well KHAN sure knows how to RUN... Run Khan Run....that's what I learned tonight.

[Gandalf]

Well I will be glad to field this statement for most of the saddoians.

You are a moron if that is all you learned tonight from this possible FOTY. Khan fought an amazing fight, and managed to stay away from what would be his undoing... a large left hand from Maidana.
When you stay away from an opponent and land punches, that is what is known as boxing. Khan did this well, yes, but he also throws many many meaningful punches with vicious intent. I think he blends a strong counter punching style and great footwork. He has phenomenal punch speed, which he used almost all night to get Maidana off of him.

Khan is not pansy, he worked his ass off for his victory and I was not really a big fan of his to start with. My hat goes off to him tonight for his resounding victory, and his testament to the boxing world that his chin may be a little suspect, but his heart and determination are going to be there.

Seconded!

Thirded! Can we get everyone to sign this

4th - Khan deserves a lot of credit for surviving and putting on a beating on Maidana. Who else has done that?

Maidana was the one coming on strong down the stretch. Sure, Khan did his banking early, but I really didn't see Maidana take a beating. There was only one fighter clinging on for life and that clearly wasn't Maidana.

Khan rode through the rocky times, so deserves credit for that. However, let's not put on our blinkers on the other way and say that Maidana took a beating.

It was hardly a shut out.

[Kev]

I still don't know how Bilbo scored the 11th or the 12th for Khan, a shoeshine here and there doesn't win a round. But they weren't 10-8 rounds. Round 10 was but that's about it.

Bilbo was clearly watching the HBO broadcast and forgot that the commentary is essentially propaganda for the house fighter. 10-8 rounds are subjective, but Maidana was clearly dominating down the stretch. You could see most of Khan's flurries missing a mile off. He was running on fumes and there was little accuracy on them towards the end.

haha so on a card where Amir was the only fighter not from the continent of America he was the house fighter, in America.

[armyash]

round 10 for me was 10-8

I was really worried that Maidana was staying down for the full 10 in the first lol, for the first couple of rounds i thought he looked like he knew he had bitten off more than he could chew and would be bailing soon as he thought he could get away with it. Pleased to be proven wrong Maidana takes a great shot, he never really got used to Khans speed but more like got used to taking hard fast shots and walked through them to land his own. What a heart and good chin. was not impressed greatly with warrens show but was worth staying up until stupid o' clock to see the fight.

I think any talk of khan stepping in the ring with pac/pbf in the next 12 months can be put to 1 side for now, it's clear he still has some work to do. While watching i was getting pissed off with khan for running but after gathering my thoughts fair play to him what was he supposed to do? stand and trade? no way he got the win and had built up a comfortable enough lead to be able to afford to run and let his head clear.

Rematch would be good but it wont happen, khan has got the win he wont see the need to.

Did the ref really have to take a point off maidana? i swear i heard him saying 'first warning' and then took a point off anyway!! i could be mistaken anyone else hear that? i might have to watch the repeat.


anyway wicked fight, well done for maidana for getting back in the fight after it looked like it was going to be boringly 1 sided. Suppose Khan deserves a pat on the back for getting through some tough moments will hold him in good stead when he finds himself in another tough fight.

is it just me or is khan huge for a light welter?

[generalbulldog]

LOL, if anything Khan should be more safety first.

I'm with you, If he could keep his chin tucked in a bit more and stop leaving himself so open he would have the potential to be a great even with a suspect chin. Gotta take my hat off to Khan though, if someone told me he was going to take so many big shots before the fight I would have bet on him losing via a big KO. He showed he has learned how to survive in a crisis and that is one thing that I didn't think he would be able to do.

Yeah that also surprised me a lot in that Khan got caught flush a few times and was hurt but managed to survive. For all of the shit talking Roach does, he is an elite trainer and has massively improved many aspects of Khan. Work still needs to be done, but there is a lot of improvement in there.

And yes the OP is a fucking idiot. But what do you expect form these armchair internet warriors that don't fight for a living and likes to call fighters bitches/cowards/pussies/ chicken, etc.

What are you talking about. If that bodyshot hadn't come with only 10 seconds to go Maidana wouldn't even have got out of the first round.

[OumaFan]

Well, Bilbo, he was the house fighter. He's HBO's guy, not Maidana. Pacquaio may not be American but he's certainly HBO's guy.

[OumaFan]

Maidana definitely took a beating Miles. He's just a tough motherfucker.

I'm just arguing with everyone

That's the most fun way though!

In a funny way you and Miles are my brothers though as you will both soon be part of the Kindle club,

I swear that if I told Bilbo that the sun was yellow, he would swear blind that it was purple.

If it was a 4 round fight then I would be more inclined to agree with you, but the championship rounds are where the men are seperated from the boys and Maidana was producing all the hurt.

I would agree with you if the fight was only scored in the last 3 championship rounds, but those first 9 rounds are more important and Maidana lost most of them.

True, it is a 12 round fight and Khan won the most rounds, but only one man got a bad dose of the spindly legs.

Rematch!

Lol...I only wish you truely knew how much of a joke you are...Khan WON! Get over it! A boxing fight consists of 12 rounds, not just the last 3. Seriously bud, get of his nutsack...it's getting really tired.

[jdonaher1]

It was a GREAT fight. A classic boxer-puncher matchup. No way in hell Khan gives MM a rematch after that life-or-death finish. I think Cortez was wrong to take a point for the elbow. It was thrown with intent, for sure but it never hit Khan. If you swing at a downed fighter a miss is it a foul? Umm that's a big no. It was a rough affair and MM fought it the ONLY way he was going to beat Khan, rough him up and make him earn it. Yeah Khan ran the last to rounds but he beat the hell of of MM most of the early rounds.

Also I loved that MM wouldn't touch gloves with Khan LMFAO!! He did it 3 times..
F#ck sportsmanship!!! This is boxing LOL

Marcos will continue to get fights on HBO and I for one is glad to see him fight more. I'm guessing the loser of Bradley-Alexander possibly?
