    Accept for the 10th round Khan used his fast feet and fast hands to school Maidana winning an easy UD..

    Maidana even gave Khan a real beating in the 10th round for 3mins but so called glass chined Khan held on like a real warrior that he is.

    Maidana didn't drop him once...

    Respect to Khan who many fought will get KOed by KO machine Maidana back then who only had that one loss vs Kotelnik a guy who Khan schooled to, many thought Maidana beat Kotlenik too.

    I think Maidana is a more polished fighter now than when he fought Khan, was he under Garcia when he fought him??

    Khan SURVIVED the Maidana fight... barely.
    He also had some help doing it with Cortez standing in the way when he was in big trouble.
    It was comparable to Provo vs Bradley.

    But the fact he did survive against Maidana and edged a decision is a feat on it's own of course.

    No Khan was the champion and was way up on the cards..

    Plus even so in the 10th he was getting beaten on.. He still knew what was going on and even slipping some shots.

    It's a bit sad that Khan has turned into the laughing stock of the division based on his chin alone. He used to be a pretty decent LWW but all the crushing defeats broke him. There is no excuse for looking this bad against Diaz.

    Khan also legitimately beat Maidana even though it was hella close. The way he stumbled through the ring in round 10 (?) was pretty hilarious but bottom line is, he made it through with a slight (but deserved) lead on the score cards so all credit to him.

    I think back then Maidana was new to 147 he looks better at the weight now.

    But Alexander did box him really well that's true.

    I know its cool to hate Khan, but he deserves his props for this. Maidana is really the type of guy that should KO Khan brutally considering what his weaknesses are.

    Khan and Broner have both been talented guys at a very young age. There is one difference between them however and that is attitude.

    After the defeat to Prescott, Amir Khan was back in the gym the very next day with a point to prove. After Broner got beat last night, he's talking about partying like he won anyway.

    This is the difference between eventually being able to beat a guy like Maidana, and getting what Adrien Broner got from him last night.
