well KHAN sure knows how to RUN... Run Khan Run....that's what I learned tonight.
Another Golden Boy runs in the ring. Not convinced of anything. Khans a bitch, and all ball suckers will come to his rescue here.

Re: well KHAN sure knows how to RUN... Run Khan Run....that's what I learned tonight.
Well I will be glad to field this statement for most of the saddoians.
You are a moron if that is all you learned tonight from this possible FOTY. Khan fought an amazing fight, and managed to stay away from what would be his undoing... a large left hand from Maidana.
When you stay away from an opponent and land punches, that is what is known as boxing. Khan did this well, yes, but he also throws many many meaningful punches with vicious intent. I think he blends a strong counter punching style and great footwork. He has phenomenal punch speed, which he used almost all night to get Maidana off of him.
Khan is not pansy, he worked his ass off for his victory and I was not really a big fan of his to start with. My hat goes off to him tonight for his resounding victory, and his testament to the boxing world that his chin may be a little suspect, but his heart and determination are going to be there.

Re: well KHAN sure knows how to RUN... Run Khan Run....that's what I learned tonight.
LOL, if anything Khan should be more safety first.

Re: well KHAN sure knows how to RUN... Run Khan Run....that's what I learned tonight.
Khan got the win, but the hero of the night was Maidana. He was not only fighting Khan, but fighting Cortez as well. He got up off the floor, got himself back together and turned the fight around. If it was a 15 rounder, Khan would have been wasted.
The point deduction was bogus and Khan was allowed to hold on throughout the entire championship rounds. Some of those rounds were so one sided, you could argue that the fight should have been stopped or at the least be given to Maidana 10-8.
Rematch! Khan did what we usually see, quick flurries and then a lot of running about. Maidana came to fight and at the end of the day, his stock has risen. He finished the fight the far fresher of the two. Khan was practically begging for Cortez to help him and for them to hurry the clock.
We've now seen what happens when Khan faces a puncher. He wilts and unfortunately Maidana wasn't composed enough to give himself space. He will do it better next time.

I'm with you, If he could keep his chin tucked in a bit more and stop leaving himself so open he would have the potential to be a great even with a suspect chin. Gotta take my hat off to Khan though, if someone told me he was going to take so many big shots before the fight I would have bet on him losing via a big KO. He showed he has learned how to survive in a crisis and that is one thing that I didn't think he would be able to do.

No they weren't! Only the 10th I believe it was could have been 10-8. Khan actually did more in the 11th and 12th. Maidana was just walking forward not doing anything. Khan did occasionally come out of his shell and throw and land multiple combinations. Even Roy Jones thought Khan could knock Maidana out in those rounds, he kept saying he was just one body shot away from finishing him.
Both were exhausted, but obviously Khan a prior history of weakness and so we were all more focused on him. But there was only one round you could argue might have been 10-8, the other two you could even make a case for Khan winning them.

I still don't know how Bilbo scored the 11th or the 12th for Khan, a shoeshine here and there doesn't win a round. But they weren't 10-8 rounds. Round 10 was but that's about it.

I'd love to see how long you'd last in a ring with Maidana with a tactic of brawl with him!
You pick any fighter and there would be moments when they were running from Maidana. He's a huge hitter.

Maidana didn't really do anything in the 11th. He shot his bolt in the 10th. He kept coming forward but the only decent punches landed were by Amir. Watch it again.

4th - Khan deserves a lot of credit for surviving and putting on a beating on Maidana. Who else has done that?
-
Re: well KHAN sure knows how to RUN... Run Khan Run....that's what I learned tonight.
I dislike the guy but come on you got to give him credit for that. Maidaina is the best puncher in that division - by no means the best boxer - but because of that I feel he is Khan's most dangerous opponent at that weight. And Khan won a UD - ok he was hanging on at the end but he got there.
After the first two rounds I couldn't see a way back for Maidana and he amazed me (couldn't believe he actually got up from that body shot by looks of pain he was in). Lets be honest none of us ever saw a way of Maidana winning on the scorecards did we ? Thought at same time I never saw nothing but Khan domination as the fight went to the later rounds so I was wrong there :-\
There are still big question marks over Khan , and yes he was one other clean shot away from defeat in the 10th, but he came through it so his chin must have improved somehow ! Any opponent facing him knows the best chance of beating him is KO .
Can't see him granting Maidana a rematch though . I think Khan would be less confident in a rematch given how the fight panned out in later rounds

Bilbo was clearly watching the HBO broadcast and forgot that the commentary is essentially propaganda for the house fighter. 10-8 rounds are subjective, but Maidana was clearly dominating down the stretch. You could see most of Khan's flurries missing a mile off. He was running on fumes and there was little accuracy on them towards the end.
-
Re: well KHAN sure knows how to RUN... Run Khan Run....that's what I learned tonight.
I have no intention of watching it again ;D Maidana never lands that clean but he landed his usual rights to the back of the head and uppercuts. Khan just tried to stay on his feet and moved and held and threw the occasional flurry. He just tried to survive the 11th. There's a better case for the 12th but there he mainly just tried to steal it with a flurry at the end.
He was also nowhere near stopping Maidana at any point in those two rounds. Roy is technically right that a body shot could have stopped him at any point but for some reason Khan just didn't throw enough body shots after that first round.
In all honesty I'd like to see a rematch. But its a fight Khan SHOULD easily win if he just keeps things tighter.

