    Yes but his unamericaness is unimpressive. It`s a fatal flaw on here. :-(

    I was impressed,. I think he has alot to improve on also , still has alot to work on, but he dose have the tools to make it. He needs to quit trying to copy pac also.

    I think Khan FUDGED his way in this fight .. He ran like a girl, held all night, and cortez was helping him at every turn. I think he was lucky to get the nod in this fight . It was very close and I had madiana winning by a point minus the Phoney point deduction. I truely don't understand what many posters here see in Khan?

    No, I've been hugely impressed by his performance against Maidana and the way he has rebuilt his career after his loss to Prescott.

    considering the ts is from england, i wouldn't bet on that being the reason the ts was unimpressed.

    Is it just me or does Amir's combination punching still look a bit jittery and amateurish?

    two handed piston combos also do look amateurish.

    khan looked great in spells and very good for larger spells and at times vunerable. all this tells you is he is a fighter with huge talant but also with plenty of work to do. he needs to learn how to defend from off the ropes. fight inside and improve his foot work. his combination punching, speed and shot selection are second to none. i bet he is a more rounded fighter come his next fight.

    i wasant really impressed he got fast hands but his defence is a bit shaky ! i think its worrying when he gets hit with a big shot in the 10th he didnt win a round after plus there was times in that fight were maidina was out jabbing khan

    i love amirs combinations. he's the only fighter in the world who throws 6 or 7 sots with out a reply from his opponant. throws them consistantly and with good power. for me when his on song he's the most exciting fighter in the world!

    Yes he was superb !! the tenth round was a slipped because he was too
    confident enough he was leading..his hands were not raised as he moves which he used to do in earlier rounds. it was just a hail mary for maidana
    this wid shot, without this one round,the 10th;:D i know you will agree, it
    will be a lopsided ,one boring fight i would think.

    Everyone didnt give maidana a chance but he closed the ring down well to get his own punch's off, Maidana is no mug lets not start saying he cant punch or he cant box i have read a few quotes to suggest this, Maidana will end up a world champion just not yet his time will come.. Khan will have harder fights in Bradley or Alexandra this is a fact.
    Khan still impresses me with his flashy combinations but can be very sloppy at times.

    khan will have a harder time vs bradley, before the maidana fight i would have favoured khan, but now i'm not too sure.

    I favour Bradley too, theres no such thing as a easy fight now for khan, unless he really drop his standard of oponent.
