He can't. But like said, it's all about dicipline and concentration from Khan's side if he can keep that up for 12 rounds. I say no, judging from what I've seen from him thus far. And if he loses concentration, focus, dicipline for a while will he be lucky and don't get caught? I'm thinking that's why Marcos is such a problematic opponent for Khan, he can pull an 100 punch avarage a round (that's really a hell of a lot) so the chance he gets him is quite big. It will always be Khan's weak point and probably prohibits him to really become an elite fighter, he has the skills but can anyone see him in the ring with guys like Pac or Floyd and stay upright the full 12 ?!?!? Can't see that happening.
He can take puches for a while, but I don't think he'll take them for 12 rounds, obviously if he does he wins by a wide UD. But I'm going with Maidana by late stoppage.
Can Khan take a clean power shot from Maidana? I doubt it. Can 99% of 140lbers take a clean shot from Maidana? I doubt it.
Khan may survive the first 5 rounds but once he'll get hit with a flush,,its over. Khan should start using plaster, but not to his hands, but to his jaw!
If he takes one flush to the jaw coming forward he is going down and I doubt he'd get up. If he takes a massive one under the heart I reckon he's down as well. That's fairly ture across most of the boxers at 140lbs though. Maidana hits like a train but Khan is pretty elusive. More than likely he will take a couple of semi-planted hits and go down before getting back up. If he hits flush though it's probably curtains
Khan has never been KTFO by a single punch. I think if he gets hurt he'll have the brains to recover this time
yes i am really not convinced by maidana at all. i dont believe he is as hard a puncher as he is hyped to be. we will see come fight night, but my gut instinct is maidana dont have the tools to knock khan out.
I agree that Maidana's power is probably being over-rated (Corley apparently said he didn't hit as hard as was expected) but, come on, even Tweetie-Pie's got the tools to knock Khan out. The question is whether he's got the tools to get close enough.
Amir Bankroll Khan doesn't have to survive for 12 rounds, because Maidana will get sparked out. The fight will not go that far. I like Khan, but he's ****ed if Maidana lands a good shot.
