haha I wouldn't go that far :D
It was like watching someone on ice skates for the first time those last few rounds, I am utterly amazed he managed to survive.
Please Amir, don't have a fucking rematch!
Maidana was too eager and smothered his work. I do want to see a rematch because I think Maidana will knock him out.
But fair play to Khan, he got through it. He won't next time.
I think he's going to fight the winner of Bradley/Alexander next. I would rather see that because it would be to see who is the lineal champ of the division.

If it's Bradley, I think Khan wins. However, I think Alexander has the tools to stop him (Khan that is, I expect Bradley to beat ALexander).

What I meant was he took some clean shots and stayed on his feet/wobbley legs, if you'd have asked me would he have done that before the fight I'd have said no way!
Look it's obviously not advisable for him to stand toe to toe with someone with power
but he stayed in there and he should get credit for it, even if it's just for surviving...
That's true. He survived and had banked enough early on.
You do what you have to do and he got the win. Nobody is screaming robbery so that's fair enough. But I do disagree with the point deduction and do think Cortez was interfering far too much. If you can't use the elbow then you shouldn't be allowed to hold. Hatton wasn't allowed to so why was it okay for Khan?
Firm but fair, my arse! Cortez needs a good pitchforking.
Re: GR8 Britain vs The World - Khan v Maidana - Chisora v Klitschko..... etc
I agree he'd be better with a better chin. But its not all about that. He's just got too much nervous energy. He comes unglued too much. When do you ever see Floyd come unglued? He's always in control of himself. Or even Manny? I agree with Bilbo about the Jermain Taylor thing and chin doesn't have anything to do with.
He's a must watch though. Partially because he's too wild for his own good.
Re: GR8 Britain vs The World - Khan v Maidana - Chisora v Klitschko..... etc
What a fight. I seriously think they both brought out the best in one another and worked out a potential GFOY bout, fosho. Great heart and determination from both fighters.
Amir flaunted his chin all night, he must of been banging it against steel since his fight with Prescott. ;D

I really can't see how anybody can't be a fan. Sure he says some silly things at times, and he's a phone sex pest. But I can appreciate all of those attributes.
He was really really good tonight. How he got through that 10th round I'll never know, it was like watching a spider being washed down a sink and just bobbing over the plug hole refusing to go under, legs splaying everywhere, but he stayed up and imo even won the 11th and almost had Maidana out in the 12th in the dying seconds.
Great fight, he fought and beat a puncher. I hope he doesn't face another one for a while.

Yeah man, I agree. I felt like Cortez was bein' Khan's "Superman" when Maidana was layin' the law on Khan in round 10.

Yeah I was on my feet at that point and for the rest of the round. There's inspirational moments throughout a boxing match ( a boxing match is an inspirational moment within itself), but that was extraordinary.
Re: GR8 Britain vs The World - Khan v Maidana - Chisora v Klitschko..... etc
I thought Maidana was out of line not touching gloves at opening. Don't know what Freddy was telling him, but I think he fukd up not going after the body.

Yeah I was really wanting him to get Ko'd brutally after that bitch move.
Re: GR8 Britain vs The World - Khan v Maidana - Chisora v Klitschko..... etc
Right? I was a tad heated at the fact that Maidana didn't touch gloves with Khan the entire fight when Khan offered that respect. I guess its just Maidana's "out to kill, no mercy" style.

It was a great round. I went mental. I stood straight up and threw the chair I was sitting on to the ground. I had been quite calm apart from shouting obscenities at Joe Cortez, but that round pushed me over the edge.
That's what boxing is all about and it was all Maidana. He finished the fight the winner in my eyes. Forget the scorecards and the sportsmanship, he made the impact with his punches. He was gradually taking away Amir Khan's heart and soul.
Immediate rematch!

That was amazing. Despite the fact that Khan's energy and confidence soared after that 1st round drop, Maidana still gradually brought Khan right back down to earth with his pressure and beastliness; that right was like a hook from hell in R10. Honestly, I'd watch two of'em fight each other
again anytime.
Best evenly matched fight between two opposing style fighters I've seen in long time.

He won the fight and for that I have to give him credit. However, it is Maidana's onslaught down the stretch that has etched itself into my mind most of all.
It was a really enjoyable fight, though Cortez once again tried his best to spoil it.
