he looked good, clean crisp punches, and worked the body nicely, honestly think he'll have Khan out of there before the 5th
maidana is hard hitting
I'd sure as hell like to watch it!Quote:

Him vs Khan would be a good, close blend of styles.
Maidana hits hard, fast and accurate, but is very open and does get knocked down easy. Knocked down, but not knocked out though!
For anyone who doesn't know who he is, watch this, it will make you want to watch his fights!:

Maidana is a pure brawler. I think a rematch with Ortiz would be more exciting than him fighting Khan.
Agree with you there. But Ortiz wouldn't fight him. He complained after the fight about how he wanted to preserve his looks! Didn't sound like he gave a shit anymore, if he went in to the ring then he'd get beat again as his head ain't where it should be.Quote:
