Khan is not a dirty fighter, mate. A dirty fighter would be someone like Holyfield or Hopkins, and possibly even Andre Ward. If you really want to pick apart the fouls in the fight, re-watch it and count how many times Maidana hits Khan in the back of the head, hits Khan when Cortez is breaking them on the clinch, not to mention the attempted snide elbow + when Khan attempted to touch gloves at the beginning of the fight, Maidana went for a sneaky hook.
Maidana is a much dirtier fighter.
But that's besides the point - it wasn't even a dirty fight - it was a competitive action packed fight, filled with drama, and both fighters showed tremendous valour.
