113-112 Khan. This is actually closer than I thought it was originally and suggests that the point deduction was significant. Also if Cortez hadn't of kept jumping in in the 10th Maidana may have been able to force a stoppage or at least force multiple KD's. Khan should have been warned or docked for the excessive holding. If you are going to be firm on an elbow that didn't even land, then you should also be firm on extremely blatant clinching. Cortez is only firm against his least favoured fighter and 'fair' to the other.

Once again poor officiating has made it's mark on what should have just been a fun fight.
What are you talking about Khan hardly held at all! Come on Miles look at the shellacking he suffered in the 10th round, he took flush punch after flush punch and barely held at all.

In the 11th and 12th rounds he circled and kept away until he got his legs back, what is wrong with that exactly?

And how is blatently throwing an elbow not a foul? Were ther roles reversed you would be arguing for a harsher treatment of the filthy Amir and his fouling elbows, his disgusting low life tactic of throwing a punch when his respectful opponent was trying to touch gloves etc.

Maidana totally deserved to get a point docked. It's boxing, trying to elbow somebody in the face is considered bad sportsmanship.
