Khan looked exactly the same to me. I didn't really notice any improvements at all to be honest. He made all the same mistakes where he just flurries with shots and leaves himself wide open. Just this time he was up against a smaller and not very good (but tough) guy. If he was against a Maidana, Peterson or Garcia (hell maybe even Prescott still) I think Khan would've lost last night.

But it was his first fight back since a big KO loss and he's only had one training camp with Virgil Hunter. So perhaps there's still time to iron out the flaws but I'm not convinced.

Unfortunately I think he'll lose badly again within the next 2 or 3 fights (unless he's kept away from the top competition which I doubt).

Yeah I agree one of the few noticeable improvements I saw were the fact he was more calm and wasted less energy than usual.

It will take time for any new changes to be seen but I'm sceptical to how big they can be, I'd always pick Garcia to stop Khan.

@Holmes You realise that Warren didn't invent shit title defences and that REAL world titles were milked way before the invention of the alplabets?

On a slightly seperate note, it's really annoying the way that Eddie Hearn gets bummed and Warren gets chastised for setting up essentially the same level of fights. It's like people are predisposed to hating Warren regardless of what he does, but 'Nice Guy' Eddie comes along and all of a sudden boxing is saved.

In the cheap seats last night with a neighbour and his coastguard workmates. Well worth 30 bucks! Toyota Center is a cracking little arena. Great view!

Surely the cheap seats were all the freebies they gave out.

Depends. A lot of the time its the cheap seats and inner ringside that DO sell. The cheap ones on price, ringside because there arn't many of them.

Did they say in the broadcast they gave out a lot of freebies? Houston got a lot of Hispanics so not sure if they would have.

The section that had the most spaces was the 100 buck one. I would have been pissed if I had went there as they weren't any better than where I was!

The few times he was pinned down by Molina, he showed he has been working on his inside game. Instead of just standing there and letting his opponent tee off before he spins away, he actually threw some punches!!

Other than that, he didn't really show any really noticeable changes. He was more composed with his movement in both defence and attack, but you can't really tell if that was down to new things being implemented or his opponent (mixture of both, IMO).

Donaire was great. A show of how to totally shutdown an active aggressive fighter. Picked him apart.
