Re: well KHAN sure knows how to RUN... Run Khan Run....that's what I learned tonight.
Yeah, he ran. He did what your supposed to to do when you get clipped and your in danger of getting Ko'd used the ring to your advantage and use some movement, maybe some holding. Was Khan getting away with a lot of it.. Yeah kinda, and it did seem a little unfair he got infinite warning about pulling the head down, but hes the marketed fighter in this promotion. It is what it is.
Maidana looked a bit pale and unhealthy to me at the beginning of the fight. He got some color in him after that shot to the liver. He came back strong, I have to say if if he spent less time getting $hitty prison tats and more time in working on his footwork or combination punching, he probably would have won tonight. He punches hard, but he was too much of a hack to finish his opponent when he had him hurt. Theres a bunch of guys out there that throw some heavy leather and could have had their 15 minutes if they polished their skills and knew how to finish. The club fighter (from Columbia, i think) that wobbled Cotto badly... comes to mind.... along with the guys that dropped Berto, Ward, What Peter did to Vlad (in the first fight) and what Mccline did to Peter... If you can't finish the guy may as well have been never hurt.
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
