Khan = Another HBO WAYYYY overhyped fighter

Nah Tims not over hyped Devon is.

 

Are you still on here??

i thought you had quit?

you have made more comebacks than the rolling stones!!!!

 

people are hard on Khan. He is a hard puncher and he gutted it out and showed heart. Fast puncher and sharp. He needs a little refinement but he showed something good tonight. He didn't quit like Ortiz did, he is a real fighter. Give him credit.

 

I don't think if people believe the hype that is Khan's problem. Fact is he showed heart and skill and won a decision against what they called the hardest punching 140 pound fighter. He deserves credit. There is too much overrating on this board and then underrating later. A guy like Ortiz quits and he gets less criticism than Khan for hanging in there and showing heart.

 

Maidana lost. He didn't do much for many of those early rounds. Khan is the winner here no matter how people spin the loss for Maidana. Had Khan landed that left to the body more I thought he could stop Maidana early with that punch. Everytime Khan landed a body punch Maidana would stop in his tracks and stop moving forward. It took all the energy out of him, which is why I was surprised Khan did not try it more. Khan is not experienced enough to know what punches to land, but when he does get experienced, well tonight showed he is going to be good. His chin is not great, but it is not that bad. If it was bad he would have been knocked out. He took the punches and that right hand punch well. He was hurt but he stayed up. Give a guy credit for heart. Who cares what the odds were, I saw comments on here that Khan was going to be knocked out easily. Well he wasn't. He won the fight.

 

And you my friend need to go to bed

 

I never overrated him other people did. My point is he had a good win tonight. Showed heart and edged out a decision and people are saying Maidana is the winner. Khan is the winner. The experience he gained and the confidence of not going down when he was hit clean. I never said he was an ATG already and the stuff about Roach being a great trainer is overrated, Roach just has good fighters in his corner. As a matter of fact I think Roach missed something if he didn't tell Khan to land more body punches since he would have stopped Maidana if he did. But this fight for Khan was great for him. He is going to be a better fighter after this.

 

maybe so. But if he gets experience and can put those fast hands and power to more economical use in the ring, he will be better. He won the percentage of punches 45 to 20 and people say Maidana won the event. Totally ridiculous. Khan won the event and the fight. I am not a big fan of Khan since he is still a young fighter who has not proven much yet, but I give a man credit where credit is due. He showed a huge heart and good skills . He won the fight.

 

Finally someone with brains
