Marcos Maidana: No Plan B, I'm Coming To Knock Khan Out!

By Mark Vester

Marcos Maidana has no desire to make it a boxing match when he faces WBA junior welterweight champion Amir Khan on December 11 at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. He is coming to the ring with one goal in mind, to win the contest by knockout. He doesn't think much of Khan's chin and expects a single punch to close the show.

"I don't really think about plan B at the moment," Maidana told Morning Star.  "I am going to fight the way I know which is going forward and try to knock him out. I don't think Amir Khan has the punch to stop me and I think I can take him out with just one punch."

Maidana never watched Khan's one minute destruction at the hands of Briedis Prescott. He saw the recent win over Paulie Malignaggi and there certain aspects of the fight that gave the Argentine puncher more confidence to win by knockout.

"I didn't even really watch the knockout," he admits. "I just watched a few rounds of his fight with (Paulie) Malignaggi, but the most important thing to me is I know myself."
