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.
