    Will Maidana's power and pressure be too much for Khan to handle, or will Khan outclass Maidana with superior speed and boxing?

    Who are you betting your mortgage on and why?

    My prediction is Khan will easily outbox and outscore Maidana for 5 rounds while Maidana trys to get lucky by throwing bomb after bomb, everybody will talk about how Khans walking this cuz hes far superior then BANG. 6th round KO victory to Maidana.

    This is guna be the thing with Khan, i think with his speed hes guna dominate anybody at 140 reletivly easily but while hes in with power punchers it could all be over in a second.

    I think his chin may of toughened up a little now hes at a more comftable weight for his body but he was super soft chinned at Lightweight, 1 weight up aint guna make that big a difference.

    good analysis dude, I was thinking pretty much the same thing.

    So you don't think that amir "fine china" khan has the bang to really hurt maidana?

    Ya I got it from the Ron Dayne-Tiki Barber combo on the giants, it's not very original, but it sounds cool.

    No one thinks Khan can hurt Maidana? He has put quite a few guys down.

    More like everyone feels Maidana is Jake Lamotta reincarnated. Victor had no problem dropping him.

    Khan, with all his talent and skills, WILL get clocked at some point; it's a certainty. We know for a fact he has a bad chin (so bad that even if it's improved it'll still be ... bad) and that Maidana punches very, VERY hard.

    That's what levels the playing field here; Khan can but on an all but perfect performance but all it takes is one minor lapse and Maidana can end it. Or at least drop Khan, bag the round 10-8, and make Khan shell up all gunshy for the next 4 rounds.


    Also, Khan will be keeping them gloves high all night, while Maidana loves going to the body. How's that gonna play out?

    Khan will make this look easy.

    I am not a fan of his , but do respect his talents.

    Maidana , for all his bravery and guile he will be eating jabs all night.

    Khans speed and underated technical ability will be far too much for Maidana.

    I see it being very one sided and a tired , frustrated Maidana actually gets stopped late.
