Maidana showed more heart!!! He got up after a blow to the liver which is unusual, and battered Khan. Khan hugged and ran most of the rest of the fight, he was a coward. A draw would have been fair. Rematch !!!
I'll be the first to say.. I don't like Khan... I can't stand his arrogant ass.. But, I am objective, and I give credit where it's due. He did what he had to do to win the fight! you might say that the cortez had a lot to do with it, and maybe he did, but Amir did show heart, and that his chin isn't as bad as everyone thought it was. It's a great win for him regardless and I'm sure there's more to come from him.
but f*ck that #%$&^%@(^#( LOL :boxing:
If Madonna had better stamina he would've KO'd Khan. Props to Khan for surviving tho. He fought a good fight offensively, but his defense needs a lot of work. Run and cover just like Manny. Difference is, Manny has a chin....
Both Khan and Maidana deserve props for the fight they put on. That was some brutal a$$ sh*t right there! Roach states that Khan has balls and he is right, however Roach looked mighty worried when Maidana treated Khan like a rag doll in that tenth round. The fact that Roach said he almost considered stopping it says one thing! He cares about his fighters. I imagine if the fight was nip and tuck and then that happened, Roach would have stopped it. The fact that Khan took a huge early lead was I think part of the he reasoning for letting it go. I think the other part was to see how much heart and will Khan had. Say what you want but Khan has heart. I am not a fan of his braggart attitude but one thing is for sure, I will watch his fights...
um roach it showed how weak his power is and his stamina and how he ran for half that fight he was going to get ktfo your lucky cortez helped you out
is that why maidana kissed the canvas in the first?

i think what roach said is that Khan has some balls mainly bcoz he's feather-fisted, glass chin and still came out winning a close fight (almost broke his neck in the process), probably sold his soul to devil just to be able to survive RD 10. And of course, the devil came in the form of... taadaa, Ref Cortez.
floyd is featherfisted.....He was not able to knock-out a natural superfeatherweight fighter....I think Khan will destroy Floyd who is not a hard puncher like Maidana...
If you thin Khan will destroy Mayweather on the basis that Khan survived a scare in the Maidana fight then you should rethink your statement. Mayweather may not have a big punch but he's got speed and is far more skilled than Maidana. If anything, this fight should tell you that Khan ain't ready for Floyd.
Cortez was horrible...but Amir speed won the fight for him. It was the first time i see an Amir Khan fight and he's a good fighter.
But he's not ready for the likes of Mayweather.
maidana won bigtime and was robbed end of story. khan aint ****, hes just pacs sparring partner, winning half the fight then losing the entire second half and pretty much being knocked out on your feet, while running just to survive isnt"balls" or "great" or more importantly mean u "won", khan got a gift decesion because hes a hype job nothing more.not impressed, maidana is the man not a -mere-con!
Maidana ain't won $hit! Khan clearly won that fight, he won most of the rounds plus had two 10-8 rounds from the knock down and the point deduction.
I'm no Khan fan but he clearly won the fight. I know Khan's got a big mouth and some boxing fans want him to get KTFO or at least lose but let's give him credit when he does well.

Khan put Maidana down in the first with a body shot, landed some incredibly fast combo's, won round after round, and survived the kind of beating none of us thought he was capable of without ever going down. Yep, he aint shiiit.:biggthump
Ill be very surprised if roach dare to say khan can beat floyd again, im sure he will match him against featherfisted oposition from now on, after all he was the one who advised khan to avoid maidana until the mandatory couldnt be delayed anymore....

There was only one guy who went down in that fight and it wasnt khan. Talking about how weak his power was especially when Maidana almost got knocked the **** out in the first round and got saved by the bell. Yes Khan got a weak ass chin but he still didnt got drop, and yes he run, which is smart because i think khan knows he has a ****ty chin. Why would he would sit and trade with one of the best puncher p4p. We would all be calling khan a dumbass if he did that.
Yes the ref was terrible since we all know cortez cant ref for ****.
thats right... it was maidana who got lucky in the 1st round.. and imagine the reaction of these turds if the fight ended that way... man, you've seen maidana's face during the knockdown?... i thought he's gonna puke...
I know Maidana didn't get the decision but I felt like Marcos tried to kill Khan in the ring while Khan was happy to just survive. If anything getting up from that vicious body shot showed the most guts in the fight to me.
this kid right now is become a good fighter, after watching the fight i think his progress is fast, give the kid some credit.. wish to see him fighting brad-devon winner..
He did show balls and heart, but not as much as Maidana who did not retreat at any momment in the ring, so respect to khan but more to maidana who could have won that fight as well.
