    I plan on having a punt on:

    Khan by Decision @ 13/5 (+260)

    straddled with

    Maidana by KO @ 13/5 (+260).


    The bookies believe the most likely outcome is Khan by KO/TKO but I just don't see it.

    Seems like a great bet to me. Thoughts? Anyone think I'm crazy?

    This is really the type of fight you don't bet on.

    If you're honestly going to bet, then bet on a Khan or Maidana KO. This won't go the distance, I guarantee it.

    This video should help you

    Dont like the odds, pretty confident Khan will take the decision though.

    I actually think those are the most sensible outcomes. Or Khan outpoints Marcos from the outside, taking no chance at all, or Khan will land on his back. If Khan gets cocky and wants to KO Maidana, he will be the one drooling on the canvas.

    Khan wins by early K.O don't see any other outcome. Maidana just can't hang with Khan

    I find it strange people think Khan is going to KO Maidana. He'll be on his bike all night, very similar to Kotelnik.

    I have Maidana along with Margarito, Martinez and B-Hop.

    I agree but Kotlenik has a tight defence and Maidana does not, leading to a possible Ko.

    I don't think so. If Khan's stopping Maidana, it'll be due to a corner stoppage or ref/doctor stoppage, ain't no way I see Khan putting him away with a bomb, he's not that sort of fighter, regardless of his win over Salita.

    What SB allows for these type of prop options at this point? Or are you waiting till fight time?

    Flash shares my views on this one.

    Khan ran all night against Kotelnik, who isn't much of a puncher. Granted he's improved since then under Roach, but if he was instructed to break paulie malignaggi down slowly for the first 8/9 rounds, you can bet they'll be taking a long term approach to Maidana. The only doubt I have is Maidana walking onto a barrage by carelessly attacking Khan.

    A second reason is that Maidana is a tough ****er. Dropped against Ortiz, came roaring back. Khan is going to have to put on a sensational performance of hurt on him, or else it'll be a corner/ref stoppage.

    That's the way I see it anyway. The odds are very attractive for what I believe will happen. Gun to my head I'd say Khan outskills Maidana to a decision with some shaky moments in between.

    What do you mean by the first part?

    I don't know what way the bookies will have it come fight night over here. Khan will probably shorten closer to the time.

    I don't understand. Khan is expected to KO Maidana according to the bookies? Would you not take advantage of such long odds if you are confident of a decision?

    Khan hasn't a single KO victory to date...he has TKO's but hes never put anyone out cold yet...and theres more chance that Beyonce and Shakira will be lying in my bed sucking me off together before Khan sparks out Maidana, (ie never!) my money will go on Khan getting sparked out, I reckon by round 8

    I can see this also. It's a perfect straddle opportunity, either Maidana gets to him, or Khan gets on his bike all night.
