Kotelnik beat Maidana.

So can Khan.

That was a very close fight that could have gone either way meaning Kotelnik had to eat some of those dynamite's.

Khan's boxing skills are far superior. I think Roach comes up with a good enough plan to protect Khan's chin and to out box him

[blank_frackis]

The thing about Maidana is that he has so much power that if he caught just about anyone at LWW with a great shot he'd put them down, so it's not like that's a distinct advantage against Khan. The way to beat Maidana isn't to walk through his punches, but to outbox him and Khan is a bad matchup for Maidana from that perspective because of Khan's speed and technical ability. Still a hard one to call, but I don't think the matchup suits either of them particularly.

[BigStereotype]

Maidana needs one shot. He's a big ****ing puncher and Khan's chin is ****. I think Khan could put Maidana down once or twice, but he won't knock him out. And El Chino lands the first big punch, I don't know if Khan will be able to stand. Breidis Prescott's power does not compare to Maidana's.

[SoldierWarrior]

He has got a six week training camp to develop a mike tyson neck. Anything else and the probability of him getting sparked increase greatly.

should be aiming for this:

Not enough, the neck muscles will help him sustain some of the punch resistance. But I do believe it wouldn't dramatically change any punch resistance.

[Ryn0]

He needs to keep the fight in the centre of the ring and Maidana at the end of his jab the ENTIRE fight.

If he gets in close he needs to clinch, he can't take even one solid shot from Maidana IMO. He needs to pump the jab and close up as soon as something comes over or under his jab and move away.

Kotelnik beat Maidana.

So can Khan.

Kotelnik's a defensive fighter.

You saw what he was like against Khan, hands up.

[Ryn0]

Kotelnik beat Maidana.

So can Khan.

Kotelnik ate ALOT of leather, and was hurt several times.

I thought Maidana won but it was fairly close.

elaborate?

Also, Maidana's chin isn't granite. But it's not as bad as some people think, he's got heart so if Khan puts him down he'll get back up again.
