Khan should win this, but if Maidana can connect solidly it could get interesting.

Why would anybody fight in Detroit? Dirrell couldn't even fill the Joe Louis area...

Re: Khan v Maidana not in the UK now Vegas or Detroit
LOL reading back through this thread! I am trying to be more fair to Khan, but obviously that inner seething at the Barrera result is still lurking beneath. Might need to pay someone to help me out with that.

Re: Khan v Maidana not in the UK now Vegas or Detroit
Maidana isn't really that big of a deal. I know people want to see Khan against a puncher in hopes he'll be knocked out but Maidana is there to be outboxed and Khan could and should win about every round against him. Maidana is wild and can be outboxed, unless he connects with an unknown hailmary out of nowhere when Khan isn't set defensively he's going to lose about every round.
Someone like Bradley would be more of a challenge as he is smart aggression aside from just aggression like Maidana is.

Re: Khan v Maidana not in the UK now Vegas or Detroit
I've never really understood all the hate that's chucked in Khan's direction. People forget that he's still only 23 and yet has achieved quite a lot in the sport already. There's still a lot more to come from him too and I think he genuinely wants to fight the best out there. I'm pretty sure GDP are making most of the decisions on who he should be fighting to protect their interest. If this fight with Maidana happens I expect Khan will win and win quite comfortably. There's always a chance Maidana could land a big shot but I'm confident Khan will win almost every round, and who knows maybe get a late KO? I still don't think the hate will stop though. People will come up with excuses like Maidana was overrated or the usual rubbish people spout out after someone win's a lot easier than they thought or wanted. People just need to accept that Khan is a very talented boxer who can still get better.

I saw in the sun today that Frank Warren is offerng Khan the winner of Jennings/Brook with a six figure check if he takes it. My bet he doesnt and if he does i think its fair to say he's dodging Maidana!

Once this fight is official, people will have to stop knocking Khan, this is the fight everyone wanted him to take and it looks like he's taken it.
After this who really is there? Bradley, if he fights and beats him, people will have nothing they can say about him.
