Comments Thread For: Amir Khan Badly Hurt, Holds On To Beat Maidana

Conjob will duck a rematch unless Joe Cortez refs it again.

Massive. Massive. Massive respect to Khan.

Great fight and I'm glad he won. What a show of heart to come through that torture in the late end of the fight.

Khan hurt Maidana early on with body shots. Khan should have but didn't continue going to the body.

That was strange especially since it worked!

Badly hurt?

he didnt go face first into the canvas like a dead fish and lay prone there for about 6 seconds before getting up wobbly and barely surviving the first round like someone else

But did Katsidis go face first into the canvas when his fight with JMM got stopped? By a BETTER referee, mind you.

Khan won by a few clear rounds. Chin critics silenced.

[laredo82]

no offense bro but you are a dumb ass if you could not see the ref helped Kahn

[Weebler I]

Agreed. I have always know Cortez was a bad ref, but tonight it became clear that he is not just bad, but he is corrupt, and is getting paid off by someone somewhere to do the things he does.

The only thing he didn't do to protect Khan was deduct points for hitting him in the face.

He's way too obvious, it's time someone in boxing spoke up about it. He's reffing under instruction from above.

This was a career defining fight for Khan. He fought the most dangerous guy he could of faced, took his best shots, and did enough to hold onto his title. He could have made the fight a lot easier if he stuck to his own game and didn't get drawn into exchanges, but he showed his heart and chin by fighting Maidana at his own game for large parts of the fight. He will only improve from here.

I don't care if you cu*ts don't give him credit. Khan won fair and square and if he fought his fight rather than being drawn into exchanges he would have won much easier. Khan proved to the world that he is legit and a future p4p contender

War Khan, **** the haters!!!!

Khan is a very vulnerable person when he gets caught. If Maidana had a little more gas and leverage in those punches in the 11th i'm pretty sure Khan was out of there..

Marquez would stop Khan at this point guys. I cant believe Khan wanted to fight Marquez to, he would have been defeated tonight.

Impressed by some things of Khan but he worries me in every round he fights, man I thought it was Prescott all over again apart from Khan surviving the on slaught.

yep Cortez was protecting the money again, take nothing away from Amir but that was very unfair on Maidana.



He was hurt all right, more than once, but showed huge heart. Big respect to the guy.

Yes. Not saying Maidana would have pulled it out, but I mean c'mon. He has the guy hurt, is wailing away landing punches, and you pull him off to break up a "clinch".

Give me a break.
