Mitchell-Katsidis/Khan-Powderpuff - who wins? (Poll)

[Gandalf]

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?

[OumaFan]

No, Khan was never behind at any point. It was a brilliant performance, he gave Paulie a beating and a lesson.

[DatsiK]

Although I had Malignaggi ahead on the card,

Surely taking the piss here

My thoughts are simple: Khan dominated. We all knew Paulie wouldn't be able to hurt Khan, and that his best chance was keeping him off with a jab. 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?

Khan dominated the entire fight. He didn't lose a single round.

God I love using this!

BTW, does anyone else think that Kellerman and Farhood have identical voices? IMHO the similarities end there, but they sound almost exactly the same!

Khan dominated the entire fight. He didn't lose a single round.

I had Paulie Malignaggi winning 2 rounds, with one even round which he possibly could of won, he did good at the start. Amir Khan looked tense in the first 5 rounds, but as soon as Amir Khan settled down and relaxed and started using his jab. He dominated the fight like i expected him too.

My thoughts on the fights:

I never saw the KAT/Mitchell fight, but I was thinking Kats would win. He is really good at cutting off the ring. Hes as strong as an ox. Mini tyson in there and I think he is still improving as a fighter.

Ortiz/Campbell - Kinda shocked!! I was expecting a much more competitive fight and I thought Campbell may have been too much for him till i watched it!hehe I still cannot figure out what Campbell was trying to do in there.

Khan/Malignaggi - I was also expecting it to be more competitive. I was expecting like a 8-4 fight in favor of Khan as Pauli seemed to rediscover himself lately and I thought his awkward speed might keep him in it. Khan completely dominated him though and looked good going it. What really impressed me was his quick counters over everything Pauli threw his way. His timing was awesome.

Yea just got through watching the replay. Khan really dominated Malignaggi completely. Khan even said Roach was telling him what to do and he just followed. Good action outside fight. Very much different from what I expected.

One main thing i noticed in this fight is.... You could drive a bus through that gap in Khans dads teeth.

i noticed the same thing. buck teeth guy.. khan could send him to the orthodontist to get some much needed tooth work

[markb018]

Khan did great...hate the guy, but he did awesome. More importantly I liked what he had to say post fight. He wants to unify the belts. He seemed semi humble, wasn't expecting that. Paulie as usual was a class act, took the defeat well and gave credit where it was due and made no excuses. He said he had a great training camp and nothing went wrong. A lot of other fighters should take an example from Paulie

[Fenster]

That was a brilliant perfomance from Khan. His jab/left hand was awesome. The kid is a solid chin away from being a long reigning P4P star.

Respect to Powderpuff too. He needs saving from himself.

I was lying on the couch at 3:15AM 3rd round Campbell v Ortiz. I pull the blanket over myself freezing cold, close my eyes for a second then BAM I wake and its 5:30AM light outside and I havent got a fukking clue where I am. A repeat of Hatton v Pacquiao I fell asleep

Ah well at least my bet came in and there's a reply on ITV4 tonight at 7:30PM. Looks like Khan done real good.

He did veey well. Controlled the fight and steadily put on a beatdown. Paulie's face looked a bit of a mess at the stoppage.
