... as long as he sticks with Roach's gameplan. And we all know Roach is the master at taking away that left hook. Roach's job is actually easier for this probable matchup, since Khan has a terrific jab, whereas PAC doesn't really have a jab, so Roach had to be more creative.
I see Khan tatooing Maidana all night long...

I mentioned this in a prior thread, if Khan could work behind his double jab and followup in time to get out of harms way from Maidana's looping shots (and pressure) he can coast to a UD.
On the flip side, if Maidana turns this into a phone booth fight taking Amir's range away from him he can land his inside shots to set up his own overhand right which would spell danger for Khan.Comment

i think the prolem with a lot of you guys is u underestimate maidana and overestimate khan.
what i mean is this, khan wasnt exactly hard to hit. his body was open all last nite. i kno he's improving but his defesive style leaves the body open. if he doesnt change that its a prolem.
maidana, on the other hand, is not as fast, as technically sound. but he is a bruiser. he hits everywhere and he hits often. if he bullies khan, i dnt think he will respond well. the kid was bullied by prescott. sure he might be better, but if maidana gets some good body shots in on him and gets him on the ropes, we'll see how good khan's chin is. u cant determine anything from the fight against paulie, paulie has n o power and he fights the same way khan does. maidana, wont fight that way. he takes punishment to dish punishment out, go watch the ortiz fight. and ortiz hits a lot harder than khan.Comment

you guys are missing a key point made by the great F. Roach. Khan will OUTBOX him. No need to get into a punching war. Khan win. Defo.Comment
