For me, Khan proved his chin and proved he will defeat Bradley soon

Thats the key right there, Khan is great at controlling range with normal boxer, (harder vs pressure fighters like Maidana who kept coming and not letting Khan to land solid jabs plus wanted to walk though them) with his jab.

Khan has a great long fast jab as seen in the Paulie fight, Bradley will want to slip and duck past that fast jab and get inside but its not that easy, Khan is 5'10 Bradley is 5'6 and that would be a another big factor in this fight.

Khan WILL mostly control the range.

 

Truly awful avatar, Poppy. Ariza does indeed look like a ******.

I'll have to disagree with the consensus here. Fighters don't prove their chin by getting knocked silly for almost three whole rounds. They prove it by not getting knocked silly. Khan was out on his feet. He was all over the place, and inches away from getting stopped. His senses were lost, his legs were shot. The fact he got through it all is a testament to his will and fighting spirit. He gets mad props, but as I say, you don't almost get knocked out in a fight and prove your chin.

In case anyone is interested, what very good fighters has Maidana knocked out cold with a single shot? ...Perhaps his pure punching power is being overstated somewhat.

 

good points and agree with you on bradley to a certain extent, however what worries me about khan-bradley match up is khan apparent lack of ability to nullify the inside fighter. i've not seen him fight on the onsode nor keep insoide fighters away for 12 rounds long enough. like you said bradleys power is not the same as maidana so they'll be less respect shown there but still bradley could win rounds and do damage if allowed to on the inside. also bradley has better head movement and may slip the jab a few times to come inside something maidana didn't really do.

 

spot on

 

How the heck did this prove that he beats Bradley? Maidana is not a better boxer than Bradley. Maidana is a pressure, volume, and power type guy. Bradley will exploit Khan's holes in his defense.

 

Khan is an excepetional boxer and last night worked in his benefit in claiming will be number 1 P4P fighter in the world, but mark my words by no means is bradley going to be an easy fight, He will cause khan trouble and its going to be hard to pick a winner outta that one

 

Exactly, or maybe getting knocked silly for a second and then coming back from it quickly. Most of Maidana's shots didn't land flush on Amir's chin, but on his forehead and other parts of his head. I can't discredit him though, it has improved

 

Did you even watch the fight ? Khan took many a good shot bang on the chin at least 20 most of which came on the inside.
A lot of refs would have stopped that fight Khans a lucky boy but his chin isn't as bad as was made out but still not good enough imo.

 

Couldn't have said it any better myself.
