    people have been saying he needs more inside fighting ability since gomez was body shotting and uppercutting the **** out of him during points in their fight, yet he looked just as bewildered and helpless when maidana got on the inside, it's like he's learned nothing except how to clinch better.

    I think this is obvious, and it's already happened. I like Khan, but he is very vulnerable, and it doesn't seem like that problem is going away.

    Lucky for Khan, 140 is a little short on "skilled punchers" at the moment. If Bradley had any kind of power, other than in his forehead, I'd favor him over Khan instantly.

    Khan has talent, obviously, but he has a less charmed career if he comes up in the 140 pound division of the early and mid 2000s. They'd have had to steer him around guys like Zab and Witter, let alone Cotto, Hatton, etc.

    If anybody was going to knock Khan out at 140 it was going to be Maidana. I'd give Maidana a very good chance of beating Bradley, purely because of his style and attributes. It would be a nightmare match up for Tim. Khan has flaws, not serious flaws though. If he had 'serious' flaws he wouldn't be an established world champion. Nothing a little roach won't fix. :rasta

    I think a guy like Lucas Mathessye has a better chance of knocking out Khan then Maidana.

    Manny was right. I'm sure he is somewhere saying. "The fight turned out exactly how I thought."

    Did Manny also say the ref will deduct 2 points for pushing of all things in a close rough fight?

    Yes he said " A bull**** knockdown by Khan evened out by a point deduction and another point deduction for pushing and holding Lamounts head down the entire freaking fight.. This is exactly what i predicted."

    Stop bitchin'.

    BS Knockdown - gave Khan a 10-8 round

    BS Point docks - lost Khan 2 points

    changing the judges cards would give - 114-114 (x2) 116-112 a Majority DRAW

    Still disappointing for someone who thinks of himself as a top P4P fighter, Bradley and Rios would **** him up.

    With the pushing and holding Petersons head down he deserved 1 point and the other negated the BS KD.

    Yes, I agree. The head holding was much worse than the pushing.
