Much as I hate Khan and love seeing that Prescott KO....if Zak is picking Maidana then I know for certain that Khan is winning this one. Shame.
Go Maidana....I mean Khan is iight, just don't like Golden Boy....he goes down, who else would Golden Boy have....Sual?....please
i never noticed how dirty Maidana fought in that Ortiz fight till now when i watched that video. not saying Ortiz wasn't holding/hitting and rabbit punching either but he didn't initiate it, he only started doing it when he was getting desperate but Maidana was doing it almost the whole fight.
Khan is going to dominate maidana. Modern day Amir Khan is a completely different animal than the one 2 yrs+ ago
This is true... Salita was like 50% KO and Malignaggi is like 10%. But if he takes Maidana's punch, I won't talk **** about his chin again.
he can't take his punch. Why do you think he ducked him for over a year when Maidana was his mandatory?
Khan was a cocky, undefeated 22 year old kid who thought he couldn't be beaten. 2 years later he's a cocky kid with a huge chip on his shoulder from all the haters and from actually losing and realizing hes not invincible. He's been training with sparring punchers who hit just as hard as maidana. He's become a physical specimen under alex ariza. He's mentally strong, and has excellent boxing skills after working with Freddie Roach the past 2 years. I think what happens outside the ring is just as important as far as analyzing a fight as what happens in it. The 22 year old Khan isn't the guy coming to fight maidana. Not even close. When he was 22 years old and younger, he fought 'live' opponents, without serious trainers/sparring partners/strength/mental conditioning... He's been preparing specifically for Marcos Maidana for a long time now. He'll be overprepared come fight night, and it'll make it an easy fight. That's how I see it. But we'll find out on fight night.
I don't think Khan can handle Maidana's punches. I also don't think Maidana will ever catch up with him. Khan UD12. I'll be more impressed if Khan takes Maidana's best punch and is still standing at the end of the fight, but I doubt that happens.
Can't wait for Dec 11 because these forums will be flooded with Khan threads. There will be complete pwnage of either the Khan haters or fans A controversial fighter like Khan and Mayweather always make things interesting on a forum :tong
