113-112 Amir Khan


Fight was alot closer than i remember, had Macos Maidana not of had a point deducted. It would of been a draw IMO. No way Amir Khan won any of the championship rounds, i don't know what some of you guys are watching.

Amir Khan basically was on the backfoot the whole round, and except for a few flurries. Marcos Maidana was the aggressor and outlanded Amir Khan, and controlled the round more.

I think you need some glasses mate. No way Maidana won round 11. Landed practically nothing. Khan landed one spectacular uppercut and around 3 or 4 flurries.

ICB, I had the exact same scorecard if I recall correctly. Good post.

CompuBox at Ringside: Khan-Maidana, Ortiz-Peterson - Boxing News

A Note on Khan vs. Maidana: Overly Involved Joe Cortez - Boxing News

Maidana landed about twice as many punches as Khan per round in rounds 10-12. Khan's output dropped by half from rounds 1-9 and rounds 10-12. Maidana controlled the pace of those rounds. Khan retreated. It's tough to win a round if you are retreating the whole time.

It's not all about punchstats though. Khan threw nothing for the first minute and a half, but when he did he caught with crisp, flush shots. Maidana did nothing apart from walk forward, Khan blocked everything. I'm not saying your wrong to give it to Maidana, but it wasn't a bad round for Khan. To me he showed real maturity in that round and got his head back together and then came back firing.
