I just watched Maidana vs Corley. I don't know what was wrong with Maidana but he looked horrible. He was huffing and puffing (even by the end of round 1), like a 2 pack a day smoker, throughout the entire fight. He was slower than usual and extremely sluggish. He was either severely out of shape or something was wrong with him. And, he was bothered by body shots in the first round or so.
If Maidana comes in like he did against Corley, I can actually see Kahn stopping him in the first half of the fight. If Maidana lasts through the first half of the fight, there's a better chance that he could stop Kahn in the second half of the fight.
The thing about Maidana is he always keeps coming, and he throws almost all power shots (has almost no jab, and it's a powder puff). If he lands (and he will) it WILL slow Kahn down some. This is Maidanas only chance. Hopefully he will target the body of Kahn, but he's mostly a head hunter. If he doesn't raise his stamina though, he's done for against Kahn. He's going to be chasing Kahn around the ring for the first half of the fight, so if his stamina is **** then Kahn could very well KO him early.
Hopefully the Maidana that showed up against Ortiz shows up. After seeing how Maidana was against Corley, Kahn may not be expecting that. I hope like hell Maidana comes in tip-top shape because I really want to see him beat Kahn.
Side note: It's crazy how much Maidana looked so much like Baldomir (style wise) in the Corley fight.Comment
