Was one hell of a fight, I dont know how in the hell Maidana got up from those body shots, and how in the hell Khan made it out of the 10th. Both guys get mad props and did their thing.
Maidana looked like he was going to lay there in pain. I was shocked he got up, he kind of looked like Ortiz when he faced him. Grimacing in pain when he got up.
I really don't see the need for a rematch. Assuming Khan continues to improve, the fight would likely progress like the first-- Khan enjoying a large lead on the scorecard with some nail-biting moments in the concluding rounds of the bout mixed in.
Not now. Let them both establish themselves more, then when (if) they're both established stars, it will make a lot of sense.
:deal Khan-Maidana FOTY candidate. Maidana overmatched in the speed and skill department, but that didn't stop him from taking Khan into deep waters late in the fight. Khan built a huge early lead and I think he should of won even without the knockdowns. The last round was close they wanted to finish big, but I think the 12th Maidana won that one. He was making Khan fight his fight. Great fight. Surpassed my expectations. :good
Maidana won clearly the 10th, 11th and 12th. Or you bought the Khan's flurries when the round was over and Maidana already domianted the round. But I agree with the rematch thing. +1 I saw it even at 113-113, but Maidana's stamina was very poor like always. Ortiz-Maidana for what??? Ortiz hasnt' earned a chance and doesn't stand a chance against Maidana.
