Khan is overrated. I heard Jose Benavidez jr gave him a hard time in a sparring session.

[Ronz93]

@juant25 khan gave pac a hard fucking time so yeh pac is overated too init! u dumbass its called sparring

[oasis4ever92]

@gmc5times1 goodbye sir

[oasis4ever92]

@gmc5times1 my point is ricky is doing something about it. i doubt you're perfect...in fact i know you aren't you cunt, and ricky has admitted to his mistakes and will come through them...thats my point, now seriously, that is my last message to you so there is no point replying, if you want to argue, send me a private message because we are looking like cunts arguing over youtube

[oasis4ever92]

@gmc5times1 the dangerous driving incident was a couple of years ago now...but now he needs to sort his attitude out. Khan will never, and i stress NEVER have 25,000/30,000 people go half way around the world to watch him fight...he couldnt even do that in this country! hahahahaha fuck you

[oasis4ever92]

@gmc5times1 my hero is in rehab sorting his problem out...your hero mr khan injuried people and could have killed people in dangerous driving. it is also only a matter of time until maidana lands a shot on amirs chin, and then its night night. He isn't illusive enough, it's not his style to not mix it up. He won't be able to resist it.

Also on your point about if Hatton had fought Tszyu 3 years earlier...its easy tp fucking say that now but at the time no one gave Rick a chance,and he did it

[oasis4ever92]

@gmc5times1 kostya tszyu = supream boxer/counter puncher hatton = brawler

brawler won

fuck off now mate im bored of you

[oasis4ever92]

@gmc5times1 ok first let me attempt to get past you chav-like language "job on son" being a key example, to ask you what that last bit meant? I didn't understand your point there at all about pompey and chelsea...and other than that you have no valid grounds for your argument khan would destory ricky hatton...hatton = 2weight 4 time world champ...khan, 1 time world champion...

[oasis4ever92]

@gmc5times1 no dickhead, you aren't right, im from portsmouth, dont particularly like man city and obviously not a mancunian...so you got that fucking wrong didn't you.

how was tszyu washed up when he was ranked number 2 in the pound for pound rankings at the time?

maybe hatton wasnt at the very best, but to be honest that wasnt even your point! you started talking about amir khan and when i made the correct point you started slagging off ricky, fuck off now im bored of you

[oasis4ever92]

@gmc5times1 right firstly, im struggling to understand wha you're saying, your english is awful.

secondly what are you basing that on? who has Amir beat who's top world class? Barera wasn't and has never been a lightweight so that one doesn't count.

Ricky bet Kostya Tszyu, Luiz Collazo and was ring magazines fighter of the year in 2005 so... no amir would not destory Hatton

[Ronz93]

@oasis4ever92 khans 23 with 23 fights..he's beaten paulie who hatton fought recently,kotelnik who beat devon and wud counter the shit out of hatton and got rid of his mandatory challenger who was undefeated like peterson n abregu! he ddnt become mandatory for nothing,he beat a good fighter to claim his spot.what was hatton doing at that time??oh yeh he was fighting for british titles and getting wobbled! khan was a drained 135er forget aboput gomez n limond..cotto was gettin hutrt by nonpunchrs

[oasis4ever92]

@Ronz93 listen mate you've made a lot of inaccurate and irelivent points there.

1) Paulie is not a top world class fighter

2) Kotelnik LOST to Devon Alexander.

3) Hatton did it the proper way and won the british title (a title which khan never went for...avoiding john murray)

4)Ricky was knocked down against hard hitting Eammon Magee, other than that he was never knocked down or even hurt before Mayweather

5) Kotelnik wouldnt go the distance with Ricky

6)Gomez and Limmond exposed Khan!

