Why was Maidana able to get up from this liver shot?

Maidana must not be as heavy a drinker as Oscar De La Hoya.

He was extremely damaged no question about that. It was a "smile for me now, brother" shank to the midsection. Cost him dearly in that match. He basically never recovered from that. what are you saying, dude? he was over it by the 2nd round. Nah, he wasn't over it until about the 5th or 6th round. He was just arm punching, and really not doing much until the mid way point of the fight. Check it out again. He took a long time to recover, and did nothing for about four or five rounds after it.

He trains his liver, simple as that.

i wanna see Maidana vs Garcia or Maidana vs Herrera those would be bad ass fights !! Maidana vs Provovnicovk or even Bradley vs Maidana

Recovered quickly. Some dudes can't move for minutes just the kind of thing that's different per punch. His pain was great but he at least didnt seem paralyzed and since he's got heart he pushed through it. Of course lesser men might have not beat the count, but we have to also realize others just physically CANT beat the count.

i'm incredulous at your position here - at your not knowing how maidana fights - he's not fast, never was, he's a plodding murderer with determination for days .... aaas evidenced in his fight with khan. to boot, the cat can take a monster shot and brush it off, like he did, in this exact fight. a hail mary? really, so it was a lucky shot? really?? christ. because maidana doesn't have abnormally long arms and weird angles? c'mon dude, watch some maidana fights. trend how this guy fights and see that he's in the mold of a margarito-type fighter. running around the ring with your left hand down, because you're TIRED and getting caught with an overhand right is far from a hail mary, it's smart. it's what you're supposed to do and unable to finish khan in the 10th? if khan's demonstrated one thing over his career is that when he's not KO'd ala prescott, he can take an awesome beating kinda like cotto / m ward and wayne mccoullough. he only felt that body shot when he went down and after the fight, the momentum of the fight and khans penchant to be something less than smart always had maidana in the fight. as someone who has been hit to the body countless times, i can assure you of this; the important thing being that khan never touched him to the body again. Yes, I can see that. I'll agree to disagree then, my friend.

Heart, determination...those body shots can incapacitate you for more than a 10 count, I thought it was over. At the same time, how can survived was something too.

khans body shots are underrated he just doesnt throw them as much as he should

Maidana is the definition of a warrior. He fights till he literally has nothing else to give. Maidana is willing to die inside a ring and on May 3rd there is only one question left to be answered... is Floyd willing to do the same? It's relentlessness versus finesse. Lion versis dolphin. Brute force against intelligence. May 3rd, we find out. Dude..."lion vs. Dolphin"?! Lol

You have the laughing smilie and everything lmao.. Let me get this straight, baya.. Maidana is clearly wounded and moving slow all the way up until just after the first minute of the tenth round - he rises from his stool like a 90 year old man at the beginning of the tenth - and he catches Khan with a Hail Mary punch after looking terrible for the first minute and is unable to finish a clearly-ready-to-go-Amir Khan for another two and half rounds?? :lol1: Yeah. That body shot had no effect at all. :rolleyes: i'm incredulous at your position here - at your not knowing how maidana fights - he's not fast, never was, he's a plodding murderer with determination for days .... aaas evidenced in his fight with khan. to boot, the cat can take a monster shot and brush it off, like he did, in this exact fight. a hail mary? really, so it was a lucky shot? really?? christ. because maidana doesn't have abnormally long arms and weird angles? c'mon dude, watch some maidana fights. trend how this guy fights and see that he's in the mold of a margarito-type fighter. running around the ring with your left hand down, because you're TIRED and getting caught with an overhand right is far from a hail mary, it's smart. it's what you're supposed to do and unable to finish khan in the 10th? if khan's demonstrated one thing over his career is that when he's not KO'd ala prescott, he can take an awesome beating kinda like cotto / m ward and wayne mccoullough. he only felt that body shot when he went down and after the fight, the momentum of the fight and khans penchant to be something less than smart always had maidana in the fight. as someone who has been hit to the body countless times, i can assure you of this; the important thing being that khan never touched him to the body again.

um yeah he really messed him up... http://imageshack.us/a/img714/2720/5321b.jpg So you're saying Khan didn't land easily on Maidana throughout? Wow the revisionist history on this fight is quite staggering.

is it purely down to heart as to why he could get up but others havent? Same reason Gatti did when Ward put him down, he's a tough mother****er!

Maidana is weak to the body. Absolute nonsense. Everybody is weak to the body if you get hit in the right spot EVERYBODY!. The thing is it is difficult to land that perfect body shot. But that one khan hit chino with was perfect and for maidana to get up from that really shows you how tough that MOTHER****ER is.

As someone who has taken a liver shot in sparring I am in awe of how maidana got up from that. From his initial reaction I never would have thought he got up from that within 10 seconds if I didn't see the ten count.

I don't need Compubox to see that Khan was landing AT WILL on Maidana. It was almost embarrassingly easy to land on him. Whilst bouncing combinations off Maidana's head um yeah he really messed him up... http://imageshack.us/a/img714/2720/5321b.jpg

I don't need Compubox to see that Khan was landing AT WILL on Maidana. It was almost embarrassingly easy to land on him. It's easy to make blanket statements even when clearly false.

Maidana refused to be KOd' by Khan.

I said 2nd rd, and Compubox was laughable in that fight. They had Khan landing something like 26 punches in rd 6. Go watch rd 6, and write down the times of 26 punches landed that land. I dare you to somehow find them. I don't need Compubox to see that Khan was landing AT WILL on Maidana. It was almost embarrassingly easy to land on him.

I was watching Khan skate around like Nancy ****in Kerrigan in the last half of the fight. Whilst bouncing combinations off Maidana's head

Yeah but Khan is a retard and started flurrying at his head straight after. :lol1: Never really went back to the body again for the whole fight :pat: I think you are right,he never fully seemed himself after that shot. It is the single best punch I have ever seen Khan throw. I baffles me why Khan did not relentlesly target the same area and hit him with more liver shots. Yep, baffled me completely why Khan barely threw another shot to the body for the rest of the fight. He's an idiot, but I'd expect Freddie Roach to have got at Khan more for not doing so. Still, Khan's best performance to date. How he stayed on his feet in round 10 is unbelievable, aside of Cortez' nonsense he still take massive shot after and still keeps his legs. Amazing heart has Khan.
