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.

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.

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.

How am I a joke? Would you care to expand? And you be quiet, Bilbo!

I have given Khan credit for banking the majority of the rounds and getting the win. Have I questioned the scorecards? Khan won, yes! But he was dragged through the trenches and was clinging on for dear life. I like fighters who bring it and look to engage, so Maidana has earned my respect.

It was a good fight. Chill out.

[J_Undisputed]

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.

[milmascaras1]

i think the reason why khan got hurt and in trouble by maidana is that he wanted to prove he could go heads up with a slugger and it almost cost him the fight. as far as running, i think he was smart to do that when he was hurt. i always knew maidana was game and had a huge heart but amir khan surprised me tonight with his own chin and his toughness. sure he was barely hanging on but he wasn't exactly fighting a cream puff either! the important thing is when he did get seriously hurt, he had enough left to finish the fight and retain his title!

You have sperm on your chin biatch boy

[Waleed]

why cry about using the ring to his advantage? look what happened to williams...

[Hulk]

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.

Maidana didn't really do anything in the 11th. He shot his bolt in the 10th. He kept coming forward but the only decent punches landed were by Amir. Watch it again.

Your nuts Bilbo. Nuts I say !

If nothing else we should be thankful that you managed to write something that was legible, at least we can (sort of) understand the mindless ramblings of the non-entity that you are.

Now be a dear, be quite and go away.

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

I would agree if he survived looking good by boxing away or something but Khan survived running away scared. The crowd didn't boo just because they were all pro-Amir. I can't admire someone who survived that way. No question about the scorecards. I am not arguing that Amir won it.

Khan said that his chin got tested and was successful. Not so sure about that. The only punch he got to his jaw is the only punched that was needed to damage him enough to make him run for the remainder of the fight (3 or 4 rounds).

Judges confuse me. When Oscar ran for the last 3 or 4 rounds vs Tito, he did it because he was winning convincingly so all he had to do was glide himself to a victory but no, judges somehow gave those rounds to Tito. Now we had Khan running away for dear life on the last 3 or 4 rounds and judges GAVE HIM the rounds. How does it work?

Khan ran in the last 2 and 1/2 rounds not 3 or 4. Halfway mark of the 10th to be exact.

Khan's punch resistance isn't that great, but Maidana even hurting Khan badly was still not able to put him down. And the file has been uploaded, check out the fight again. Maidana snapped Khan's head many times throughout the fight with uppercuts and landing flush shots on Khan starting from the opening round, so yes Khan did get hurt by more than 1 punch, his will and heart got him through. So it was more than 1 punch that landed flush on Khan.

[armin]

Awesome fight and would love to see a rematch. Don't like amir but all credit to him for ta king this fight,he showed plenty of bottle and determination. Call it running scarred or whatever you want to, but he did what he had to do to survive, it's maidana's job to get to him. Cortez sucked balls(again), which he has been doing lately, if you take a point that quickly from one fighter maidana, you shouldn't warn the other dude 10 times and not take a point away(pushing the head down/excessive holding). I think both fighters stock rose in this fight , khan showing that he can beat a hard hitting puncher, and maidana showing that he can fully compete with the best at 140. In the prefight pre recorded interview khan actually came off as a decent bloke and not the cocky dude I have always taken him for.

[Chrislfc17]

Khan used all the tools he had to win a boxing match. Likewise, Maidana used all his tools, except his tools weren't as good as Amir's. Everyone jumped on Khan's back for not fighting a puncher. He fights the biggest puncher in his division and arguably one of biggest punches PFP in boxing and he still seems to get no respect. I just don't get it? What do people want Amir to do, go toe-to-toe with Maidana for 12 rounds? Maidana was lucky that the bell went when it did in the 1st round or he could have been looking at a KO. Sure, Khan had some rocky moments but he didn't pussy out of it like Ortiz did. He showed great heart in staying in their and deserved the win. People's dislike for certain boxers seriously clouds their judgment. Subsequently they end up saying things that makes them look like complete dicks!

[Otley]

Congrats to Khan...he did what he had to get thru to get the win...i got to watch the last 5 rounds and thought both fighters showed the heart of a champ and deserve respect

job biscuit (would luv a rematch)!!!

Eh eh!!

[0james0]

Even the great PBF would have been elusive at points during that fight. Maidana just kept coming and kept swinging. Any fighter from 140-147 would have got jelly legs from taking some of those bombs.

It's not as if Khan ran all night, even in the rounds he lost he still tried getting combos off (bar the 10th)

[paddy448]

Another Golden Boy runs in the ring. Not convinced of anything. Khans a bitch, and all ball suckers will come to his rescue here.

I'm not one for the keyboard warrior generation, but what have u done in ur life, that warrants u too call amir khan a bitch . U small little man. Send me ur address on a pm so I can come and rip ur heart out. Khan fought a great fight last night. Anything less and he wouldn't of got thru that. mafia joey =wanker

[:::PSL:::]

The point deduction was bogus

It was flagrant.