[Ronz93]

@oasis4ever92 wat r u talkin about?ricky wud stop kotelnik?r u on drugs?ricky isnt a powerpuncher ,he has the same pop as khan,he's just very aggressive thats what makes him look somewhat powerfull..lmao john murray?pls dnt even go there?honesly do u even think john has a 10% chance against khan now? cotto was gettinh hurt by non punchers at 140, and then he fights pnchers like mosely n pac,judah,margarito! khans fighting maidana on th dec 11..its happening for real

[Ronz93]

@oasis4ever92 kotelnik beat devon by 9-7 roundsstaggering him with combos! i recorded the fight on hd! u just hate 2 admit that khan has the potential 2 become a great p4p fighter! he's learning so quickly..hatton,murray,mitchel­l are 1 dimensional fighters who can only fight 1 type of opp! khan comes in with a different game plan every fight! againts barrera he looked like floydvmarquez, against kotenlik he fought a kotelnik style fight himself! against paulie he used smart passive aggression

[oasis4ever92]

@Ronz93 the fact is Devon Alexander won the fight

AND fine, if they are so one dimentional why didn't amir face them? Ricky is retired now so you can forget about that. But John Murray was british champion while Amir was Commonwealth. Murray wanted the fight!

Khan has the potential to do very well, but he needs to be tested before i get so excited about him. He could maybe unify the belts at light-welterweight because without Hatton it is a division with average champions and no star appeal.

[Ronz93]

@oasis4ever92 omg wat did u say?without hatton the division is what?? 140 is known as the most exciting and toughest division because all the top young potentially p4p fighters are there,bradley,khan,devon,ortiz­,maidana being the young and up n coming..hatton wudve made the division even more tough yes sure but he'd get beat by bradley,maidana,devon n khan..hatton never had star appeal,he fought a very fundamentally unsound fight everytime and was n accident waiting to happen,he's not a boxer

[Ronz93]

@oasis4ever92 forget hatton now hes past! lets focus on khanv maidana in dec! its gna be fireworks!

[oasis4ever92]

@Ronz93 IF it happens

[Ronz93]

@oasis4ever92 very likely to happen in dec! i dnt mind seeing it after dec aswell cos i know khan beats pretty handily,khan wll do what ortiz,cayo n kotelnik nevere did and had the abilty to do..the only way khan loses is maybe in the late rnds if khan gets tired n maidana has enough left in the tank n tries 2 press the fight desperatelywhich is unlikely cos khan is a very busy fighter who has pin pont accurate punches..he will land whatever he throws at maidana n overwhelm him for a stoppage

[Juandan59]

It seems anyone criticizing Khan is a Khan hater,

Any non-positive Khan comments are racist.

I don’t like Khan, I don’t hate Khan I just think he’s Vastly overrated, has no chin, has no power at this level, he still fights like an amateur, throwing lots of powder puff punches, he won’t face any fighter he considers dangerous, if roach really thought Khan could handle Bradley, roach would have Khan fighting Bradley next, not a lightweight?

[Ronz93]

@Juandan59 no power?? khan has the same power as hatton,hatton showed it becaue of his relentless aggression! khan is a boxer,a timer! devon aint no puncher so how did he ko urango??

[oasis4ever92]

@Juandan59 no not true.

my views on Amir Khan are that he is a world class fighter with world class vulnerabilities. Even now he drops his hands every now and again. He lunges in with punches. And is occasionally open to a quick over hand right...and obviously the fragile chin he is plagued with.

I think Amir is getting a bit ahead of himself, and had he faced Ricky Hatton, it would have been his 2nd defeat. these views of mine are not based on anything except his boxing ability

[Ronz93]

@oasis4ever92 khan wud murder hatton! what r u on! khan is a beast at 140,khan is the most defensive out of bradley,devon,ortiz n maidana..he only made 3-4 mistakes in that fight with paulie and bradley n devon make 100 per round! khan keeps his hands up more than kotelnik u mug! what r u watchin?? u joker! hatton pssht!

[Ronz93]

@oasis4ever92 he is a legitimate world class fighter with only one weakness,(chin! he aint open 2 no shots! maidana cant make him pay,ortiz,devon arent really the finished article either! bradley cant reach khan with his overhand right cos he has 68 reach n khanhas a72 reach,barrera had a70 inch reach n he couldnt catch khan..khans jabs are too fast for bradley to counter bak with his signagture counter right! styles make fights n khan v bradley is like khan at the ams! toofast n too good

[oasis4ever92]

@Ronz93 it's got nothing to do with reach, Ricky Hatton would have had no problem getting rid of Khan and he has a shorter reach. It's not about reach its about timing, if anyone threw the right hand at the right time then you know it's going to trouble Khan.

