    for sure, looks like you can actually put muscles on the chin afterall!

    Maidana can possibly end this in any round though if Khan doesnt try and box

    when khan sticks to boxing he's way ahead of madiana

    He completley rebuilt Khans shape, he said his legs were to skinny and he was too top heavy.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 296 ✭✭goalie2

    WHAT A FIGHT:eek: Dont know how Kahn wasnt dropped there..Fair play to him improving that chin/legs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,787 ✭✭✭Jayob10


    Lads I think we can never accuse Khan of being glass chinned anymore

    AMAZING FIGHT


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,109 ✭✭✭Cavehill Red


    He's running for the distance, now.

    BEST FIGHT I'VE EVER F***ING SEEN!!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,787 ✭✭✭Jayob10


    Maidana really is the stuff of nightmares, he is incessant. one of the hardest fighters out there

    If Khan wins this he deserves all the plaudits


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,849 ✭✭✭corny


    Can't fault the bravery of either fighter. Maidana is exhausted and still he comes forward.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,109 ✭✭✭Cavehill Red


    Khan's done really well to still be in this. Maidana should have put him away before now. Could end up regretting not finishing the job.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,787 ✭✭✭Boooourns


    Unreal fight, just fantastic, i love Khan!

    F*cking brilliant fight.

    Maidana is one seriously HARD B*STARD!!

    Khan showed tremendous heart and maturity. His chin has definitely improved.

    Has to be a rematch!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,787 ✭✭✭Jayob10


    The yanks are going to love Khan after this.

    What a show, he answered every question tonight

    If he'd hurt him in an earlier round, before he was finding it hard to get out of the chair he would have.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,787 ✭✭✭Jayob10


    judging by Merchants questioning HBO saw a different result perhaps??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,405 ✭✭✭Lukker-


    King Runner, he did great to stand-up to that, I honestly thought the ref was gonna stop it in round 10.

    Maidana left it too late, guy has some heart though.

    Best fight for a while.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 296 ✭✭goalie2


    I didn't think so, though khan built up enough of a lead earlier on, also that point for the elbow came back to haunt him a little


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 949 ✭✭✭maxxie


    great fight! good work from kahn.. nice style, fast accurate puncher! but chin is still questionable!!
    Maidana might hit very hard but he is a crude guy, walks down opponent and you can pretty much tell where the punches where going to come from.

    But khan did what he had to!

    Ref cortez! fair but firm.. **** off.. inconsistent **** ref..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,757 ✭✭✭Deliverance XXV


    Great match. Khan had some moments of brilliance in the first half despite a lot of early holding which stopped Maidana's momentum. When Khan got going though he was extremely fast and some cracking body shots from Khan.
    Maidana look like he was going to knock Khan in the last four rounds but fair play to Khan. Maidana is going to regret the first half of the fight.
    Would love a rematch on this!

    Fight of the Year without doubt

    Not going to be able to sleep for hours, never have I been so emotionally invested in a fight. I was Willing Khan on, jumping all over the place, screaming at the top of my lungs for him to "HANG ON"

    Nobody at 140 beats Khan
