    This is what I've heard mostly and agree with. Not 100% sure if he can KO him, but I wouldn't want to take the risk if I were him. If he can outbox him for 12 rounds why wouldn't he?

    I dont think Khan can KO Maidana (Khan has never got a proper KO against anyone...he has some TKOs but ive never seen him actually KO anyone). Khans has great hand speed, but thats mainly just arm punches with no real KO power behind them and his stoppages have come from fast flurries of pretty light punches. Khans punching power is hugely overrated IMO.

    It'll be an interesting fight, Ive got Maidana winning it though.

    I doubt it. It will be safety first all the way for khan in this fight.

    His 70%+ KO ratio begs to differ.

    I guess Maidana could fall down a set of stairs on his way to the fight.....could soften him up a little.

    Possibly but me being a Khan fan I gotta admit that getting Maidana into a slugfest is a VERY dangerous thing to do. I hope Khan wins and it would be best for him to outbox Maidana. Capitalize on his mistakes.

    He can force a stoppage yes, dont know if he can seriously hurt!!! Maidana, but he can hurt him enough to the point where he can put some punches together disorganize him, where by he looks more hurt than he actually is, particularly the way Maidana puts both hands up and tries to take shots on the gloves.

    Khan is a fast straight! puncher, and Maidana is wide open through the middle of his guard, he is also not the quickest guy, so respoding to those combinations, might be a problem to.

    Maidana IMO, has to make sure he gets Amir backing up, maneuver him to where he wants him to be, even if its just to make him expend more energy than he would like so he can capatlize on his fatigue later, he cant afford to let Khan keep him the centre and use his speed.

    Well I'm a fan of DA & Khan but they still need to live up to their potential. Bradley doesn't really need to because most people already see him as the man to beat at 140 and for right reasons. Personally I think he is the man @ 140.


    Both have good chins but I think you're referring to their great recovery time too. Prescott I heard didn't look too good in his last fight and now Khan is levels above him.


    Definitely. He clearly has more boxing ability than Maidana so why not use it? Not smart to try to bang with a banger if you can easily outbox them not saying this fight is "easy" for any man. Anything could happen but I hope the fanman doesn't show up again.

    Watch the Salita fight. I know that Salita sucks but that was a KO.

    Yes, Maidanas defense is nonexistent. Khans jab is like a ****ing piledriver and that alone should be enough to crack the wall later on in the fight.

    Khan's jab will bust em' up and expect him to finish him off in clinical fashion.
