Maidana is 4 to 1 to KO Khan. Is it worth a bet?

I think Khan is probably going to outbox Maidana, possibly even KO him in the mid-late rounds. But 4-1 is not a bad deal considering Maidana packs a hell of a punch and Khan's chin is highly suspect. He hasn't faced this kind of power before, and if he gets caught it could be lights out. Anyone else think it's worth taking a shot?

PS- Khan has a similiar style to Kotelnik, and Maidana was able to find Kotelnik's chin a few times in their fight. Not saying Khan isn't bette than Kotelnik, but if Maidana can find his chin like he did Andres', he has a good shot to KO Khan. Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

I have $100 riding on that, plus a bunch of smaller wagers on rounds, handicaps, etc.

But I am straddling that with Khan KO for another $100 at even odds. So even if Khan TKO's Maidana I don't lose anything.

No outcome is going to make me rich, even if I get the knock out round correct, but its something fun I like to do. Certainly never bet if you can't afford to lose the money.

It's a good bet. Has Amir ever beaten a puncher? I don't think so. But Roach is a great coach, so who knows.

Save your money. Khan will wipe this Argentine journeyman out within 4 rounds. This fight is a huge mismatch and not competitive at all. Khan's people have no interest in risking a loss yet against anyone who could seriously hurt him.

I got 5.5-1 on the Maidana KO right here as the casino so I wouldn't take 4-1 just because you should be getting a better price.

Then again, there are a bunch of Brits here betting on Khan just cause he's British so maybe that's why the odds are better.

Are you British?

4-1 are ridiculous odds for a Maidana KO. They should be much, much closer than that.

Save your money, Khan is too fast and too pretty. The only reason Ortiz lost to Maidana is cuz he was ****in face to face, Khan aint gonna do that he is gonna run and stay on the outside using his reach

lol some ppl should research boxing...Khan is no idiot, plus he has Roach

It's 5.5-1 here at Mandalay Bay.

Bunch of Khan fans and very few Maidana fans are skewing the odds.

When Maidana knocks out this fraud I am gonna be rich.

Maidana is 4 to 1 to KO Khan. Is it worth a bet?
