Agreed. He fight's far too safe and obviously hates to mix it up too much. Stick him in with a hungry young puncher and you'll see another Maidana style showing. HBO seems obessed with promoting him, but I don't see the appeal really.Quote:

Oh Kellerman STFU! If you want to date Khan then send him a picture of your tackle and I'm sure he will oblige! :rolleyes:
Hope they both get knocked out double k.o. heheh.
Come on Paulie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Khan looks too quick. Paulie getting hit too often. Looks like its gonna be another terrible night
Paulie may have the chin advantage, he can take a good shot.
well i was falling asleep... woken right up now :)
Paulie looks like he's wasnt expecting this speed. Khan is looking quicker and sharper/
Paulie is winning the rounds now. May not be as awful as I 1st feared
Close but Paulie may have gotten the third. 2-1 Khan
Khan is just outworking with the jab. Paulie cant counter like he usually does. Khan almost shutting out Paulie.
Paulie needs to go for broke, but he doesn't have any fecking power. I'm sick of this Khan matchmaking bollocks.
Khan keeps this up he can stop Paulie. Nice jab working for him.
Khans hardly setting the world on fire with this display. Amercia wont want him back after this borefest. Truly awful fight
Malignaggi has no choice but to go toe to toe and try and walk khan down. Go down in flames rather than like this.
Going for broke to Paulie means break your hand. He's landed some nice shots before but I've never ever seen him hurt anyone really.Quote:

Paulie is a pussy lol.
good stoppage the corner should have pulled him out.
Fuck off, Malignaggi could have seen that out.
Stopped em, yes!
Beat him in the same round as a washed up Hatton stopped a younger Paulie. Crap fight. Khans got boring since he has been with Roach. He wont even take chances when he fights guys with zero power or ambition.
He fights like Wladimir Klitscho, just throws a little more.Quote:

Good performance from Amir Khan, but its hardly suprising to me. I told Bilbo Amir Khan would dominate Paulie Malignaggi.
Good stoppage. Just a textbook performance. The jab was brilliant.
One main thing i noticed in this fight is.... You could drive a bus through that gap in Khans dads teeth.
Well was the Katsidis fight any good at least?
Not really it was over pretty quick, its only worth watching the stoppage round.
Back to Sho box if your lucky...lol.
I feel sad for "Pauly"... TALKING is all that is mighty that's left of him, and even that, Amir had taken it away from him. KTFIR, the pipsqueak!
Although I had Malignaggi ahead on the card, I had a fiver on Khan to win in 11th so am pleased with the nights work
Let's see him in with Katsidis
On reflection Malignaggi is probably done at the top. He can't beat the top fighters without anything to keep them honest. I don't think Khan is anywhere near the level of a Hatton nor a Cotto, but he got the job done so fair play on that. I still can't stand him though and think there has been nothing but cheating and careful matchmaking that has kept him safe.
If they put him in with the best in the division, he falls short because they will rock him and regularly. Paulie was able to touch him when he wanted and Khan does leak a lot of punches. Paulie landed on no defence Hatton far less than on Khan. Others will have no problem cutting Khan off and punching between or under his high guard. Aside from good handspeed, Khan has no power. He won't be able to keep a good stalker at bay for long. The Hatton that fought Paulie flattens Amir Khan horribly.
It's the truth, dammit. Khan used his reach and utilized the jab and put on a decent, but workmanlike showing. It wasn't that impressive, I thought Hatton did it far more convincingly. Khan offered nothing to suggest to me that he would ever be a serious threat to Bradley in this division. Heck, even Ortiz would probably get through and stop him. Khan is all management and manipulation and you can label it hate (and I don't hide my dislike of him), but you all know it's true. I'm just less willing to give him a chance.
Just got back in from being the driver all day so I missed the fight.
I'll have to watch the replay. I want to see what Maggi had to say post fight. From what I'm reading it appears Khan had to do some chasing and fell behind. It doesn't sit too well for Roach as a Trainer if his fighter was behind against an outside boxer. What does it say about a Pac/Mayweather meeting?
No, Khan was never behind at any point. It was a brilliant performance, he gave Paulie a beating and a lesson.
Surely taking the piss here ???Quote:

Not only did Khan out-jab Paulie, he practically beat him up to the point where Paulie was scared to throw it any longer. I expected Khan to be a little more aggressive, but reading between the lines (comments in the post-fight interview) it sounds like Roach pretty much told him to hold back for most of the fight..
I think if it was Maidana, Khan would of won in even more impressive fashion. Paulie is a more technical fighter and has a better defense than Maidana so.. if Khan can technically dominate Paulie, and take very little punches, what does this do to Maidana's chances?
