Why Amir Khan has been 're-programmed' for Terence Crawford fight
Amir Khan’s trainer Virgil Hunter claims he has had to “re-programme” him for Saturday’s showdown with Terence Crawford.
“Focus is his main Achilles heel,” he said. “I used to tell him all the time, ‘I shouldn’t have to re-programme you every time you came back to camp’. I had to re-programme him when it should all have sunk in. “Amir has a wandering mind in the gym if you don’t constantly give him the focus. He can be shadow boxing and his mind can be a million miles away.Hunter has preached to Khan he needs to fight smarter as he gets older because he can no longer rely on his natural speed.
Although a southpaw, Crawford is just as comfortable fighting orthodox and land shots from seemingly-impossible angles.
