Comments Thread For: Maidana Expects Khan To Run: "All I Need is One Punch"

['Sugar' Freddi]

This fight is going to be so interesting and good. I still think Khan either gets a late TKO or clear UD win.

I think another thing Maidana needs to work on is getting out of clinches. Kahn had Malignaggi by the head A LOT during their fight, so much so that he actually pushed him to the ground by pushing down on his neck several times in the fight. I expect there will be a lot of holding done by Kahn (everytime Maidana gets close) and that's gonna frustrate Maidana. Every time he gets held and the ref has to break them, he's gonna have to reset each time and that's also gonna tire him out more. I hope he realises this and works out a good strategy (and doesn't just let Kahn tie him up).

This worries me..Maidana could turn out the lights with one punch,but looking for the one punch may lose him rds and Khan maybe tougher then just one shot..I hope he is just talking and will go to the body and head it's the only way he can beat khan..

Of course Maidana is going to go for the body he usually does anyway, he knows that his only chance is by KO but he can make many plans for that to happen.

You right about what Khan did to Paulie,but Maidana keeps punching in the clinch he won't let ya just grab him up..Even in the Corley fight he keep punching anytime he was in the clinch..I expect him to do the same against Khan..Also a lot is on who the Ref is and how he lets umm fight...

I dont like it when fighters go into a fight with the only idea they have is going for the ko. Fighters tend to get to confident if they think they can finish it with one punch and if they find out they cant win with one shot their confidence disapears and they go into a shell.

I hope maidana ko's khan brutally but I dont think he will able to get close to khan or get past khans lightning fast punches and combo's

[V.WEBB]

Khan is going to box this dude's ears off..and I can't wait either.

[v.cassiusali@ya]

khan was a reformed fighter after that prescott ko...

maidana is good but i still pick khan to win...

speed kills...

I hope so he'll need a good jab as well,people talk about Khan's jab but Maidana also has a really good jab I hopes he uses it..

I think there is a danger of any worldwide 140Ib-er getting KO'd by maidana, with one shot or otherwise. Khan is perhaps in far more danger than his other light-welter peers due to his chin issues but I'm gonna state the obvious and say Khan will run absolute rings around Maidana all night, firing rapid combo's and single shots home. Not that many people seem to mention that Khan is no powder-puff hitter himself and will no doubt test the chin of maidana , particularly with shots which Maidana won't see coming.
Any fool should be able to clearly see that if Maidana DOES land something of serious consequence, there'll definitely be a reaction in Khan's legs. Khan's title may be hanging like a thread if this occurs, so there's no clear cut winner in this one folks.
