    Some say the guy is just plain chinny/glass jaw..

    Some say Maidana only needs to land 1 punch..

    Some say Khan at 140 is better suited and will take a punch better..


    Here stands Maidana a power puncher who has the power to finish Khan off with one big shot, yet the big shot is what Khan aims to be by beating Maidana and getting respect and then going after the winner of Bradley-Alexander.

    Will Khan's and Roach's risk pay off???

    Me I think Khan has come on leaps and bounds since joining Roach in all areas of his game. I feel Khan will be too sharp too fast, and too smart for the 2D puncher Maidana, but Khan has to remain focused 100% of the time as Maidana power has to be respected.


    Khan wins inside 6rds KO/TKO

    Khans chinny only if he can be got at. In my opinion Freddy Roach has made it very hard to hit Khan and so I think he will prevail by UD.

    I think Khan will win late on.

    Since teaming up with Roach he his in a different class. He's improved in every department.

    He fights in a much more mature way now and doesn't seem to waste energy and punches like in the past. He shows more discipline and picks his shot's better. I also feel he generates more power into each punch now.

    He could get caught and knocked clean out but the risk of that happening will always be there.

    I'm looking foward to the whole card on Saturday night, should be fun !

    Where you been hiding man? Good to see you on here again.

    I badly want Khan to do a job on Maidana here and send out a statement. But I'm really sitting on the fence for this and hence all bets are off for me.... If Khan avoids taking many shots, he will walk it IMO, Maidan will be easy to hit, and for a busy fighter like Khan he could have a field day. However if he leaves any gaps... it could so easily be lights out. Khan needs to be very technical in this fight, and keep throwing leather whilst keeping up his movement.

    IMO this is the first fight that any one thinks he could actually get beat. If he gets through this then he desereves credit. I think Khan will be very cagey in the early rounds. But at some piont IMO Maidana will land. And then it will be all over.

    Once Khan survives the first few rounds his combinations and speed will frustrate the hell out of Maidana. As long as Khan keeps moving, pot shotting and using angles he'll win kinda comfortably. I wouldn't be too shocked if Khan gets his man in a corner throws a barrage of unanswered punches (some will hit some will miss) and the ref jumps in for a soft stoppage around the 10th.

    If Khan does his work in straight lines he's done for.

    The training/pads workouts vids i have seen and also Khan taking about using angles, also seen Roach getting Khan duck under the right shifting to his left Manny style. Khan has to use angles in this fight and counter the looping hooks.
