A Khan fan but I don't like to see him him hit and run and circle away, he makes the fight more exciting like that yes but would like to see him stand close and slip and slide rather than having to dodge in and out all the time.
I think he's still in the learing process so he just want to display his speed and get the heck out of there . Either that or he just doesn't have the killer instinct / heart of a champion.
He fights more like Sugar Ray Leonard than Ali. You don't lose points for running away, especially if you land 3 to 1 on your opponent for the most part. It's boxing, the ring is there to be utilised.
First of all: When an American does that (****ING DIRRELL) it's called boxing, when a so called "Eurobum" does that, it's called running. Jeeez, talking about lack of consistency of many ESB members... otherwise these Eurobums are always called one dimensional facefirst brawlers... Secondly: Marcos Maidana isn't particular the type you trade punches with, he is known as today's hardest hitting 140 pounder in that division. You have to be smart or else it's lights out, and especially Khan who has been called china chin whole the time. We can all guess what would happen when he trade with Maidana... it would be round 10 in the first round, and round 1 of Prescott fight in the second round = lights out baby!! Last: Okay, he ran... wouldn't you? If you were a fighter with a glass jaw, wouldn't you run and box a little more? At least Khan wasn't negative the whole time like Kingpin, Dirrell and all those other ****s... He gave us a possible FOTY, he engaged Maidana, boxed brilliantly, went in and out with flurries (running like many would call it), and won a close decision!! I think many nuthuggers just are dissapointed that he won and that he wasn't KTFO by Maidana. Now these ****s are already talking about how Alexander or Bradley would school them...Jeeez Remember, boxing lost many fans to MMA... JUST BE ****ING GRATEFUL BOTH FIGHTERS (who fought their hearts out) GAVE US A GREAT SHOW!! Ungrateful ****s!!
Uh. I don't know who I'm arguing with, I'll just add to this. Dirrell was being very negative and dirty, Khan was on the backfoot, wasn't excessively holding and Maidana was doing the illegal ****. Haters gonna hate. He did show shades of the 6 million dollar man though.
I used to be a hater, but with the current reputation of the sport, I think we all have to support the fighters who are good for the sport. Khan proved that he is really good for boxing, always giving us fanfriendly fights, great show in winning (yes and in losing) bouts!!
