- Khan still relies too much on his footwork for defense. He'd put his hands up at times Pacquiao style, and just like Pacquiao he'd get hammered with uppercuts. Where is the head movement? Counterpunching? He's got the best trainer and sparring partners in the world right? I personally got caught up in the "Khan is deveoping into a worldbeater" hype and unloaded big on Khan. I won but he doesn't impress me.
- Ortiz is stupid for not realizing that he is a beast at 140. He rehydrated to 154 I believe, and he has always shown bone crunching power, but yet he allows himself to get outboxed. Ortiz was at his best when he was a pure killer. I really do feel that Ortiz is one of the hardest lb-4-lb punchers in the sport.
- Lamont Peterson has 2 bad marks on his record but I think he has a complete game and can trouble ANYBODY at 140. Khans reach and speed would give him trouble though.
- I stated in another forum that I was going with all the favorites on HBO and Showtime to win their fights. Agbeko proved me wrong however. Agbeko last night versus Perez and last year versus Darchiniyan showed that in addition to great heart and conditioning, he has a great boxing IQ (lateral movement, counter-punching, shot selection, timing). I won't ever underestimate him again.
I hope others post their post-fight analysis as well so we can look back and make better decisions in the future.

He tends to get lazy defensively at times, which could prove a big problem against any big puncher. But credit where credit is due, I thought he was finished after the 7Th rd on Saturday. He showed a true boxers heart to be able to come back & win.
The worst over hyped defensive fighter to me is Chavez Jr. He's lucky Arum didn't let him fight Cotto or it would have been very ugly to watch him get destroyed.
