    Yep, thats exactly what I think.

    I dont expect Khan to take the fight to Maidana unless Maidana gets extremely tired towards the end. I reckon he will use his Kotelnik template but have an easier time of it.

    Of course the interesting thing is I only have to be wrong for half a second and the fight could be all over! :good

    Well you've hardly gave a good breakdown now, have you?

    Pressure fighters suit Boxers, because the Boxer can always 'box' the **** out of the Pressure fighter because the pressure fighter will come forward and open his offense and try to get you to brawl and leave himself open for counters when doing so.

    Especially with Maidana, who is slow, open and has terrible defence. A guy like Maidana is MADE for Khan.

    The type of people Khan will struggle with are Boxer Punchers such as Victor Ortiz who is hell for Khan.

    Look at the Corley fight. Look at the Cayo fight. Look how they both box and even with pitter patter punches, they really pissed Maidana off and flung his head back. Khan will hurt Maidana hugely with speed.

    Maidana won't have been ready for the type of speed Khan would be implementing in this fight. This fight would be a complete mismatch if Maidana didn't have power.

    I pick Maidana to win as I feel Khan will get caught at least once anyway but I'm not ruling out a Khan win at all.

    Nothing like it, Burns took the fight to Martinez after being caught flush and put on his backside in the first. Despite his lack of power Burns was the aggressor throughtout and if he carried more of a punch would probably got the stoppage. Burns took a **** load of punishment that night and there was a couple of times that his iron chin kept him in the fight.

    Now imagine Khan's iron chin keeping him in a fight?..........

    He will backpedal his way to a points win or a late stoppage.

    Well even though he boxed beutiful against Kotelnik there were moments when Kotelnik was hitting Khan. He wasn't completely shut out by Khan's defence.

    Kotelnik template? Kotelnik was a sitting target all night just like all the others who have lost to Maidana. They ALL stood in front of Maidana.

    You can't hit what's not there. Maidana is relying on the one punch, which is stupid.

    I expect Maidana to have his worst night and look like a complete novice, although I'm not ruling out a chance on him being victorious.

    True that, sooner or later Khan will take a flush shot and a lot of questions will be answered. I just dont think it will be Maidana that lands it.

    I meant Khan boxing the way he boxed against Kotelnik.
