well KHAN sure knows how to RUN... Run Khan Run....that's what I learned tonight.

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?

Watch Tito and DLH again. DLH did almost NOTHING in that fight for the last 3-4 rounds. It truly pissed me off. That fight changed modern boxing more than when Tyson bit off Holyfield's ear. Oscar made Judging a boxing match the hardest thing in the planet for anyone to completely understand. But, I tahnk him everyday there is a fighter who thinks he can skate his way to victory on points. F that!!

Khan actually boxed and engaged more than he needed to (as Bilbo said)

For the record Khan won the fight, just. Also Cortez did an excellent job so do not know what everyone was on about. The elbow should have had a point taken off.

i just watched fight again. Had Khan a clear winner on night though I knew he was hanging on at end.


A lot closer when rewatching I had forgotten some of the good work Maidana did earlier.

Rematch !

It was really close. Sure Khan was flashier, but a lot of that was hitting the guard and I am beginning to question the accuracy of compubox. I thought Calzaghe beat Hopkins fair enough, but I question that Hopkins was hit cleanly that many times. I question the same thing here. For flashy combination punchers Compubox seems to go a bit mental when it seems a lot of them are not clean blows at all.

On the night I thought Khan had got it, but on watching it again realised that my scorecard would have been a draw without the point deduction. A rematch is definitely deserved. For someone with all the best coaching and all the handspeed and movement in the world, Khan was still made to go neck and neck with a crude slugger without all those advantages. It makes me question how far Khan can go and tbh right now I think these are his limits. He will never be a truly elite fighter, but I do think he can be a decent belt holder and defend against certain types of opponents.

I really think someone like Bradley is a step beyond someone like Khan.

I think your dislike of Khan has seriously clouded what you're seeing. Maidana got hit with a lot of flush shots on the chin but didn't go down. Quite a few of those shots snapped his head back. And really you don't win a 12 round boxing match by winning the last 3 rounds. That's like saying Pascal beat Hopkins by winning the 1st 3 rounds. But then again, we see what we wanted to see eh?

Khan clearly outlanded Maidana, but Maidana still did enough to win 6 of the rounds IMO. I have no issues with Khan being given the nod, but on a round by round basis, Maidana took his share of the fight. I have no issues with giving him 6 of the 12 rounds, but can understand if some feel differently. Boxing is subjective. Pacal/Hopkins was clearly different in that Hopkins was not only landing more but was also landing the more eye catching shots as the fight wore on. I was supporting Pascal, but still think Hopkins won a close fight. I have no issues with given credit to a fighter I am backing against. On the night I thought Khan won too.

Well, the way I saw it was Khan won by at least 3-4rds.

Credit to him as He chose to go in with a known banger to dispell the rumours he has no chin, which he did emphatically. I honestly carnt remember seeing a chinny boxer take soo many flush shots late in a fight from a KO artist and still stand up to it. The fact he didnt touch down or take a count was testament to his durability, conditioning and chin !

I honestly dont think he would be ready for Mayweather as soon as late 2011, although I would love to see that fight happen some time in the future on British soil!

One thing Mayweather has never done is travel, and he has, in the past mention he would like to fight in the UK. This would be the perfect fight for him to showcase his talent on foriegn soil IMO.
