    Took the biggest punches from one of the biggest punchers in the division and survived... And won . I don't think Bradley or Alexander would have survived that onslaught .

    Good fight , Amir has gotten a lot better and will only continue to improve . I thought the scores were fair. Close but with the point deductions , a clear decision for Khan.

    Shitty interview by merchant , he was drunk and did a terrible interview . Also a note, Maidana is a dirty ****ing fighter and acts like a ***** at times.

    Agreed, great performance and heart . Maidana is a bit of a **** wouldn't even touch gloves and just acts like a complete **** but he's about as tough as they come....warrior.

    Khan was a little too naive in parts of the fight, stood still and took shots he didnt need to. Thought he was a goner in the 10th, needs to show a bit more intelligence in the later rounds.

    Should have kept to the body early on and jabbed Maidana's head off towards the end of the fight.

    Good win for the lad but he needs to learn from it.

    agreed

    great fight... disappointments include: khans defense and ring iq, cortez, maidana sorry loser and dirty. apart from that great fight. khan showed great heart and toughness but roach better drill into him he needs to improve his execution of the gameplan

    Khan is just so overhyped. He was holding on and with a different ref he could have been cake. He is sloppy and his impression of Manny after getting hit is pretty lamb.
    HBO talking about how amazing he is. He was looking up at the clock at times, running for dear life and without question has both a defense and chin problem. He is still a B+ fighter.

    guy tried to elbow khan but got cortez!lol,need tht gif image now!.

    khan did a pac,made a easy fight harder by going to to toe,taking punishment to show his toughness,heart and conditioning.

    due to that his defence looked lesser than normal.]

    maidana will get a title of lesser champion,khan took serious shots others in the division wont take. khan gave bad ass body shot and maidana got up,but others woudlnt have!.

    I was very impressed with Khan's speed and movement. He also has a very nice jab, right uppercut, and long right hands. He got careless at times and laid on the ropes and let Maidana catch him with some good shots. I thought Khan won more rounds and won the first 8 rounds of the fight but thought Maidana did more damage and won the last 3-4 rounds. Also, I had more respect for Cortez before tonight...he intervened too many times.

    I still think Bradley is the best fighter in the division (besides Pacquaio). He will easily beat Alexander in January.

    I'm not impressed by Khan. Even though he won it cleanly, he fought imo like a s1ssy. He talk all the **** that he will ko Maidana and will stand in there rather then running by proving a point. What point did he prove? Or by running soo many times and was holding many times. And some say Maidana was a dirty fighter? lol Khan was the one that was holding like there was no tommorow in which not once Joe didn't warn Khan. Joe warn Hatton for holding so why didn't he warn Khan? And Khan thinks he can beat Mayweather? HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

    Great performance from both fighters, but a good scrap does not suddenly take a fighter to the topjww. Bradley snatched that title from Witter and has defended against durable competitors for a long time now. He earned his right at the top. As soon as Bradley UD's Alexander they will make Bradley VS Khan and Bradley most probably loses a close fight, although its way too early to tell.

    Good fights.:thumbsup

    i agree with some of your points... but you have to admit he has some positives from this as well... biggest negative was his ring iq was poor and did not or could not execute the gameplan... if he didn't get caught in the 10th i think he would've had maidana out as ...maidana was very tired.

    positives for khan are his hand speed, good pop - put maidana down with body shots - composure when on ***** street...still had enough nouse to hold on, look at the clock etc.,

    yes would've been better if he fought the championship rounds instead of running but still deserves credit for what he survived in 10 after being caught with a very sloppy looping shot.

    i agree he has been overhyped his whole career but this fight answers a lot of the questions the fans were asking about his chin...he went in with the biggest hitter at 140 and survived...and survived is the appropriate word....now he needs to show he can dominate a banger with his skills

    khan conditioning worked for him in this fight not really his skills

    Berto I guess said he would like to fight the winner of Khan-Maidana... How do you think Khan would fair against him?
