It's annoying to see Khan in the headlines for all the wrong things. Normalyl I would say he is the A side in the Brook fight but honestly he should pay the premium, fight him next, and if he wins Swift/ Thurman as a second fight, third fight vs Pac/Cotto level guy, and then call it quits. Retire for good
It's never good for any fighters to have year long lay offs this late in their career and especially with their focus so out of the fight game
i agree, canelo does it really well from all the guys I see. It's almost impossible to find someone who will train you with that skill level. Robert Garcia's guys good at it too
I agree a lot with OP but he could have made a stronger case had he waited it out. I think Khan would be ready to go by round 10 either way. He was def getting outboxed
The British fighters all have crumpets and tea before a fight.
no joke i think caffeine wouldn't be a bad idea, you peak on it for about an hour, it suppresses fatigue as far as wakefulness but I'm not sure about as far as aeroboic
Great ref man. You can tell that dude thinks about his job and the scenerios in the ring by his response time. Stopped Soto's head from hitting the canvas
Maidana scored first

7:9-10
8:9-8
9:10-9
10:10-8
11:9-9 (close round, maidana gcaught up landed a lot more clearly on the body)
12:9-9 Broner busier earlier but missing or having Maidana block most of the shots, Maidana landed the more effective shots
Total:113-109
Disgusting display of sportsmanship by Broner.
I might have messed up the latter part of the scorecard but hopefully made the right fix.
Hard fight for anyone at 147 let alone someone with a shoddy chin, Porter is EXPLOSIVE, need a solid chin, good workrate and movement to deal with him.
Honestly I was pretty ambiguous at first with Maidana and Khan but I want Khan even harder right now. Pac's last fight with Rios for me foreshadow May diong the same to Maidana. His last two fights have been boring as ****t. Dude needs to get someone exciting in there. I would honestly see him fight Paulie than either of these two guys.
Dont know why the network problem slipped. This is a new gay ass problem for boxing ever since Khan then May then Danny switched to Sho. Sho is a new pain in boxing. Let's see how these different networks gay this ****t, or actually come together to give fans what they want. Any collaboration between the two networks yet on any fights? Allowing a fighter off contract for a fight?
I've said this a million times. Roach trains guys that are champions...these guys have the skill, the desire before they come to him. He is overrated. He isn't like Hunter Richardson Diaz who has taken guys from nadda or humiliating losses and built them back up.
Marvin Hagler #1 ....flew to England to beat Minter with his racist fansa there...pelted by beer bottles...fought Mugabe Hamso Lenoard on their own turf. Imagine someone like Floyd flying to the uK against Khan or the Filipines like Manny to take their title, in their home country from them.
They dont make them like Marvelous anymore
Truth be told this piggy backing off of other peoples names (ie Pacio) is a typical TMT marketing tactic. It's Maidana. No one should doubt this by now
True dat wouldn't mind seeing Lara on the undercard.
Danny vs Broner would help it sell too if it happens.
Floyd should open the polls for an undercard too
1.2 billion majority of whom would be boxing fans could never be a bad thing. Muhammad Ali become 2 billion peoples favorite name, and the world's, when he converted to their religion. 1.3 bill people in India along. There's gotta be some talent in that
