Amir Khan Suffers Troubling Loss

Amir Khan did some strange things in his loss to Danny Garcia.  He demonstrated he could out box Garcia easily and then started to let loose and take chances.  It eventually cost him the fight.  It's strange to see such a talented fighter not actually try to win.  Strategy, coaching, advice are all things Khan needs most at this time.  He needs a Floyd Mayweather like take no chances attitude towards boxing.  Khan is not a brawler.  He never was.  He needs to go back to the sweet science that got him to where he is.  He can out box just about anyone in the game and should put laser like focus on that and only that from now on.  With absolutely no exceptions, he needs to rely on his speed, timing and unmatched boxing skills if he expects to become a star like he always wanted to.
