[VIDEO] R.I.P Maidana. Amir is looking FAST. On Some Mach speed

i hope for us fight fans sake and for maidana's sake, he trained and focused on his timing, punching with and in between khans punches, because thats his only chance at landing cleanly.

War Khan! http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/7148/15703047035645755926253.jpg lets hope my boy pulls through on saturday....but props to maidana as well the guys no joke or a bum....and some good videos as well TS

Boxing skill Malignaggi > Maidana and didnt land that cleanly. 12 round UD for Khan.

He also has what I call a "fast chin." He gets hit clean-- he's outa there fast! Kick his as* Maidana! Ima down an energy drink like a tequila shot before the fight and get f*ckin' nuts!!!:banghead:

to be fair those opponents you named all have very different styles to maidana if anything will make khan crumble it will be the pressure and the power of maidana's punches malignaggi we know isn't a big puncher kotelnik is slow and pretty basic and barrera is a boxer puncher but he was fighting way above his prime weight and his prime days and it ended with a headbutt to boot Maidana has fought some good fighters on his way up Khan has been matched well i think khan's skills will be too much for maidana but to say he won't be successfull based off how what happened in the other fights i think is a mistake The point was on styles, it was on counter punching ability. It was the only way they caught Khan clean on the chin. If they pressed the fight, they would meet up with 5 punch combination that they could barely see, let alone counter. All the excuses you posed to discredit Khan's opposition is all good, but fact remains that hey are better counter punchers than Maidana and they rarely were able to catch Khan clean, despite being faster and better counter punchers. That last paragraph was just terrible man, just terrible. How do bookies set betting lines? How do you make a prediction if you don't take into account what they did in past fights? Should a decision be based on how he hits the mitts? How tall he is?

To the people saying Khan has never been hurt to the body Michael Gomez definitely hurt him to the body And i'm a Khan fan

Khan is fast and has really quick hands ...wonder what happens when he gets clipped proper tho :puppy_dog he will be ZZZZzzzzzz ! :boxing:

Only chance Maidana has is weathering the early storm and taking this to the later rounds where Amir will be a little slower. Maybe he can land a punch then. i think khan will have success doing what he does best boxing and moving but if maidana can trick him into thinking he can mix it up abit with him then he has a chance if khan does open up and try and knock maidana out he may also have an opportunity to hit khan with something significant ortiz is a good boxer aswell and maidana dragged him into his in kind of fight i think khan and roach are too smart for that however amir is a fighter at heart if he gets hurt he is going to have to resort to just fighting and thats what maidana has to do to win i think

When has Khan ever been hurt to the body? You must be using selective memory because Khan takes body shots well, it's Maidana who doesn't seem to take body shots well. His chin is still shaky, except for the Malignaggi fight, he does not react well to clean head shots. Khan's defense is tight though, Malignaggi, Kotelnik, and Barrera found it Hard to hit him and were only able to catch him clean with a rare counter punch every 2 or 3 rounds. Maidana isn't just some crude puncher, he has good countering ability, but the 3 opponents mentioned are even better and slightly faster and were seldom able to catch him. If Maidana catches Khan with a clean counter, he hurts him, but it'll take more to finish him off. Khan will find it hard to miss the jab and if he puts some shtos to the body, Maidana will be out of there in 8. to be fair those opponents you named all have very different styles to maidana if anything will make khan crumble it will be the pressure and the power of maidana's punches malignaggi we know isn't a big puncher kotelnik is slow and pretty basic and barrera is a boxer puncher but he was fighting way above his prime weight and his prime days and it ended with a headbutt to boot Maidana has fought some good fighters on his way up Khan has been matched well i think khan's skills will be too much for maidana but to say he won't be successfull based off how what happened in the other fights i think is a mistake

he's also a clever and sneaky puncher. it tickles me when people say he's a basic club swinging brawler. i hope amir and his team thinks so because they're in for a surprise. as much as i like Khan and will be supporting him because he's British i have to say i kind of hope you're right and he gets exposed i hate it when fighters and their camps underestimate opponents for amir's sake he better not be because i see maidana as more then a crude brawler aswell i didn't see his last fight i heard it wasn't very impressive but he will surely come into this fight more motivated and if anything i want to see him land something clean on Amir just so we can see how he deals with it because that is the big question maybe the only question going into this fight

Maidana does love going to the body and Khan is almost as fragile there as up top; Maidana will slow him down and bring down those hands after a few rounds. When has Khan ever been hurt to the body?

rly? you doubt..? way to reapeat his coache's words. have u seen maidana fights at all? all of his punches hard. he doesn't have just 1 punch ko.. this kid throws bombs all the time. he's also a clever and sneaky puncher. it tickles me when people say he's a basic club swinging brawler. i hope amir and his team thinks so because they're in for a surprise.

this fight is going to be a replica of Vernon vs Mayorga 1 (or 2) :bottle:

Sounds like both teams know exactly what they're dealing with. To be fair though, it looks like Khan is bringing a gun to a knife fight. And we know how that sort of scuffle ends.

nah, maidana is gonna go in looking for the magic punch, i doubt they trained on new things as it would have only wasted time and messed up his style, i think theyve probably wprked alot on stamina as maidana looked gassed in his last fight with corley. rly? you doubt..? way to reapeat his coache's words. have u seen maidana fights at all? all of his punches hard. he doesn't have just 1 punch ko.. this kid throws bombs all the time.

i see some turns there ala pacquiao

Khan looks great, he has to make sure that he does not try to knock out Maidana, if he does then the fight will be over quickly. As long as he concentrates on boxing he will win, and he will win convincingly. Maidana is going to try to go hard after Khan's chin, he is an aggresive fighter... He will tire himself out, and there will be stoppage in the later rounds.. I have Khan finishing him in the 8th..

Khan ain't no Mayweather though, and Hatton still landed on him. I don't think Maidana is a Hatton either. Hatton had better handspeed and a committed body attack and was more wiley. I can't help but think Maidana is severely basic. I can't pick him to win because he shouldn't win.
