Comments Thread For: Maidana Not Concerned With Khan's Talks, Stays Focused

[Dave Rado]

Lol.. Maidana will gas after 8 rounds. Sure he's probably training harder than he ever has, definitely more so that the Chop-chop fight, but Khan will tire him out. Khan's movement, jab and quick-fire combos will land flush on Maidana, who is a terrible boxer with no real defense (Ortiz fight).

Maidana's only hope is to pressure Khan and constantly be on the front foot - but he's then vulnerable to Khan's jab. He needs to swing big and hope he lands that right hand. Maidana will gas and will be way behind on the cards before he falls victim to a Khan combo that puts him on the floor in the 10th, he'll get up but the Referee will put an end to things. 10th Round TKO for Khan.

Lots of good pressure fighters have had defences worse than Maidana's. He is willing to take three punches in order to land one, and one lapse of concentration on Khan's part will put him in serious trouble. Maidana's stamina has never been a problem except in the Corley fight, when he clearly wasn't fit. Khan's stamina is much more suspect than Maidana's - Khan was fully fit against Kotelnik but gassed in the late rounds. If anyone gets a KO in the late rounds, it's far more likely to be Maidana that Khan. Khan's best hope is a decision win.

i got a feeling khan thinks hes an elite fighter n thinks he will beat madaina easy untill he gets hit in his trash tlken mouth that hasnt proven nothing and is chinny madaina by brutal ko n it wont be an upset madaina has fought better opp and already beat 1 of the top 140 pounders

Khan knows it won't be easy - that's why he was so reluctant to take the fight, and had to be practically forced to take it. He talks a lot of crap but he's not as ****** as he sounds, and Roach knows how tough the fight will be and won't let Khan forget it.

dont be surprised if Khan wins this easy./ Kotelnik barely landed a punch on him, neither did paulie maliginaggi, both are better boxers than Maidana.

I think the ortiz fight might have weakened Maidana, he took a lot of shots. It wont be a complete cakewalk but khans jab is key and its probably the best in boxing right now

Maidana will expose Khans chin again

Somebody make sure an ambulance is standing ready on Dec. 11th at the Mandalay Bay because after Amir is done with Maidana, Maidana will go home with the bus.

Oh so Maidana is going to home home on the bus. So the Ambulance will be for Khan?

You just pwned your self wazoo

It will be a great fight, Khan by UD
