Just watched the fight again and
Here is my opinion of the fight:
It was a good performance by khan...but not by any means a great one, he did well to avoid getting dropped or even stopped and did well to stop maidana in the opening round....BUT lets not get carried away...maidana has absolutely NO boxing skills and still was able to compete with khan in terms of pure boxing...and then amir blabbers on about how he "believes" he can beat mayweather! ROFLMAO!!...talk about believing in your own hype, Khan proved his defence has improved bigtime so fairplay to him in that regard and
As always Khans handspeed was exhilleratingly, breathtakingly, fantasticlly awesome which in the end proved to be the main reason of victory for khan (as expected)
and btw I AM A FAN OF AMIR let me just get that in the open but jheeze people need to stop getting carried away IMO...it was maidana he beat not manny pacquiao!
He's silenced absolutely nobody and this fight has left more questions then answers.
Ofcouse he silenced people who think Khan couldn't even take a punch. He took around 15-20 full blown shots from maidana who has 27 KO's from 29 fights and SURVIVED. How can you not say he hasn't silenced anybody lol.... You need fights like these anyway to improve, and trust me Khan and freddy will be working on what he did wrong. THis fight will make him a better fighter in the future.
It was a poor performance in the way he didnt stick to the gameplan,but it was a good performance in the way he proved he has heart and can take a shot now-khan shut the haters up on saturday night
khan has guts. on the other hand, he absolutely needs to correct those amateurish actions in the ring (like turning his back, etc). give him a year or so and perhaps he will become a full-pledged elite fighter. right now, he is kind a semi to me:boxing:
Inexperience. Just like he didn't hold on when he was hurt or kept on letting Maidana uppercut him against the ropes.
Dude, he`s been a pro for what 6 years now!
and before anyone starts...No, i am not trying to degrade khans so-called acheivement, but tacticlly team khan got things horrbily wrong but survived due to the fact that maidana isn`t really world class..a world class puncher? maybe....but as much of a world class fighter as floyd mayweather is humble!
i used to think maidana had no boxing skills. but he does. ive watched the replay 4 times and he has far more skill then i ever gave him credit for. so i no longer subscribe to the notion he has no skills and is just a plodder...
khan vs mayweather or pacman? i'll bet against khan all day long!
I think we all would... Khan simply has about 10% chance against either of them at the moment.
