Amir Khan faught very stupid...

So khan almost got ktfo? when ? ... when he got KNOCKED DOWN IN THE FIRST ROUND? oh wait........................................................... I'll take that as concession that you don't know what your talking about. :pat:

Rofl, almost getting knocked out and having to hang on for dear life at points in the fight means it wasn't a beautiful fight. it was a gutsy performance, not a beautiful one. If you was to see a beautiful, flawless performance go check out Whitaker vs Chavez, Hopkins vs Pavlik, Winky Wright vs Felix Trinidad etc etc. Those are beautiful, flawless performances.

Beautiful??? Lol that was not a beatiful fight. You can argue that Amir didn't fight a stupid fight, but that was far from a beautiful performance dude. he fought a tough opponent and fought his heart out and proved the skeptics wrong. he fought a beautiful fight and you dont know sh!t about boxing nut hugger

he fought a stupid fight? amir fought a beautiful fight. the reason he got knocked out by prescott was when he got hit he didnt have the sense enough to back the hell up and keep to the outside and box his ears off. watch that fight again. when he got hit he just stood there and tried trading with him amir is a totally different fighter since then and has more experience.

for all his amatuer experience, he doesn't really fight the way you would think a top olympian boxer would. Look at Oscar,Whitaker,Mayweather,Leonard etc, those guys throw straight punches, are never off balance, and are always alert. Khan on the other hand throws a lot of looping punches, has a kind of herky jerky style, and he has trouble staying alert which is how he got caught with his hands down in the 10th round last night.

I agree. Amir made it hard for himself. He even threw straight right hands without throwing a jab first, :omfg:. What was even stranger was that he threw some when he saw Maidana winding up a huge right. I guess it paid off as he still came through, but what a big and unnecessary risk in such an important fight.

I still think Khan kills everyone in JWW. Maidana gave a much better fight then I expected. Im not upset at all though cause it was a great fight.

i think he still has a weak chin. if he had a chin he would have taken that big shot and kept fighting back but he was in survival mode. a example of a good chin is marquez in his last fight. he went down, got up and kept his composure and ended the round scoring with a great combination. im not saying i wasn't surpised i thought it was going to be lights out for khan. in my opinion if khan gets matched up with anyone with power and boxing skills he's going to be in a world of trouble. a good chin is not getting knocked the fukk out what you see from marquez and floyd is experience from being hurt, they know how to handle the situation and keep their opponent off of them properly via firing back, unlike what khan was amatuerishly doing by simply running and at times just standing there with a high guard and letting maidana tee off

He needs to improve on his defense. He had problems when Maidana had him on the ropes. He needs to work on defending against that uppercut because Maidana was connecting with that all night long. I was hoping to hear Larry Merchant ask Khan why he stopped hitting Maidana with body shots after he nearly stopped Maidana in the first round ..... I guess Larry had a very important engagement to attend as he only asked 1 question ..... Really weird!

That's a little simplistic, Mayweather was in slight survival mode when Mosley landed a v powerful shot on his chin. He showed a good chin by remaining on his feet and surviving a seriously hard shot which would have KO'd others, and still have you dizzy. If your saying others fought back more, than those shots like weren't quite as hard or well placed to the same degree. JMM isn't the greatest example of the point your trying to make either because he can become vulnerable when hurt and usually goes down. In terms of the Floyd and Khan survival mode, were talking about standing up to flush shots from probably the hardest hitters in they're division. Just remaining on feet, with it, having the witts to battle through the bad spell and fighting back 20 seconds or so later, is a better than average chin at least. IMO it's a particularly good chin. Mosley is the only one to have KO'd Margarito and Maidana is definitely a hard hitting beast.

Yeah, people can no longer say he has a glass chin. i think he still has a weak chin. if he had a chin he would have taken that big shot and kept fighting back but he was in survival mode. a example of a good chin is marquez in his last fight. he went down, got up and kept his composure and ended the round scoring with a great combination. im not saying i wasn't surpised i thought it was going to be lights out for khan. in my opinion if khan gets matched up with anyone with power and boxing skills he's going to be in a world of trouble.

What Khan did prove is that he's tougher and has a better chin than many thought. That in itself is very impressive. However what's worrying was his placement of more importance on that risking still getting knocked out and making it a closer fight than it needed to be. The most important thing above showing off or proving a point, is winning as best, clearly and cleverly as possible, he's shown he undervalues that which is a lack of ring intelligence and discipline. I'm also very concerned that his trainer whom is the best in the world told him not to throw many rights til the 2nd half of the fight, single jabs, stay out of trouble, was at times completely knowingly abandoned just to make a point about his chin. That's worrying because it shows he isn't taking instructions from his more ring intelligent trainer as he makes out, and isn't doing so during the fight either. I couldn't here much of Freddies comments but inside/outside he must have been screwing his tactic orders per training were simply being ignored by Khan for large periods of time.

lol at the title, its fought aint it! i dont think he did, when your in there with an opponent that has 27 KOs in 30 fights, your gonna get hit. i thought khan boxed very very well for the most part. for sure there are things he can improve on like his defence but at the end of the day, what did you expect? hes not the finished article yet, but he is well on the way. he could quite easily have been another KO victim in there, but hes come out with a decent win, tested his chin a bit and scored a brilliant knock down aswell. I tend to make that mistake a lot.

We were watching Amir Khan not Mayweather Of course, of course, not saying he is....but Khan still had the skill set to dominate Maidana.

lmao...that was really clever. Well people seem to think Khan should have done this and that, Fact is Khan might be flashy in the way he throws but he doesn't have a high boxing IQ, He doesn't have the ring generalship that people want him to have, Khan isn't going to be a Mayweather or close.

Yeah have to agree, I thought he was going to be jabbing all night long but I believe he wanted to prove a point in this fight that he can take a punch, which he did prove.
