Who wins the fight? I think khan will come into this fight overprepared and itll make it an easy night for him. Thoughts?
Khan makes Maidana look silly. He'll be too quick and box too smart keeping Maidana at bay swinging wildly.
Khan will make Maidana look foolish and stop him around the sixth round. But with Khan you never know he could get williamsed.
the betting odds right now are -295 khan +260 maidana. i feel like it should be -500 +450 type of fight tbh It's not like Maidana is a one shot knockout artist although many fools seem to feel like he is. And Khan has been preparing himself mentally/physically in tough training camps specifically for power punchers like maidana.
All of you guys are assuming khan's theoretical chin is the same when he was 20-22 years old...when he sparred with bums, had a bum trainer, came into fights willing to brawl, assuming he could outmatch guys with just his speed. Then, he got a reality check after the prescott fight. He realized he wasn't invincible. 2 years later, going from 22 to 24 years old...training diligently with alex ariza and freddie roach. He's 10x stronger mentally/physically than he used to be. I don't know for sure what's going to happen on fight night, but haters seem to super naive and completely overlook these facts.
Maidana to break through the defensive barriers – smashing him on the arms, shoulders, rib-cage etc – and eventually get to the chin. If Khan is hurt, he’s finished.
