    After looking into different situations time and time again which could occur, I've finally come to a conclusion of a Maidana victory.

    My reasons for picking Maidana are that I haven't seen Khan prove himself against a pressure fighter, let alone against a KO artist who has one huge heart.

    I've looked into Maidana and his only way of winning is if he does the job in 6 rounds. I expect this fight to have an early ending, which could possibly go either way but I lean towards Maidana on it. Maidana after 6 rounds becomes slow, predictable, and is easy as **** to counter-punch the **** of. Marcos Maidana knows his best chance is by catching Khan early, because he knows he can't outbox the boxer and dragging it into the later rounds will only make it a harder task upon himself.

    I am 100% sure Khan will be switched on to that fact, but as Freddie Roach said, it’s up to the fighters to the win the fights, and I don’t think Khan can. I doubt Khan in this which I usually don’t do but I don’t think Khan will keep his cool under the pressure he’ll be in. I see him making a mistake and getting clocked.

    Khan’s chin has improved. Yes. If you don’t believe that’s true then why was he so much more resilient in the Kotelnik fight? Look at his body structure from when he got knocked out to now. He’s matured and is coming into his man years, but from what I’ve seen of Maidana, In every one of his fights, whenever he connects one punch, he wobbles or hurts the opponent every time, and with Khan, who has a **** chin, will be disastrous no matter how much his punch resistance may have improved.

    My other possibility for the fight is that if Khan is on the ball and keeps his discipline will shock Maidana when he tries to fire away his early onslaught, but I see the Maidana situation more likely. Either way, this will be an early night.

    I hope I’m wrong and I pray King Khan wins, but this is reality in the end and we’ll find out on Dec 11th.

    People need to realize just how technically superior Khan is to Maidana, and I don't really fall for the "Khan gets clipped once by Maidana and its over" arguments, Khan got clipped early by Presscot, and like Jack Dempsey said.. you come out cold anything can happen in the first round or two. Khan will prove a lot once he takes the punch of Maidana, shakes it off and screws his heavy duty jab down Maidanas throat.

    Amir Khan. Superior height and reach. He uses his height very well. I don't see Timothy as a hard fight for Amir Khan :good
