Amir Khan v Marcos Maidana, 11th December

gonedrinking · 21-11-2010 06:12AM

After Khan disposes of Maidana, what are the chances of a fight against Pacquiao? Would be a much more entertaining fight than Pac against Mayweather in my opinion, due to their styles.

As much as I admire Khan's skills, I still think there is just something a little amateur about him. I hope he keeps improving, but he still shows that amateur style a little much. I don't think he is a real real pro, at least not yet.Will he beat Marcos? If he is cute and tough and focused, yes, he wipes Marcos's slate clean.

There's no way that Pac doesn't land on Khan and there's no way Khan takes it. I wouldn't see it as much of a contest, Mayweather-Pac is far more unpredictable though and a much harder fight to call

Zero I would imagine. Khan's not ready, his crew know it. Pac's above him, his crew know it.
The fight wouldn't serve either of them right now.

Khan weighed in 140, Maidana 139

Judging by pics, Khan's height advantage is very litlle. I thought he would be maybe 3 inches taller. I would say from the pics it's more like 1 max

Personally i hope Khan gets knocked out, i find him quite arrogant.

sweetswing · 11-12-2010 10:48AM

Kahn takes this by ko in the mid rounds, his speed is awesome , he's an excellent finisher.
I think to much is made of his dodgy chin, he has grown as a fighter.
His defence is so much better now, I know you can't train a chin, but there are things you can do that help, I'm sure Freddy isn't training Kahn because he thinks he's a nice guy, Freddy sees quality in the kid.
He has a way to go yet for my liking ,but he is well on his way.

I like khan, he has fantastic speed and skill. but this is the wrong fight. At this level there is no doubt he will be caught clean at some point and it wont be pretty

going into this fight knowing he cant afford to be hit clean once will affect his own boxing skills

Maidana KO rounds 2-4

i agree that khans chin is suspect but maidana doesn't exactly have a chin of concrete either and khan is no feather fists either. Late KO amir khan

Wild_Dogger · 11-12-2010 04:46PM

Khan hasnt fought somebody his own size since Prescott !

T'will be fascinating this one .
But maybe not quite so one-sided as people think .

A real test now for Amir , and make or break for Maidana .
Maidana lost a lot of credibility last time out ....
no doubt he will have prepared properly for this one

mkdon05 · 11-12-2010 06:53PM

sxt · 11-12-2010 07:27PM

Can't wait to see Amir Khan-ned tonight!!!!

pbffan · 12-12-2010 04:28AM

Ortiz/Peterson ends up in a majority draw despite Ortiz winning the 3rd 10-7!

I still think he should have gotten the decision, even though he didn't win on any of the cards

Despite knockdowns, I thought Victor looked extremely gunshy. As well as that, he literally doesn't have a defence. He looks terrified of getting KTFO.

Maybe knowing Maidana is in the building his fried his brain :pac:

Maidana built for power, Khan built for speed.

Boooourns · 12-12-2010 04:46AM

Awesome by Khan in the first round, what a boxer!

TT09 · 12-12-2010 04:47AM

some body shot took the wind out off him

Feargal as Luimneach · 12-12-2010 04:48AM

Khan is for real!!!

Boooourns · 12-12-2010 04:51AM

Alex Arizo is a genius!

Feargal as Luimneach · 12-12-2010 04:55AM

What a fight!!! There could be a KO for either fighter at any time.....

Jayob10 · 12-12-2010 04:56AM

this is a cracker, Khan was rattled in round 3

Maidana is a proper little warrior, keeps coming for more

pbffan · 12-12-2010 04:58AM

Real candidate for Fight of the Year

Khan's speed is absolutely crazy

dlofnep · 12-12-2010 05:00AM

Khan is getting hit more than he'd like to. Good fight!

pbffan · 12-12-2010 05:01AM

Khan taking real F'ing bombs here and not a sign of him going down :eek:

It's Alex Arizo, he's a fantastic fitness coach.

goalie2 · 12-12-2010 05:03AM

Serious fight, khan reeally impressing me, a few years ago he would have been gone

Boooourns · 12-12-2010 05:07AM

Gotta love Maidana, one tough b*stard!

goalie2 · 12-12-2010 05:07AM
