    One thing fighters should NEVER have is conditioning problems, especially if they looked good before.

    Sounds like a lack of effort on his part

      that doesn't surprise me...when young fighters are climbing that ladder of stardom, sometimes its hard to maintain that focused intensity...especially against a super faded Corley and like you said, at home too

        But you shouldnt look SO bad against a "tune up" that your suppose to beat up

        Same thing applies to Devon
        maybe the tune up look good: perfect shape, focused, he knew it can be his last oppertunity to show hes not done and can hang up with the top guys to make more fights.promoters of the younger prostects who will choose him cuz hes faded, but is trouble for top guys to test their own boxers. he gets more fights even if he loses but put on a good performance.

        at the weight-in I recognized that hes in top shape and focused as hell... the way he spoke and the national football shirt of ARG was a note, too.

        Maidana was thinking about Khan the whole time. thought this will be easy, but no match is easy when your not prepared adn focused.

        also that was his first cut that he didnt handle well...maybe an excuse for his perfomances Idk


        still hope Maidana can beat Khan.
