Who here is picking Khan over Maidana?

[NChristo]

Yup I am, Maidana's got a punchers chance but that's it.

More probable that Khan will win a wide UD then Maidana will land the big hand, imo anyway.

I go back and forth on this, it's too close to call

Maidana by KTFO

or

Khan by a textbook UD

[jrosales13]

The only way he loses is if he gets Prescotted again. Highly unlikely that that happens, though.

I agree, Maidana has a puncher chance and that is it.

But, Khan with Roach I think will be much more discipline, focused, and smarter in this fight than he was with Prescott. Plus I think him not draining himself to make 135 would help his punch resistance a little bit better. Still a bad chin though.

Khan should win this fight. Maidana is just not that good IMO. I mean a beyond shot to pieces Corley was giving him trouble.

Maidana will crack that glass easily and the *****Jro will shit his pants.

I hate how people act like Maidana is some amateur boxer with no skills at all, there is a certain science to his fighting style.....some fans just see everything to the extreme, either you're a pure boxer or a one dimensional brawler


smh

I expect Khan to win easy.

Exactly bro. Its a lot harder to go in and destroy someone than it is to stay away and "box" for 12 rounds.

Most people here never been in the ring to even know that though.

Its tougher to box a guy with a 90% KO average than to dish out those god given bombs.

Thats my opinion.

One guy doesn't take any risks because he's on defense the whole time, the other guy has to maneuver and negotiate angles through the line of fire to land his shots.

If you've got decent legs and a big ring, its easy to play it safe.

You can't win a UD purely on the back foot. You still gotta land your own punches too.

Examples:

Ray/Hagler
Bowe/Evander
Benn/Eubank