Maidana was the one coming on strong down the stretch. Sure, Khan did his banking early, but I really didn't see Maidana take a beating. There was only one fighter clinging on for life and that clearly wasn't Maidana.
Khan rode through the rocky times, so deserves credit for that. However, let's not put on our blinkers on the other way and say that Maidana took a beating.
It was hardly a shut out.

haha so on a card where Amir was the only fighter not from the continent of America he was the house fighter, in America. ;D

Re: well KHAN sure knows how to RUN... Run Khan Run....that's what I learned tonight.
round 10 for me was 10-8
I was really worried that Maidana was staying down for the full 10 in the first lol, for the first couple of rounds i thought he looked like he knew he had bitten off more than he could chew and would be bailing soon as he thought he could get away with it. Pleased to be proven wrong Maidana takes a great shot, he never really got used to Khans speed but more like got used to taking hard fast shots and walked through them to land his own. What a heart and good chin. was not impressed greatly with warrens show but was worth staying up until stupid o' clock to see the fight.
I think any talk of khan stepping in the ring with pac/pbf in the next 12 months can be put to 1 side for now, it's clear he still has some work to do. While watching i was getting pissed off with khan for running but after gathering my thoughts fair play to him what was he supposed to do? stand and trade? no way he got the win and had built up a comfortable enough lead to be able to afford to run and let his head clear.
Rematch would be good but it wont happen, khan has got the win he wont see the need to.
Did the ref really have to take a point off maidana? i swear i heard him saying 'first warning' and then took a point off anyway!! i could be mistaken anyone else hear that? i might have to watch the repeat.
anyway wicked fight, well done for maidana for getting back in the fight after it looked like it was going to be boringly 1 sided. Suppose Khan deserves a pat on the back for getting through some tough moments will hold him in good stead when he finds himself in another tough fight.
is it just me or is khan huge for a light welter?

Yeah that also surprised me a lot in that Khan got caught flush a few times and was hurt but managed to survive. For all of the shit talking Roach does, he is an elite trainer and has massively improved many aspects of Khan. Work still needs to be done, but there is a lot of improvement in there.
And yes the OP is a fucking idiot. But what do you expect form these armchair internet warriors that don't fight for a living and likes to call fighters bitches/cowards/pussies/ chicken, etc.

Re: well KHAN sure knows how to RUN... Run Khan Run....that's what I learned tonight.

Lol...I only wish you truely knew how much of a joke you are...Khan WON! Get over it! A boxing fight consists of 12 rounds, not just the last 3. Seriously bud, get of his nutsack...it's getting really tired.

Re: well KHAN sure knows how to RUN... Run Khan Run....that's what I learned tonight.
It was a GREAT fight. A classic boxer-puncher matchup. No way in hell Khan gives MM a rematch after that life-or-death finish. I think Cortez was wrong to take a point for the elbow. It was thrown with intent, for sure but it never hit Khan. If you swing at a downed fighter a miss is it a foul? Umm that's a big no. It was a rough affair and MM fought it the ONLY way he was going to beat Khan, rough him up and make him earn it. Yeah Khan ran the last to rounds but he beat the hell of of MM most of the early rounds.
Also I loved that MM wouldn't touch gloves with Khan LMFAO!! He did it 3 times..
F#ck sportsmanship!!! This is boxing LOL;D
Marcos will continue to get fights on HBO and I for one is glad to see him fight more. I'm guessing the loser of Bradley-Alexander possibly?

You are a moron if that is all you learned tonight from this possible FOTY. Khan fought an amazing fight, and managed to stay away from what would be his undoing... a large left hand from Maidana.
When you stay away from an opponent and land punches, that is what is known as boxing. Khan did this well, yes, but he also throws many many meaningful punches with vicious intent. I think he blends a strong counter punching style and great footwork. He has phenomenal punch speed, which he used almost all night to get Maidana off of him.
Khan is not pansy, he worked his ass off for his victory and I was not really a big fan of his to start with. My hat goes off to him tonight for his resounding victory, and his testament to the boxing world that his chin may be a little suspect, but his heart and determination are going to be there.
Seconded!
Thirded! Can we get everyone to sign this ;D
4th - Khan deserves a lot of credit for surviving and putting on a beating on Maidana. Who else has done that?
Maidana was the one coming on strong down the stretch. Sure, Khan did his banking early, but I really didn't see Maidana take a beating. There was only one fighter clinging on for life and that clearly wasn't Maidana.
Khan rode through the rocky times, so deserves credit for that. However, let's not put on our blinkers on the other way and say that Maidana took a beating.
It was hardly a shut out.
What are you talking about. If that bodyshot hadn't come with only 10 seconds to go Maidana wouldn't even have got out of the first round.
If it was a 4 round fight then I would be more inclined to agree with you, but the championship rounds are where the men are seperated from the boys and Maidana was producing all the hurt.
I would agree with you if the fight was only scored in the last 3 championship rounds, but those first 9 rounds are more important and Maidana lost most of them.
True, it is a 12 round fight and Khan won the most rounds, but only one man got a bad dose of the spindly legs.
Rematch!
Lol...I only wish you truely knew how much of a joke you are...Khan WON! Get over it! A boxing fight consists of 12 rounds, not just the last 3. Seriously bud, get of his nutsack...it's getting really tired.
How am I a joke? Would you care to expand? And you be quiet, Bilbo! ;D
I have given Khan credit for banking the majority of the rounds and getting the win. Have I questioned the scorecards? Khan won, yes! But he was dragged through the trenches and was clinging on for dear life. I like fighters who bring it and look to engage, so Maidana has earned my respect.
It was a good fight. Chill out.

