He's a must watch though. Partially because he's too wild for his own good.
I really can't see how anybody can't be a fan. Sure he says some silly things at times, and he's a phone sex pest. But I can appreciate all of those attributes.

He was really really good tonight. How he got through that 10th round I'll never know, it was like watching a spider being washed down a sink and just bobbing over the plug hole refusing to go under, legs splaying everywhere, but he stayed up and imo even won the 11th and almost had Maidana out in the 12th in the dying seconds.

Great fight, he fought and beat a puncher. I hope he doesn't face another one for a while.
Yeah I was on my feet at that point and for the rest of the round. There's inspirational moments throughout a boxing match ( a boxing match is an inspirational moment within itself), but that was extraordinary.
It was a great round. I went mental. I stood straight up and threw the chair I was sitting on to the ground. I had been quite calm apart from shouting obscenities at Joe Cortez, but that round pushed me over the edge.

That's what boxing is all about and it was all Maidana. He finished the fight the winner in my eyes. Forget the scorecards and the sportsmanship, he made the impact with his punches. He was gradually taking away Amir Khan's heart and soul.

Immediate rematch!
