    Paulie? ****, c'mon. Anyways, if he had real and reliable power, he didn't show it after the first round. Hell why'd they stop making deposits to the body bank? Maidana on the other hand has real and reliable power, which is why whenever Khan as pushed to the ropes, he balled up and ran for the hills.

    Yeah Khan underachieved tonight. He needs to work on his infighting or never square up with a fighter again

    Of course Khan isnt a power puncher but he has decent power.
    Also Khans game plan was to wear Maidana down and then go for the TKO which was more or less working until he got caught and went in survival mode.

    Though I dont think he would of got the TKO though but if it was in the UK Maidana would of been KOed in the first.

    Khan's accuracy is shitty. He needs to work on his timing.

    Khan's just got fast hands. I didn't see much else from him.

    Why would he need to work on his infighting when he shouldn't be infighting in the 1st place? He needs to work on his timing stay on the outside and ****ing hit something not just throw meaningless shots. He has the reach, speed and stamina to keep anyone outside with his jab and combinations. It's just his accuracy is so shitty.

    I think however the fight had turned out you wouldve found SOMETHING negative ti say, very very boring post.

    Fighter in not perfect performance ??? Oh no !! That's unacceptable.

    Exactly!!! Yo Jeff...do we stand a chance versus Arkansas?

    I agree...but if he is going to continue to let a smaller fighter just close distance and get inside and BANG on him....at least learn to fight from this position. And the fact that he continued to give up his reach advantage tells you all you need to know. And It's ****ing hilarious to listen to/read the post from all these posters giving Props to Khan for taking Big Shots and not going down...really, seriously?

    If you are constantly getting hit by a fighter with NO Skill, No Speed, No Jab and was just throwing these wide-ass looping punches that Stevie Wonder saw coming....the last thing Khan needs to be given is PROPS!!!
