Is Maidana becoming the most over-rated puncher since Jeff Lacy?
Maidana had an off night. Not all athletes are perfect. They don't always get their A-game. It happens. Plus style make the fight.Quote:

I'm 7-0 in sig/name change bet. And I still feel lucky bud. ;)
I don't care how big, how fast, how skillful Khan is. He's still have tendency to exchange. I saw that in his last 2 fights. He's lucky he fought Paulie who can't punch for shit. And now he's fighting Chino the jawbreaking monster.
The only way Maidana lose this fight if he runs out of gas by chasing Khan all night. But I doubt that will happen.
I strongly feel that that's a good thing for Maidana against Khan.
Maidana has been able to pretty much put every opponent on their ass once in their fights if not knock em out, with the exception of kotelnik. Let's face it Amir Khan isn't really mister iron chin so if maidana can connect cleanly a few times, or maybe even once, Amir is going down. Question is will he be able to connect, props to Amir taking this fight! Was kind of crap seeing him fight over the hill legends and nonpunching lt welters. I'm thinking mid round stopage for maidana, but then Amir could also completely outbox maidana over 12 who knows. Just hoping its a good fight and may the best man win.
Same thoughts here. Either Maidana by KO, or Khan by UD.Quote:

I see it the same way. It's actually a fairly decent fight. Malignaggi is smart, but can't punch and was too small to get close, Salita was shit and Kotelnik thought he was Clottey until the 12th.Quote:

This is much more like it. Stoppage for Maidana or Khan is able to stay on the outside and work a dull decision. You would have to think Maidana is able to bring more than the others though.
At the risk of sounding totally gay I think Amir is Britains best looking boxer since Joe Calzaghe. Do you remember when he used to have that pudding bowl haircut, he may not have got a good media advisor to counsel him on his twitter and texting behaviour but he's definitely hired a better hairdresser.
