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

[tomcy03]

There needs to be a rematch.

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.

[CFH]

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.

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!

haha I wouldn't go that far

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!

Except for those Pacquiao moments... Otherwise Khan did prove he can be in there with the strongest punchers in the division and not just the boxers.

He fought well for several rounds, but let's not forget how much Cortez proved that is firm in a biased way and is certainly not fair. I don't understand why Maidana lost a point and I don't know why Khan was allowed to hump Maidana's arm for a third of the fight.

Khan showed the same as he always has and continues to think he is Manny Pac. But he isn't and will be taken out.

I want a rematch and I want to see Maidana give himself a little space when trying to close the show. He will get Khan.

You know, I'm a fan of Khan but I don't think he did. His chin is better at 140 and he responds to getting hurt better, but he still got hurt almost every time Maidana landed clear and if he fights a boxer-puncher who can throw combinations he's going to be in trouble. Just my $0.02.

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.

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.

yeah I thought he was going to knock Maidana out in the dying seconds. I had him winning the 11th as well, as did Harold.

Brilliant fight, you stick a chin on him and he's a rival to Manny and Floyd imo.

Unfortunately as he is, against an elite fighter he always going to be playing roulette and has a 50 percent chance of getting starched.

Would LOVE to see him and Bradley. That is a hell of a matchup imo.

I think he'd beat Bradley. I don't think he has the power to hurt Khan. That being said, I really want to see him fight the winner of Bradley - Alexander (failing a Maidana rematch).

Maidana was too eager and smothered his work. I do want to see a rematch because I think Maidana will knock him out.

But fair play to Khan, he got through it. He won't next time.

What I meant was he took some clean shots and stayed on his feet/wobbley legs, if you'd have asked me would he have done that before the fight I'd have said no way!

Look it's obviously not advisable for him to stand toe to toe with someone with power but he stayed in there and he should get credit for it, even if it's just for surviving...

I don't think he could survive against a big puncher who was a slick fighter as well. I think Manny would have him out on a stretcher, which is a shame because chin aside I think he gives Manny nightmares. He's a superb fighter, speed and skills he's one of the best 10 in the world. Unfortunately his chin is like about 1403th

But he has so much heart, I absolutely love the kid. Done us proud tonight and have you ever seen him in a dull fight? His vulnurabilites make him super exciting.

I thought the championship rounds were all Maidana with a case for a couple of 10-8 rounds, I also thought Maidana landed the far more telling blows. In the end Khan was flurrying, but there was nothing on them and most of the punches were catching the arms.

Harold Lederman is senile, so it's always best to ignore him. He is like a real judge.

If he had a chin, he'd be on his way to becoming the best fighter on the planet. I agree with you (probably because you were agreeing with me ), a boxer-puncher will ruin him, but it'll be great while it lasts. I think you're dead on with the Jermaine Taylor comparison (I know I've said that about 20 times now).
