Thread: well KHAN sure knows how to RUN... Run Khan Run....that's what I learned tonight.

Another Golden Boy runs in the ring. Not convinced of anything. Khans a bitch, and all ball suckers will come to his rescue here.

Well I will be glad to field this statement for most of the saddoians.

You are a moron if that is all you learned tonight from this possible FOTY. Khan fought an amazing fight, and managed to stay away from what would be his undoing... a large left hand from Maidana.
When you stay away from an opponent and land punches, that is what is known as boxing. Khan did this well, yes, but he also throws many many meaningful punches with vicious intent. I think he blends a strong counter punching style and great footwork. He has phenomenal punch speed, which he used almost all night to get Maidana off of him.

Khan is not pansy, he worked his ass off for his victory and I was not really a big fan of his to start with. My hat goes off to him tonight for his resounding victory, and his testament to the boxing world that his chin may be a little suspect, but his heart and determination are going to be there.

Khan got the win, but the hero of the night was Maidana. He was not only fighting Khan, but fighting Cortez as well. He got up off the floor, got himself back together and turned the fight around. If it was a 15 rounder, Khan would have been wasted.

The point deduction was bogus and Khan was allowed to hold on throughout the entire championship rounds. Some of those rounds were so one sided, you could argue that the fight should have been stopped or at the least be given to Maidana 10-8.

Rematch! Khan did what we usually see, quick flurries and then a lot of running about. Maidana came to fight and at the end of the day, his stock has risen. He finished the fight the far fresher of the two. Khan was practically begging for Cortez to help him and for them to hurry the clock.

We've now seen what happens when Khan faces a puncher. He wilts and unfortunately Maidana wasn't composed enough to give himself space. He will do it better next time.

No they weren't! Only the 10th I believe it was could have been 10-8. Khan actually did more in the 11th and 12th. Maidana was just walking forward not doing anything. Khan did occasionally come out of his shell and throw and land multiple combinations. Even Roy Jones thought Khan could knock Maidana out in those rounds, he kept saying he was just one body shot away from finishing him.

Both were exhausted, but obviously Khan a prior history of weakness and so we were all more focused on him. But there was only one round you could argue might have been 10-8, the other two you could even make a case for Khan winning them.

Yeah it wasn't bogus at all. He tried to elbow him. Was his own daft fault.

Has there ever been a point deduction for an attempted foul ? i can't remember one in recent memory. Just an interesting question if someone can answer it.

Miles is a fool, he talks about being this good guy, pleasant shit but he backs Maidana up on this shit. Maidana clearly acted like a prick. I like him before this fight now I want somebody to knock his bitch ass out. He threw that fxcking elbow intentionally and thats why he didnt say shit after Cortez deducted a point.

haha that is true, Miles is all against standing up against foul play and enforcing strict professional, honest conduct with integrity except when it comes to people he doesn't like.

Trying to elbow Amir in the face right in front of the referee is fine. Students smashing up government propery over fees protests is an acceptable expression of anger, and Palestians hurling stones at Israeli cars, or missles as Israeli towns is again no less than they deserve.

Amir winning a fight against a cut Barrera was a moral outrage however and an example of all that is bad in boxing and the world..

Seconded!

I still don't know how Bilbo scored the 11th or the 12th for Khan, a shoeshine here and there doesn't win a round. But they weren't 10-8 rounds. Round 10 was but that's about it.

Maidana didn't really do anything in the 11th. He shot his bolt in the 10th. He kept coming forward but the only decent punches landed were by Amir. Watch it again.

I have no intention of watching it again Maidana never lands that clean but he landed his usual rights to the back of the head and uppercuts. Khan just tried to stay on his feet and moved and held and threw the occasional flurry. He just tried to survive the 11th. There's a better case for the 12th but there he mainly just tried to steal it with a flurry at the end.

He was also nowhere near stopping Maidana at any point in those two rounds. Roy is technically right that a body shot could have stopped him at any point but for some reason Khan just didn't throw enough body shots after that first round.

In all honesty I'd like to see a rematch. But its a fight Khan SHOULD easily win if he just keeps things tighter.

Perhaps you should watch it again. There's no way Khan won 11th or 12th. Maidana won 10-12 clearly.
