    proved his chin in fairness - no argument

    asking for trouble last few rounds - on his toes big time, shoulda kept the jab in the face & then quick combo's? survival mode or what?

    KEEP THE JAB IN THE NUT!!!!!

    why didn't he target the body more after initial stoppage????

    great to see him take those punches. maidana showed great heart and if khan hadn't been caught with that bog shot in the 10th he probably would've had maidana out of there by 12. instead he got caught with silly punch and paid the price late on and was lucky to survive.

    i was hoping he would school maidana but the gameplan went through the window early on.... khan still needs to develop....one thing he did show was great heart, courage and a much improved chin - down to his fitness and conditioning no doubt.

    would like to see a rematch. on a side note i think maidana was great but he was dirty little bugger... didn't tough glove on round 1 instead tried to knock khans block off...dirty on the inside (which is fair enough)....but worse thng....he was a typical sorry ass south american argie loser. didn't like the **** his team put up about the falklands either.

    Khan was surviving at that point, quite miraculous he did.

    The chin bit he proved.And Im glad,it shuts up the glass jaw bell ends for a while.As for losing the jab in the last few rounds I would say its sign of a tired fighter in a very hard fight, with a very good fighter showing what is natural,tiredness!
    Khan will have to move up in weight,then we will see.Tonight it looked as thought he was fighting a feather weight.I mean no disrespect to Marcus Maidana.Hell of a fighter who Im sure will be welcomed back here any ti
