Khan in for some $hit with that glass chin. He is the better boxer but I don't think he can go 12 rounds without being cracked. I think his speed, better footwork, and more skill will control the fight until Marcos gets him to trade....Once that happens it's good night for Khan. I think Amir will be winning on the judges scorecards and I think the fight will be very fan friendly Marcos Maidana KO Amir Khan in 10
Well its more than obvious he hasnt got the best whiskers isnt it? I feel this way about this too, Khan is a WORLD class fighter in the making of being a possible elite in the next few years but he lacks a WORLD CLASS CHIN. The only thing that Maidana can do in this fight is pressurise and get lucky with a headshot or 2.
The longer the fight goes on the less likely Maidana will be to KO Khan. He is going to be eating a lot of punches. If Khan can see past round seven, he'll be almost a cert to win it. Maidana isn't some beast immune to punishment.
I agree with this sort of. Khan does have a better chance of survival the longer the fight goes but will always be at risk...Even though Maidana gassed late against Corley, Corley has a chin.......and Maidana was touching it late........ Khan is really a great boxer but **** me, the wind from a missed punch about drops him.
After the fight you'll see people bidding on whats left of Khans chin on Ebay. A small burlap sack of broken glass. Start the bidding at 12.95............
That's the way I see it too. If Maidana is to win (which I think he will), he'll be wanting to end it early. I notice he gets a little tired and very sloppy the longer the fight goes on, and if by rounds 7/8 he hasn't had Khan in any trouble, he's going to pay for it. Khan's no soft puncher, and he'll be making Maidana eat alot of leather if the fight drags.
Cant see Roach taking the fight if he didnt know something we dont. Khans chin IMO is not as bad as it was, and Roach letting a possible future P4P fighter vs a very dangerous opponent (for the first 6 or seven rounds) is my proof. He may be dropped in the fight but he wont loose. Maidana loose by UD or late stoppage.
Maidana's chin isn't exactly made of granite to be honest. I wouldn't be surprised if he, himself, gets dropped a few times in this fight. I think a lot of this chin stuff has been thrown well out of proportion. I mean, yeah its all okay showing that Prescott knock-out but A LOT has changed since then, trainer, weight-class, body-build, just to name a few. I'm not saying he now has a great chin but I just don't think its as bad as everybody thinks. I believe Khan picks Maidana apart with his speed and that jab, with good movement and good ranged boxing.
