Amir Khan to make Second Defence

As much as I dislike Khan, he'll outbox Maidana all night.

 

Definately mate. if kahn gets past maidana he gets my respect

 

I hope this fight pulls thought, very good fight for the boxing fans. I think Khan outboxes him and stops him late.

 

No one needs to shut up about his suspect chin, that's what has the potential to make his fights against live opponents exciting after all. However, if he gets past Maidana he gets some respect, definately.

 

I agree - look at Lennox Lewis against McCall - Lennox was a far more skilled fighter, but he got a little cocky and overconfident with his unblemished record and look what happend...had he fought McCall the first time with a lot of respect for his opponents punching power he'd not have been so cocky. Then after this fight he got with Manny and improved his game...racked up a bunch of wins till he got to Rahman...again he'd started to get cocky and said before the Rahman fight that Rahman wasn't particularly talented....and look how he prepared and actually fought him...then look at the difference in the rematch. Losses definately give some fighters a much needed wake up call.


Now this possible Khan v Maidana fight...do you people know that Warrens grip on Khan is coming to an end?? 2 things come to mind here - Khan naturally wont want to give up his precious title...and the proud warrior in him will wanna defend and get past what i'm sure he considers a very dangerous opponent. But better to try and come through it than ditch your title and duck which would be the cowards way and wouldn't do his credibility much favours. Read this..

Warren States His Case To Keep Khan

Promoter Frank Warren hopes that Amir Khan forming his own promotional company does not mean the WBA junior-welterweight champion will go it alone and forget about the man that steered him to world title glory.

The 23 year-old from Bolton has followed fellow British boxers Ricky Hatton and David Haye to form his own promotional company-Khan Promotions.

Warren. Britain’s most successful promoter has promoted all of Khan’s 23 professional fights and took him to world title glory in July 2009 despite being viciously knocked out in one round by Breidis Prescott 10 months earlier.

When asked if Khan forming his own company meant they may no longer work together Warren said: "Look, whatever’s going to happen is going to happen. You just hope that people don’t suffer from amnesia, that’s all I can say.

"I have delivered all I said I was going to do. When he turned pro I said I’d look after him and I’d make sure he wins a world title and I’ve done that.
"Now he could become a legend. Can he do it? I don’t know. Will he do it with me? I think I’m pretty good at what I do and he’s pretty good at what he does."

Warren here in light of this could be thinking well if I'm gonna lose him I may as well cash out now rather than have Khan fight a lesser fight for his last fight with me. So its not hard to see how even Warren could want this fight. Were otherwise he may wanna be protective.

 

Good fight, Khan can win with his improved defence, Maidana can be outboxed. Khan UD.
Hopefuly he can think about unification after this fight, could turn out to be a good division with Khan, Bradley, Urango (if he doesn't stay at WW), Holt etc.

 

:good

 

:good Yeah, the 140 division is loaded, with the guys you've mentioned and more besides.

 

:good Well said Des!!

 

Where did the rumours about Khan vacating come from anyway?

 

Some twat in the British forum. When asked for a source he posted a bottle of ketchup. Say no more . . . .

 

^
:yep :yep sorry but that amused my small mind.

 

i like it

 

Sounds too good to be true. Please God make this happen

If he does decide to take him on, then you have to respect his heart and desire. If he goes one further and comprehensively beats him, I for one would be very impressed. Maidana is 10 times the fighter Prescott is, and a victory over him will certainly rest them ghosts for good.

Early Prediction....Maidana by late stoppage
