At the start of the first round Khan initiates a glove tap with Maidana , but instead Maidana did a jumping left hook , barely missing . Now if Maidana landed and knocked Khan out would you posters consider that a suckerpunch ?
That is the difference between Khan and Ortiz. Khan is double quick. And taller, more skilled, more handpseed, isnt a quitter.
Khan said he knew that Maidana would rush him early on so I just thought he did that to start the fight to slow the tempo a bit. Maidana was not amused lol.
Anyone remember Zab Judah throwing a hard thigh punch before the opening round when Baldomir went to touch gloves with him? Dont know why I just thought of that.
No question. Ortiz is a paper-chinned, paper-hearted quitter. Still doesn't change the fact that Floyd's a shameless piece of ****. :deal
No sucker punch there, just a real fighter. My guess is that most boxers of the golden era would have done the same. Maidana is kind of a throwback in that he isn't in there to make a friend, he wants the Knockout. I believe in sportsmanship and don't like dirty fouls at all, (sport's dangerous enough) but some of these guys want to touch gloves too often.
