    Plenty of posters picking different outcomes so why not make a poll and then bumping it after the fight? Votes are made public so we can all see what your prediction was. No after-timers saying, 'I told you so'. Make your pick now!

    Vote!:good

    Khan wins a UD.

    He boxes at distance, circle, in-out with 3-4 punch combos. I expect Maidana to catch him at least once, but personally think all this talk of "glass chin" is over rated. Kotelnik caught him a couple of times, Barrera caught him a good as well and took them, personally think it could be the step up in weight.

    It will be interesting to see how he copes if Maidana lands, either way, barring any major problems, he wins a UD.

    Khan sticks and moves as we have seen him do lately before turning it up late and getting a stoppage - speed kills

    I think differently, I'm going for Khan KO, Maidana against Ortiz was lucky that Ortiz is such a ***** that he didn't want his face to be caved in, think he got the wrong sport to think about that!! I think Khan over powers him early and it gets stopped!

    I'm devastated with Ortiz's progress. A couple of years ago I was convinced he was the second coming.

    He's still got time to turn it round, but the lack of stomach for a fight has turned me right off him.

    Why did you vote for Maidana then? Don't give Gaz an excuse to dig that picture up again!:lol:

    In all seriousness, the only reasoning people have for picking Maidana, IMO, is his Boxrec KO% and Khan's 'questionable' whiskers. I honeslty see no other outcome other than a Khan win in this fight and I have also been saying the same thing for ages. I wonder at times if people have actually seen Maidana fight. Khan's superior speed, footwork and newfound willingness to stick to a gameplan will completely show how limited Maidana actually is, IMO. Maidana has a puncher's chance and that's all.

    you and me both mate. A couple of mates are the same, he blatantly quit against Maidana.

    Didn't even protest when the doctor checked him out.

    I went for Khan.

    Khan late imo. If Khan uses his speed well and keeps his defence tight then i think he can get a late rounds stoppage over Maidana.

    But, i wouldnt be surprised to see Maidana get Khan out of there if he lands.

    Maidana is the first puncher Khan will have faced since his near beheading, im looking forward to see how Khan reacts IF he gets tagged.

    Really looking forward to this fight.:D

    Khan to completely outbox him to a points victory. It will be interesting to see if he can handle Maidana's power.

    :patsch :lol:

    Punchers chance is all i give him as well, I haven't seen a fight were he has had to cut the ring off so I'm either going to be surprised or it will be as bad as everything else.

    The biggest thing for Khan to look out for is when he hurts Maidana don't barge in like Ortiz take a step back and put him to sleep.

    Really glad Khan took this fight Maidana is the perfect fighter to show he will take a puncher on.
