Khan's chin, if nothing else, gets my praise. I've always thought Maidana's power was a little overrated, but it's still the best at 140 (you want true raw, power then look no further than Randall Bailey). Khan took mad flush shots and stayed upright and fired back. You have to respect that.
His chin did hold up alright, but he was on the run for the final quarter of the fight and gets hit a little too much for my liking.
I think that he will probably run 140, but i cant imagine him having much success at the higher weight classes.
P.S. I cant believe golden boy are considering feeding Ortiz to Khan after putting so much effort into building him up. What a flop that poor kid has been, i hope the same doesnt happen to Frankie Gomez.
Man Khan aint got no chin, Maidana simply a fringe contender to me who only got there by beating amped up prospect, Khan proved nothing.

I give credit to khan for this fight, F*ck that referee cortez fu*kin ******, fuc*kin chicano just like the rest goin against their own kind(latinos) maidana had the ko coming bbut the fu*ckin referee did a bad job:Flush:
Is madana on something? He didnt even seemed tired. He should get tested, or maybe khan should have given him more body punches to slow him down a bit.
Crooked ass joe cortez
breaks them up as khan turns his back on maidana twice
maidana could've cold clocked khan there and knock him out twice! Joe cortez steps in and let khan turn around!
This is boxing! Protect urself at all times! If u turn ur back it's either an 8 count or u get clocked for **** like that!
Cortez is a piece of ****!
Its because of fans like you that make this sight 50% crap. Your fighter loses and you reach for an excuse. What about all those clean crisp combo's Khan landed round after round on Maidana? There must be an excuse why Cortez was at fault. Oh, I got it, its because Joe lined him self up to have the reflection of the lights, bouncing off his bald head, blind Maidana while khan fired away. Yeah, that's it. Damn ref.
no, I agree that it should have been an 8 count, but I think what the ref did was better for maidana's chances to get a ko. Look at it again objectively, after the ref seperated them, maidana went right back to punishment and kahn was a hair away from being ko'd.
A standing 8 would have given khan time to recoupe. I actually think the ref gave maidana a chance to end it there by not giving the 8 count. Maidana just couldn't capitalize.
