i had it 115-112 for maidana ... , marcos was hands down winning the round in which cortez took a point away from him ... i had round 10 a 10-8 for maidana due to the supreme dominance in that round khan didnt throw more than a punch in that.. .. i just dont see how you can win a fight by running away for the whole second half of the fight .. i know its done and over with but i scored it 115-112 for maidana ... i think it was unfair on him and no way in HELL can you win a fight by running , khan was on queer street countless times , by the end of the fight he looked as if he had been confronted by freddie and jason in a dark alley ... big time robbery .. **** gbp ..
Haha, no need for everyone to be mean! This guy cnt score, but so what? i'm sure there's another sport he can follow. 'Robbery?' hahaha, got to give it to him that was a good one.
Khan won that fight pretty fairly. Maidana was making a small comeback but it still wasn't enough to overcome to huge defecit khan left him at.
I scored the 10th round a 10-8 too, but khan weathered the storm and proved he was a different fighter than the one prescott beat by hanging in there. He even hurt Maidana a couple times in the 11th and 12th.
Good fight, but khan won it decisively.
I agree Khan won most of that fight with solid boxing skill. He kept Maidana from being able to sit on his punches with his constant movement.
I think Khan got lazy later on in the fight and let Maidana get in on him and took some great shots, but he saw those shots coming a mile away and he still got rocked by them. Khan still hasn't proven to me that he can handle getting caught by a surperior boxer who can get in on him effectively. Maidana didn't have the boxing IQ to do that.
Maidana didn't win but without the point deduction and Knockdown the fight was a draw on my card, which is amazing because if Khan was going to win a lot people thought it would be by a very wide UD. Maidana did a a lot better than many people thought he would.
Great fight which one day needs a rematch.
