Anticipation of Amir Khan's Speed, Crawford Use Pilot-style Training Method
United States Terence Crawford adopted an aircraft pilot-style training to anticipate the speed of Amir Khan's hand. Brian McIntyre, coach of Crawford, revealed that they made changes at the training camp of the WBO welterweight champion to ensure they could reduce the threat of Khan's speed.
Crawford faced Khan in the race for the WBO welterweight title at Madison Square Garden, New York, Saturday (04/20/2019) evening local time or Sunday (04/21/2019) morning starting at 08.00 WIB. Khan is famous for the speed and volume of his blows. , and Crawford designed an exercise to increase the reaction time. "We want to maximize Crawford's hand-eye coordination because Khan has a fast hand," McIntyre told metro.co.uk.
"We just want to make it a little more vigilant. Exercise with a small light that lights up and he must follow the flashing lights, just like what is usually done for pilots. "
" We have never done anything like that to prepare an opponent before and I have seen an increase in training like that. "
Bomack - McIntyre's nickname - made Crawford the world champion in three different divisions.
While Khan returned to former coach Virgil Hunter for his camp, Bomack believes the England coach will not bring Khan to victory against Crawford. "You ask me and I say Crawford will defeat Amir Khan," he said.
"However, if you listen to Virgil's interview, he is not even confident in Amir Khan. Am I right or wrong? Just listen to him. "
"Virgil was asked what Amir Khan needed to win and he said, 'prayer and luck'. I remember Amir Khan when he won a silver medal (2004 Athens Olympics) and then when he came here to fight. Khan fell in his final fight. "
" I began to notice him when he beat Zab Judah and Devon Alexander. I think this boxer is pretty good. I saw the speed of his hand. "
" But, he is not the same at this time. "He is slower and he fights more fear because he is afraid of being touched on his chin," concluded McIntyre. { SOURCE}
