Khan v Maidana - Bad style for Amir???

I'm not kidding, Maidana K.O 1.

The first shot he put Ortiz with was brutal. Fair play to Ortiz to getting up.

It was like The Terminator. Beautiful right hook from Ortiz puts Maidana down. No effect. He rises. He throws a punch. Ortiz is ****ed!

I think Maidana will take Khan's punches long enough to destroy him. If Khan were to avoid getting hit hard enough to get stopped the entire night it will have to be with a performance worthy of Benitez/Pea/Pep, which ain' gonna' happen lets face it.

So, after all this 'I want to be World champion', Khan will probably ditch his belt as I can't see Warren allowing him to fight a mandatory like Maidana.

 

Maidana looks like a real hard nut ,who would walk through your shots to land his big bombs...amir will have nightmares .

 

Maidana KO1

 

styles make fights and kotelnik will be a harder fight for Khan, i'm convinced anyone with khans attributes who establishes a stiff jab beats maidana, ortiz is an emotional reck and he fought a dumb fight, allowing for khans obvious weakness, he has the tools especially now with a very good strategist to beat maidana convincingly, the importance of a consistant jab against fighters like maidana cannot be over emphasized, khan has a brillient jab (if brought out and fine tuned could be virgill hill, ike quartey, DLH esque) i think it'll be allowed to flourish under roach. Khan UD

 

prescott written all over it!

 

Maidana gets so much reach into some of his punches, Khan cannot avoid them, yet he can avoid Maidana and that is what he should do.

 

Yes.

But Maidana has proven that he can be timed with straight and wide punches.Fast and accurate though.

So Khan might have a chance but I 'd pick Maidana to knock him out.

 

He has a good style for Amir in my opinion but Amir will get KO'ed

 

a fast, accurate, consistant, varied jab (i.e to the body and hooking of it) off sets him and nollifys it, don't get me wrong khans boxing IQ isn't exactly the best and he would have to fight damn near the perfect fight, stick to the game plan and not get flustered, but thats where Roach comes in

btw how many jabs did ortiz throw? i don't have the compubox numbers, but from what i saw he throw very little and that was stupid considering the style of the opponent, maidana is type of fighter who looks a beast when you fight his fight ala miranda but looks as confused as a woodpecker in a concrete jungle when a guy brings the right tools.

 

Kotelnik went to war with Maidana in patches, but for the most part he was trying to box him. Kotelnik got a debatable decision, which shows he can fight it out with boxers as well and not just sluggers.

 

In all the fuss over Ortiz chucking it and not making any attempt to hide the fact in the interview after the fight, i think folk are getting carried away in their praise for Maidana. Yes, he's tough, a hard puncher, good chin, but i terms of technical ability he's not all that great. People are forgetting Ortiz had him in big, big trouble early in the fight and had it not been for the bell then he would no doubt have finished Maidana off.

This is a difficult fight for Khan style-wise, of course, but its equally difficult for Maidana. I doubt Ortiz threw 10 jabs in the whole fight. He was outboxing Maidana but chose to trade big shots. Khan wont be making those mistakes. He wouldnt quit like that either.

 

10 jabs? :shock: thats pathetic and emphasizes my point

btw you're right people are getting carried away with that win, i was never sold on ortiz, no chin, little heart and poor boxing IQ
