Did Amir Khan hurt Maidana here...........

No he didn't he is clumsy that way. He was hurt to the body in the first round.

 

Not there. His footwork is not the best. Guys a beast just basically looked like he did a thug walk to walk Khan down.

 

a little but obviously not much

 

i think people forgot that khan battered maidana too, he took away most of maidana power, and those body shots made his legs weak, when maidana had khan in trouble, he had like a minute or so and still couldn't finish him off, he was just sluggin away with throwin any accurate punches

 

Definitely stunned his ass.

 

hurt, maybe. but Maidana knew that coward was running and would never plant his feet..hence why he would just keep walking foward with his hands down.

90% of Khans combination's are all flash and no substance.

 

I don't really see it, to be honest. The body shot in the first round was the only time Maidana looked genuinely hurt. Hell, he looked in agony when he was rolling around -- impressive that he was able to get back up.

Coward?

atsch

Khan is a very flawed fighter, but I didn't think someone would be dumb enough to attack his heart.

 

No doubt it. He just seemed a bit off balance..definently not a half a second chicken dance

 

Yeah he looked hurt!

 

I think I will watch this fight again... I cant believe I only watched it twice!

 

Think he was more tried and his footwork isnt the best to begin with.

 

Nope. Decent punch, but Maidana actually caught some of that with his shoulder. Maidana was exhausted as opposed to hurt. He wasn't even trying to chase Khan. ****in guy just walked towards him like a G :smoke

 

This thing about Khan throwing ineffective combinations is exaggerated I think. Yes, he's picked up this habit since adopting the box-and-move approach, but to say most of his punches are pointless pitter-patter ones, is inaccurate.

Prior to the knockout loss, he was accustomed to planting his feet and putting everything behind shots. These flashy combinations were only first introduced in the Barrera fight, and then more notoriously, against Kotelnik. In these two bouts he was obviously less confident about his punch resistence, and was under the instructions of Roach to stay out of harms way, and score points through speed and high workrate. But against Malignaggi, where he was involved in a slow-paced chess match, his combinations had more meaning to them. And the same with the first half of the Maidana fight - where he had him backing up with fast, hard attacks.

He's not as one-dimensional as most try to make out, and he certainly doesn't resort to pointless flurries all the time. It depends on the fight he's in, and the opponent he's facing.
