Comments Thread For: Khan: I Wanted Maidana So Bad, I Agreed To Las Vegas

[Shattered Jaw]

Amir Khan: "I wanted this fight so bad I made the concession that the fight has to take place in the premier and most famous fight location in the world"

Anyway, this is a great fight - one of the best that can be made in boxing at the moment.

Ancient history, how you think that chin handles Pacquiao?

20 oz gloves and headgear kinda help!!

Khan is going to need one of these:

I respect Khan for wanting to stay true to his fanbase and fight in the UK, but i don't think anyone should complain about fighting in Vegas. It's the big name boxing capital of world and a big win, for Khan or Maidana will put them on the top of the division.

The problem is that neither Maidana nor Khan are big Vegas draws. This fight's going to be at Mandalay Bay and I'd be surprised if it gets 5000 attendees. Golden Boy should have fund some way to make this fight in England, where Khan is a popular champion and Maidana is the kind of tough rugged opponent that British fans love. It'd be a big popularity boost for both of them.

Sorry guys, but Maidana can't win a decision against Khan. I'd give him credit if the scorecards were even close, but that's just me.

I figure, Khan fights smart enough he wins an easy UD. But at the same time, any non-Khan-fan would have themselves a very boring time.