He is unproven at world level, because let's face facts, Malignaggi has no power and no head movement, Salita was a joke of a challenger, Kotelnik is ok but a basic fighter, an older Marco Antonio Barrera who is NOT a lightweight

[Ronz93]

@oasis4ever92 keep saying barreras a shitty lightweight,remember he only put on 5 lbs mate! and thats when khan was coming off a brutal ko loss..how about when the great floyd made marquez move up 2 147 which is12 pounds in weight? i rate khan more than anyone in this game cos he is fearless n takes chances,he will fight anyone but he is just a smart fighter and has to think about lasting in the game n not ending up like lacy,peterson n ortiz! haton has no timing,kotlenik wud beat him handily

[Ronz93]

@oasis4ever92 look yeh! hatton is a great stepping stone type of fighter..he's only there to test guys like khan,devon n bradley..maidanan will crush him i swear to god! hatton assumes he was the best 140 pounder and that time it was a dry weight with not much talent..now its like (hagler/devon)(hearns/khan)lea­nord/bradley/khahn)(duran/maid­ana)..khan will unify the toughest divison thats something hatton was afraid to do!

[flatpat]

Who's the asshole that asks Khan how can he handle Malignaggi's speed? Khan was so dumbfounded he replied " ah ah". Khan is arguably the fasted guy in boxing right now. Even if that idiot Malignaggi lover didn't know that, how the hell did he not know Khan was twice as fast as Paulie?

[ballerketballer]

LISTEN ALL HATERZ

2:12 tell me which boxer can do that, other than pacman n mosley, mayweather fast but his a single quick hitter, can will kill maidana,

go khan,

big up respect to the wild card gym, and bredrin freddy

[payaso64]

they need to put this punk with a rooster not no punk like him lol

[lgfrogs]

amir khans a great fighter,he has got great movement,would be good if he took up MMA (mixed martial arts) muay-thai,Brazilian ju-jitsu,etc

he would be a good cage-fighter with his boxing skills,most boxers have made it in the UFC.

[lgfrogs]

Amir khans got great movement,it would be great if he took up muay-thai,BJJ as well as MMA (mixed martial arts).

Maybe Cage-fighting,most boxers have done well in the UFC world.Amir khan is a great fighter.

[mire74]

@BUBLOOGABLOO haha well spotted.

[hamza1991]

lightning fast hand speed right there. probably just as fast as pac

[olivetribe]

@hamza1991 nope his 5% more faster

[royroyboxing]

@hamza1991 no he's faster. Pac and Holloway both said he's the fastest fighter they have shared the ring with.

[BUBLOOGABLOO]

Lol! Englands American is here! 0:05 :)

[ZMorpheus]

poor freddie. is that even healthy with his parkinson's

[PakiPlayb0y]

Freddie Roach IS THE BEST COACH IN THE WORLD!!! PERIOD.

I wanna see Floyd Mayweather vs Amir........ that will be some crazy fight.........

[jayalakshmi1008]

@PakiPlayb0y are you serious,,or you just rooting for him because you bias. first of all,,mayweather will destroy khan,second of all khan has to prove himself to fight mayweather..

[primeraprim]

@PakiPlayb0y wow !! u got some Imagination ?? khan vs money !!

[ferrit22]

@PakiPlayb0y floyd v khan will never happen for the simple fact khans not at that stage in his career yet and mayweather will probaly retire if he fights manny later on this year

[soopafob]

oooh cool there at trinity !!!!

[soopafob]

holyshit amirs gonna kill this punk in front of his own turf!!!

[primeraprim]

theres only one fight i want khan to take !! and thats khan vs gamboa !!! thats all i have to say !!!

[durz008]

@primeraprim GAMBOA?? YOU MEAN YURI?...MAN THEY ARE NOT THE SAME DIVISION..!

[primeraprim]

@durz008 freddie loves catch weights ,so why not fight at a catch weight khan fought barrera at 135lb and gamboa has fought as heavy as 133lb , if they wanted to they could both fight at 135lb . but it looks like khan is looking for Maidana at 140lb ,..who has already lost Andriy Kotelnik who has beat ,so idont get that fight ?? khan should call out bradly who beat uk witter.

