Khan vs Marcos Chino Maidana ?

[ICB]

I think you guys are overrating the importance of MAB's cut, I mean its one thing to have severe blisters but a cut shouldn't really hinder your performance. No, that was all Khan there against a very capable Barrera. Fabulous performance, speed and skill for days. And I'm a fan of Diaz but he just doesn't hit hard enough for Khan. He's got the speed and technique that Maidana lacks, put them together, Diaz' overall ability and Maidana's power, and you have a tough out for Amir.

How doesn't a cut hinder your performance ? no offense Ouma but that is a pretty biased comment. A bad cut always effects your performance, the blood was gushing out and he couldn't even see out of one eye.

So how in the world did that not affect MAB ? it would effect any boxer. Especially in the opening seconds of a fight, where it knocks your confidence, takes you totally off your gameplan. Not to mention obviously your vision.

I didn't see it like you did, all i see was a faded fighter. With a horrendous cut that was clearly having problems with his vision. Who didn't belong at that weightclass.

And Amir Khan having the much longer reach, the youth, aswell as being much naturally bigger. Just using his speed/reach to pick a part a smaller cut fighter, which he did take advantage of no question.

But he still was easy to target with hooks and looping shots, and MAB had no chance to get into the fight. And the fight should of been a No-Conest.

They looked at the cut in the 4th round decided not to stop it, then they stop it in the 5th round ? what BS that was they clearly used the rules to there advantage to make sure Amir Khan gets the win.

As for Juan Diaz again i said he isn't a big puncher, but he certainly does bring it. And could Amir Khan stand that pressure ? he had trouble with Michael Gomez's pressure. And he's been floored by lighter punchers than Juan Diaz, who aren't anywhere near his level, i've seen no performance from Amir Khan that leads me to believe he's ready for the big boys.
