Comments Thread For: Khan vs. Maidana Deal Announced By The WBA

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The WBA have announced on their website that Amir Khan, their regular light-welterweight champion, is to face Marcos Maidana, their interim champion (or one of them), after the fighters reached an agreement. The contest was due to go to purse bids but now looks set to take place in March or April. [Click Here To Read More]

Khan can outbox Maidana but Maidana is a big puncher and finds ways to get his punches in there, one punch from Maidana would probably end the fight for him unless Khan's punch resistance has improved dramatically with the move up in weight. It's a good clash of styles, should make for a good fight.

This journalist should watch Marco Maidana fight a few times before he talks about "crude swings." Maidana definitely isnt a technical fighter, but he has a very educated right hand that he manages to land on just about everybody, whether or not they're covering up or running. This fight is DANGEROUS for Khan right now.

good news , definitely the most dangerous opponent khan has faced

Would have been nice if the article was written a little more professionally and was a little less opinionated.

Khan should try to TKO him. He will really need to discourage and hurt him throughout the stretch of the match otherwise he will keep coming at him.

When a fighter is notorious for having a bad chin it gives the opposition more confidence than usual.

It could be a good win for Khan.

good stuff, should be a good matchup.
Glad to hear Khan is doing the right thing.

If its on the jones Hopkins card then thats one hell of a night for boxing, hope the big fights dont clash timewise.

Easy win for Khan, i would have preferred a Malignaggi fight that would have been a great 12 rounder.