[cdnp4p]

@primeraprim Khan will steamroll through Maidana. Maidana can crack but thats it. Hes a limited fighter. He did call out Bradley and Alexander. Problem is they are going to fight each other and the winner of that will face the winner of Khan/Maidana.

[primeraprim]

@cdnp4p sorry my bro but i never said khan would not beat maidana as maidana hAS already lost to Kotelnik who khan beat ?? i carnt see the point to fight maidana!! it seems to me its like the man from del monte is saying its time to do some cherry picking like all the warren showdowns or all the joe caz or pacman fights !!

[cdnp4p]

@primeraprim Well Maidana is coming off a win over Victor Ortiz who just dominated Nate Campbell who is a top-tier LW. Maidana is right now among the best at 140. So I dont know who else Khan could fight because we already know he will fight the winner of Bradley/Alexander.

Khan has most certainly cherry picked as has Calzaghe but in this instance hes doing what hes supposed to do. Hes calling out the top fighters.

[Ronz93]

@primeraprim khan beats maidana to the punch n beats bradley but devon is truly the hardest fight for khan,reason being is because of devons stance,that guy is a quick southpaw whos hungry n fresh! that fight would b a split decision 4 either man or devon by late stoppage! i rate khan as the 2nd-3rd best lw in the divison! khan vbradley,devon are very skillfull maidana n ortiz are the young punchers who dont have n cant cope with skillfull opp!

[primeraprim]

@Ronz93 great comment bro !! ronz what about khan vs katsidis ?? kats is a real hard brawler !! not a great boxer but great fighter !! that would be a lovely fight to see kats would put the pressure on khan and kats can take a punch. im not putting khan down but what has he really done a old barrera,salita, a faded paper bag puncher paulie !! devon or bradley would in my eyes would go in for the kill against khan and would tko khan !! or stop him !!

[primeraprim]

@Ronz93 ronz we all know roach and his cherry picking with pac !! thats why he wants maidana next !! i dont rate maidana and i know roach wants this fight coz he knows khan can beat him !! lets do it this way get Amir Khan in this and we're talking about fireworks.

Khan vs Alexander

Bradley vs Maidana

Winners fight, then losers fight.

[Ronz93]

@primeraprim yeh khan stops katsidis early,if not then his in trouble..khan is at a healthier weight now,we all could see the difference,usually when fighters move up,u cud tell..khan is much taller than mitchell,has a longer reach! throws flurrys u cant see..he loves 2 throw the 1,2(the shot casamyor put kats down with) khan has more power at 140..its hard 2 call cos kats is a type of fighter 1 needs 2 beat 2 head 2 greatness,devon n bradley would be in deep trouble against someone like kats..

[Ronz93]

@primeraprim styles make fights man n if people think maidana is that good than theyre blind..maidana has very slow reactions,he respond after taking 2-3 shots if not he'll cover up,he gets confused with fighters who use angles..cayo hardly did but u cud see if cayo had his hands up n jabd more often n moved abit more,he wouldv 1 it..he fought like ortiz thinkin hed take maidana out..prescott is more dangerous than maidana for khan cos prescott counters back immedieatly

[Ronz93]

@primeraprim prescott ko'd khan with a counter that khan ddnt see coming n while he was off balance..watch it urself, same with urango when he got stopped by devon who isnt a big puncher! that chin thing is being taken way out of line cos watch when he surprises u man! i cud see khan boxing maidanas head off n even tradin with him at times looking the stronger man! maidanas shots are very predictable n u cud see it coming..u cant knock someone out when they know ur about 2 unload!

[sajnotts]

lmfao @ 1:55

[drench121]

khan punching harder than pac well freddie feelin it more to handle anyway

[BlindLemonJaffaCake]

Amir has very fast punches, he hits really hard too.

[jakedin123]

thansk for top video

[maju786]

[FighterSpirito]

[HEAVENMYMUSIC7]

AMIR WILL DESTROY PAULIE

[mutchie6g]

[odin422]

Roach earns that money from his padwork.
