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

[Gandalf]

I still don't know how Bilbo scored the 11th or the 12th for Khan, a shoeshine here and there doesn't win a round. But they weren't 10-8 rounds. Round 10 was but that's about it.

Bilbo was clearly watching the HBO broadcast and forgot that the commentary is essentially propaganda for the house fighter. 10-8 rounds are subjective, but Maidana was clearly dominating down the stretch. You could see most of Khan's flurries missing a mile off. He was running on fumes and there was little accuracy on them towards the end.

haha so on a card where Amir was the only fighter not from the continent of America he was the house fighter, in America.

The 10-8 round looked like this:
Maidana Khan
50/80 8/14

Especially when you consider Maidana's punches hurt way worse than Khan's. I didn't even think twice it could score any differently. At almost any point in that round Cortez could have given him a standing 8 count. He beat him Pillar to post.

I also want to add that the second knockdown was bullshit on Maidana. He never touched the canvas, and the ropes never held him up. And third, no punch landed.

Well I will be glad to field this statement for most of the saddoians.

You are a moron if that is all you learned tonight from this possible FOTY. Khan fought an amazing fight, and managed to stay away from what would be his undoing... a large left hand from Maidana.
When you stay away from an opponent and land punches, that is what is known as boxing. Khan did this well, yes, but he also throws many many meaningful punches with vicious intent. I think he blends a strong counter punching style and great footwork. He has phenomenal punch speed, which he used almost all night to get Maidana off of him.

Khan is not pansy, he worked his ass off for his victory and I was not really a big fan of his to start with. My hat goes off to him tonight for his resounding victory, and his testament to the boxing world that his chin may be a little suspect, but his heart and determination are going to be there.

Seconded!

Thirded! Can we get everyone to sign this

4th - Khan deserves a lot of credit for surviving and putting on a beating on Maidana. Who else has done that?

Maidana was the one coming on strong down the stretch. Sure, Khan did his banking early, but I really didn't see Maidana take a beating. There was only one fighter clinging on for life and that clearly wasn't Maidana.

Khan rode through the rocky times, so deserves credit for that. However, let's not put on our blinkers on the other way and say that Maidana took a beating.

It was hardly a shut out.

[armyash]

round 10 for me was 10-8

I was really worried that Maidana was staying down for the full 10 in the first lol, for the first couple of rounds i thought he looked like he knew he had bitten off more than he could chew and would be bailing soon as he thought he could get away with it. Pleased to be proven wrong Maidana takes a great shot, he never really got used to Khans speed but more like got used to taking hard fast shots and walked through them to land his own. What a heart and good chin. was not impressed greatly with warrens show but was worth staying up until stupid o' clock to see the fight.

I think any talk of khan stepping in the ring with pac/pbf in the next 12 months can be put to 1 side for now, it's clear he still has some work to do. While watching i was getting pissed off with khan for running but after gathering my thoughts fair play to him what was he supposed to do? stand and trade? no way he got the win and had built up a comfortable enough lead to be able to afford to run and let his head clear.

Rematch would be good but it wont happen, khan has got the win he wont see the need to.

Did the ref really have to take a point off maidana? i swear i heard him saying 'first warning' and then took a point off anyway!! i could be mistaken anyone else hear that? i might have to watch the repeat.


anyway wicked fight, well done for maidana for getting back in the fight after it looked like it was going to be boringly 1 sided. Suppose Khan deserves a pat on the back for getting through some tough moments will hold him in good stead when he finds himself in another tough fight.

is it just me or is khan huge for a light welter?

If nothing else we should be thankful that you managed to write something that was legible, at least we can (sort of) understand the mindless ramblings of the non-entity that you are.

Now be a dear, be quite and go away.

[OumaFan]

LOL, if anything Khan should be more safety first.

[rjj tszyu]

LOL, if anything Khan should be more safety first.

I'm with you, If he could keep his chin tucked in a bit more and stop leaving himself so open he would have the potential to be a great even with a suspect chin. Gotta take my hat off to Khan though, if someone told me he was going to take so many big shots before the fight I would have bet on him losing via a big KO. He showed he has learned how to survive in a crisis and that is one thing that I didn't think he would be able to do.

[Mark TKO]

I dislike the guy but come on you got to give him credit for that. Maidaina is the best puncher in that division - by no means the best boxer - but because of that I feel he is Khan's most dangerous opponent at that weight. And Khan won a UD - ok he was hanging on at the end but he got there.

After the first two rounds I couldn't see a way back for Maidana and he amazed me (couldn't believe he actually got up from that body shot by looks of pain he was in). Lets be honest none of us ever saw a way of Maidana winning on the scorecards did we ? Thought at same time I never saw nothing but Khan domination as the fight went to the later rounds so I was wrong there

There are still big question marks over Khan , and yes he was one other clean shot away from defeat in the 10th, but he came through it so his chin must have improved somehow ! Any opponent facing him knows the best chance of beating him is KO .

Can't see him granting Maidana a rematch though . I think Khan would be less confident in a rematch given how the fight panned out in later rounds

Yeah that also surprised me a lot in that Khan got caught flush a few times and was hurt but managed to survive. For all of the shit talking Roach does, he is an elite trainer and has massively improved many aspects of Khan. Work still needs to be done, but there is a lot of improvement in there.

And yes the OP is a fucking idiot. But what do you expect form these armchair internet warriors that don't fight for a living and likes to call fighters bitches/cowards/pussies/ chicken, etc.

[0james0]

I'd love to see how long you'd last in a ring with Maidana with a tactic of brawl with him!

You pick any fighter and there would be moments when they were running from Maidana. He's a huge hitter.
