GR8 Britain vs The World - Khan v Maidana - Chisora v Klitschko..... etc

finally caught him with something he didn't see coming.

I know Miles is pissed. Cause Cortez did seem hella quick breaking them up at times.

What a round, how is Khan still in there? Amazing stuff, come on Amir!

Is Khan going to survive these last 3 mins?

Holy fuck! HOw did Khan survive that. He's done next round if Maidana didn't punch himself out (which I'd wager he did).

I have just thrown over the chair I was sitting on. What a fucking round!

fair enough though he stayed on his feet.

10-8 round for Maidana, either Khan is finished and can't recover. Or Maidana has blown his load i can't tell which way its going go.

how much u think that point deduction going to affect the decision...lol

Stop trying to touch gloves Amir!!

:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o

Maidana just needs to go for broke here...

Khan won the 11th

The difference between Khan on the attack and Khan on the defence makes him so good to watch. Awesome fight!

He's acting like this is a sparring session with that shit.

WTF Khan you come out to tap gloves in the 11th round after he refused to tap in the first?

LOL he even tried a mini tap gloves during the middle of the round.

Maidana's chance is catching him with a right while he's moving to the left. These pushed uppercuts are not going to get a 12th round stoppage.

No Maidana won that round but he should have gone for it. He needs to just go for it and sell his soul this round.

I had given Khan every credit in the world for taking the fight. And for sure he has courage and heart. Unlike guys like Milmascaras and hornfinger I never called the kid a coward and after tonights performance he surely isn't.

LOL - Cortez is funny, he held their hand to touch gloves

that was amazing!

A little disappointing from Khan in the end but that was a really good fight.

FOTY!

Great fight, I want a rematch.

Khan should win, but the questions about him linger. I really think BIlbo's Jermaine Taylor comparison is perfect.

Cortez should be taken out to pasture. That was dreadful.

Regardless I kind of like Khan. Heart and balls arent' his problem. Too much nervous energy and a tendency to get wild are.

Agreed. And I'm pretty sure Miles would have rooted for Khan if he was Palestinian.;D

I just think he was so dazed and confused he had no idea what he was doing. How he survived that I do not know. He was out on his feet for about 4 rounds ;D

Yep or Iranian.

What a performance. Rematch! I think Khan probably gets away with that one. I think both guys deserve a beer after that one. Maidana took some massive shots, as did Khan. Thought we might have a quick night after Round 1, and thought a KO was imminent at least four or five times during the fight too.

He definitely won the fight. Hope he doesn't get robbed. Maidana is a fucking beast though.

Maidana smothered his work he should of finished him, good performance from Khan regarding heart and will. But i still think the big boys will beat him, and i don't even know if he would take Prescott in a rematch to be honest.

I think he's used to getting buzzed by Pacquiao and was responding as he would in that case.

Khan did nothing but hold in the final 4 rounds. In fact he should have been warned for it and some of those rounds were so dominant that Maidana should have 10-8 rounds in his favour.

Cortez should be taken out by Mossad.

THey can't rob him, Maidana lost two points b/c of the KD and Cortez.

There needs to be a rematch.

I didn't really score it. I thought Maidana won the last three rounds with a 10-8 but not sure how many other than that. I'm sure Khan will get the decision.

Crackin fight, happy to stay up and watch something of that quality.

Khan moreorless punch perfect the 1st 8/9 rounds, interesting end and definitely showed he can stand up to some power now.

Khan has NUTS!

How can you not love Amir Khan seriously. He just became my favourite fighter tonight.

People demanded he fought a puncher. He fought the best one in the divison and he went to war.

All heart.

He probably has brain damage now but that amazing.

Fight of the Year hands down for me. That was the most nerve jangly fight since Frank Bruno managed to survive and win a heavyweight title at the 19th attempt against Oliver McCall.

It looks like your pictures froze during a clinch, because I saw him go from shaky, to rattling Maidana, to shaky, and back to rattling Maidana again.

Khan makes for great viewing, he's vulnerable enough to get rattled, but Roach has got him able to overcome being rattled, and survive. Just.

I wouldn't mind sitting through that again, Maidana did well in the closing rounds so would be interesting to see him start that a lot earlier.

Khan. He survived one monstrous right hand. Got to give it to him he won that fight.

Maidana didn;t sound too eager to fight Khan again, but I think he's just pissed because he feels he got robbed.

Did Khan earn some respect from those of you who actively root against him?

He tried to start early, he buzzed Khan with his first shot. However, Khan fucked him for a round and a half with that body shot and he wasn't able to land regularly until Khan slowed down.

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!
