KHAN V MAIDANA: Who Wins And How?

Khans came on a ton under Roach especially his defence but having rewatched Maidana Ortiz last night i just feel like if Khan gets a little edgy under Maidanas pressure and starts throwing his combinations i can see Maidana landing a big right hand and KOing Khan i just dont see Maidana being overawed and too timid like Salita was if Khan lets his hands go Maidana will be throwing bombs back in a brawl.

 

i don'y know who'd win but i want khan to get ktfo. maidana is a shitty boxer, but has a decent chin and good power. i doubt khan would want to get close enough to try and ko maidana, so either it will be a maidana ko or a khan ud.

 

Khan by stoppage if he uses his skills.He is very fast and accurate and if he keeps it at range for a while i think he can cut Maidana and tire him out.He could come unstuck if he does somethng stupid but i dont think he will,Roach will have made it clear how dangerous a fight this is.

 

Kotelnik has a respectable dig, the issue was that he couldn't connect cleanly.

Khan boxes in a different manner now compared to the way he fought Prescott. He doesn't just stand in front of his man and try and out-speed them, he moves, he counters. I don't think he'd lose to Prescott now.

 

Khan batters the very overrated Maidana thats how !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Khan KO and early, inside 6.

 

Khan will use his godly boxing skills and KO Maidana with an awesome punch in the 4th round.

 

On a side note. How **** are Maidana's tats? My 3 yr old could do better with a set of markers and a napkin!

 

Khan, using far superior skills and speed. He will not go anywhere near Maidana to engage him, just in, fast hands, and out again. Round after round...after round. Khan by wide UD.

 

This fight aint gonna last long .... maidana has a suspect chin as well as khan .... Khan by KO round 2 ....

 

Khan by KO.

 

everyone expects maidana to be the counterpuncher, but i see khan coming out playing the counterpuncher role himself...

first few rounds see khan waiting for maidana to throw that right hand then khan stepping in with a flurry of shots then back out again. it stays like this for the first 6-7 rounds then maidana will be very weary about throwing that right, so then khan can step it up and start moving forward against maidana. i say this because, from what i have seen, maidana just doesnt look suited to technical boxing!! he looks more like an all-out-war boxer!!! i can see him getting very frustrated and eventually losing all confidence!!! :ko

 

no they eefing don't.

i agree with the rest of your points though. :good

 

I expect Khan to use his footwork to draw Maidana onto him. Maidana is a plodder with power. He's already seen that Maidana leaves himself open and if you can draw Maidana's lead you can counter him with chopping hooks that floor him. I expect Roach to ask Khan to box to orders and take no risks. Maidana is dangerous with the right hand and although not a crisp shot he finds a home for it and it's hurtful.

I think Khan will try to work Maidana's fleshy body when he uses his raiding tactics. The jab is a huge key...keep Maidana off balance and you got him where you want him. Maidana has a punchers chance and i still don't feel Khan's at home when under pressure. I go for Khan to box his way to victory but who knows how Amir can deal with Maidana's power.

 

Couldn't have said it better. :good
