Roach cannot fix Khan's chin.
Roach cannot fix Khan's chin.
Don't get me wrong. I'm a Khan supporter. But I honestly don't see bright future for him. Right now he's being pampered by Roach. He's just overhype. He will not survive 12 rounds against Maidana. Khan tends to exchange punches sometimes, and his chin will get tagged violently.
Maidana is my number 1 choice at 140 because.... Ummm..mm... It's just a gut instinct I guess.
I'm torn, I'm a massive Khan fan, really rate his skills. But I just simply love Maidanas style and how he fights.
My head says Khan, my gut says Maidana.
If the fight happens, I'll favour Khan winning as I don't think they would have took the fight if they thought he could lose.
It has potential to be fight of the year though, I'm really looking forward to it happening.
Boxrec already has it down as booked!
I think 9/10 times Khan beats Maidana, but his chin is always going to be a massive question mark and if Maidana hits him clean he will hurt him.
Regarding the Corley fight, I watched part of it in between watching Calderon-Segura and UFC 118, but it looked to me like Maidana just didn't take him seriously as an opponent. He was sloppy, inaccurate (even more so than usual), and looked like he expected to just walk all over Corley. I expect it was just an off-night, though I don't rate Maidana as highly as many people seem to, but I'd expect him to look totally different against Khan. That being said, I still think Khan is likely to beat him.
everyone goes on about the light welter division and no one has mentioned kotelnik
he has already beaten maidana and should have beaten alexander
hes up there still isnt he?
To answer the thread tho, maidana has more than a punchers chance against kahn and kahn isnt good under pressure and maidana will show him some of that
the corley fight could have just been an off night? Or corley could have had the fight of his life? Or the styles could have mixed in corleys favour?
It was a close fight, no one got robbed. I think I had Kotelnik winning by a round (or maybe I had Maidana winning by a round, I don't remember), but it was close enough that it could have gone either way, and given that the fight took place in Kotelnik's backyard the outcome is understandable.
where did you watch it? Why arent these fights on british tv?
I've only seen bits of the Corley fight on You Tube, but by all accounts Maidana got his win and looked pretty decent for the majority of the rounds. Maybe not his best performance, but he deserves his shot at Khan. And we all want to see Khan in there with someone who can bang.