Re: well KHAN sure knows how to RUN... Run Khan Run....that's what I learned tonight.
Yeah, he ran. He did what your supposed to to do when you get clipped and your in danger of getting Ko'd used the ring to your advantage and use some movement, maybe some holding. Was Khan getting away with a lot of it.. Yeah kinda, and it did seem a little unfair he got infinite warning about pulling the head down, but hes the marketed fighter in this promotion. It is what it is.
Maidana looked a bit pale and unhealthy to me at the beginning of the fight. He got some color in him after that shot to the liver. He came back strong, I have to say if if he spent less time getting $hitty prison tats and more time in working on his footwork or combination punching, he probably would have won tonight. He punches hard, but he was too much of a hack to finish his opponent when he had him hurt. Theres a bunch of guys out there that throw some heavy leather and could have had their 15 minutes if they polished their skills and knew how to finish. The club fighter (from Columbia, i think) that wobbled Cotto badly... comes to mind.... along with the guys that dropped Berto, Ward, What Peter did to Vlad (in the first fight) and what Mccline did to Peter... If you can't finish the guy may as well have been never hurt.

Re: well KHAN sure knows how to RUN... Run Khan Run....that's what I learned tonight.
i think the reason why khan got hurt and in trouble by maidana is that he wanted to prove he could go heads up with a slugger and it almost cost him the fight. as far as running, i think he was smart to do that when he was hurt. i always knew maidana was game and had a huge heart but amir khan surprised me tonight with his own chin and his toughness. sure he was barely hanging on but he wasn't exactly fighting a cream puff either! the important thing is when he did get seriously hurt, he had enough left to finish the fight and retain his title!

Maidana didn't really do anything in the 11th. He shot his bolt in the 10th. He kept coming forward but the only decent punches landed were by Amir. Watch it again.
Your nuts Bilbo. Nuts I say !

If nothing else we should be thankful that you managed to write something that was legible, at least we can (sort of) understand the mindless ramblings of the non-entity that you are.
Now be a dear, be quite and go away. :wavey:

I would agree if he survived looking good by boxing away or something but Khan survived running away scared. The crowd didn't boo just because they were all pro-Amir. I can't admire someone who survived that way. No question about the scorecards. I am not arguing that Amir won it.
Khan said that his chin got tested and was successful. Not so sure about that. The only punch he got to his jaw is the only punched that was needed to damage him enough to make him run for the remainder of the fight (3 or 4 rounds).
Judges confuse me. When Oscar ran for the last 3 or 4 rounds vs Tito, he did it because he was winning convincingly so all he had to do was glide himself to a victory but no, judges somehow gave those rounds to Tito. Now we had Khan running away for dear life on the last 3 or 4 rounds and judges GAVE HIM the rounds. How does it work?:confused:

Khan ran in the last 2 and 1/2 rounds not 3 or 4. Halfway mark of the 10th to be exact.;)
Khan's punch resistance isn't that great, but Maidana even hurting Khan badly was still not able to put him down. And the file has been uploaded, check out the fight again. Maidana snapped Khan's head many times throughout the fight with uppercuts and landing flush shots on Khan starting from the opening round, so yes Khan did get hurt by more than 1 punch, his will and heart got him through. So it was more than 1 punch that landed flush on Khan.

Re: well KHAN sure knows how to RUN... Run Khan Run....that's what I learned tonight.
Awesome fight and would love to see a rematch. Don't like amir but all credit to him for ta king this fight,he showed plenty of bottle and determination. Call it running scarred or whatever you want to, but he did what he had to do to survive, it's maidana's job to get to him. Cortez sucked balls(again), which he has been doing lately, if you take a point that quickly from one fighter maidana, you shouldn't warn the other dude 10 times and not take a point away(pushing the head down/excessive holding). I think both fighters stock rose in this fight , khan showing that he can beat a hard hitting puncher, and maidana showing that he can fully compete with the best at 140. In the prefight pre recorded interview khan actually came off as a decent bloke and not the cocky dude I have always taken him for.
