Marcos René Maidana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I love the brief description of the Khan fight

On December 11, 2010, Amir Khan won a controversial unanimous decision over Maidana with the judges scoring it 114-111, 114-111, 113-112. The fight was fiery from the offset and despite Maidana scoring several large blows in the 10th and 11th round, rocking Khan, he was unable to finish Khan off. This was mainly due to the referee Joe Cortez interfering whenever Maidana was gaining the advantage. This bought Khan valuable seconds to recover. The crowd booed Khan when the decision was announced. The fight was called one of the 'fights of the decade' by Oscar De La Hoya.


I love 'the crowd booed Khan when the decision was announced'. The only time they booed was when Maidana was interviewed.

Also on an semi related note, did anyone else think the post fight interviews were the worst ever on HBO? Larry asked a single question to Amir and two to Maidana and the whole thing was over inside a minute. It was like they had two minutes to evacuate the building or something. Even Merchant's post fight wrap up lasted about 15 seconds and concentrated only the upcoming Alexander Bradley fight and the Lombardi documentary. Pathetic.
If its on Wikipedia then it must be true. Its a FACT now Bilbo ! Stick that in your damn hobbit pipe and smoke it you bastard !

haha I can certainly imagine Miles citing it as the official verdict
Maybe I wrote it...

Maybe not.
Well if that's what was really there, it's not now: Marcos René Maidana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"On December 11, 2010, Amir Khan won a unanimous decision over Maidana with the judges scoring it 114-111, 114-111, 113-112. The fight was fiery from the offset with Khan putting Maidana hard on the canvas in the 1st round with a thundering body shot under the rib cage, khan was rocked in the 10th by a wild swing by Maidana but Khan showed strong heart and he was unable to finish Khan off. The fight was called one of the 'fights of the decade' by Oscar De La Hoya."
