    Comments Thread For: Insider Notebook: Khan-Maidana, Donaire, Soto-Rios, More

    By Robert Morales - Fans and experts alike may be surprised at what transpires Saturday when Amir Khan tries to successfully defend his super lightweight title against Marcos Maidana at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. It could be a war, as some are suggesting. But Khan and his trainer, Freddie Roach, intimated last week at Roach's Wild Card Gym in Hollywood that may not be the case.

    Going toe-to-toe against a very hard puncher like Maidana basically does not fit into their game plan, so they said.

    "Against Maidana, I think you have to be smart," Khan said. "You have to pick the right shots, hit and move, hit the angles. You know, a lot of people think I'm going to be running for the 12 rounds, but that's not my style. I'll be hitting him, and hitting angles. Like Manny Pacquiao did against (Antonio) Margarito. It's going to be the same outcome. Hit and move, hit angles, use the skills and just don't get involved. That's not my fight. [Click Here To Read More]

    Any news on Mares-Darchynian? Odd that everybody is forgetting that fight somehow. That's the fight I'm looking forward to the most besides the Ortiz fight.

            Are you kidding me? Donaire weighs 118 lbs. (possibly will move up to 122lbs and maybe 126 lbs) but Khan weighs 140 lbs. That fight would be a massacre...

            It is nice though that Donaire is finally getting a high profile fight on HBO against Montiel. His career seemed to stall after he iced Vic Darch and this will be a good fight. And if he wins, he can look forward to possibly fighting the winner of the bantamweight tournament...

                Maidana will have the opportunity to really test the CHIN of Khan, if Khan survive and wins the fight then we expect another big fight between Khan and the winner of Alexander vs Bradley fight for the unified Jr Welterweight Title!

                I would like Soto fighting Marquez for the unified Lightweight Title!;

                And Donaire fighting Montiel for the right to be the REAL Bantamweight Champ!
