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

Just because you do more damage doesn't mean you win. Yeah khans face was bruised up, but he also bloodied maidanas right eye and cut his eyebrow.

All maidana had was round 10, and a few decent shots. The rest was all khan landing combos. How can you even argue about the win, maidana hit the canvas twice khan 0 times.

Khan > maidana

[Plaster...Sad.]

Amir and Cortez AND Oscar who's Cortez' padrote. Pinches Malinches selling out a fellow Latino.

Agreed, Cortez was $u$pect tonight.

Helluva fight! I thought Khan pulled with superior boxing early, but Miadana made it very exciting. I was impressed with Khan's speed boxing skills early in the fight(WOW, what a body shot). I know he took some big shots and didn't go down, but he was hurt bad and that is still his biggest weakness. He doesn't make if out the round if he takes those shots earlier when Miadana is fresher, Khan will eventually be ko'd again. I hope there is a rematch, but I doubt Roach allows it.

Agreed, Cortez was $u$pect tonight.

he was

he should have deducted alot more points from maidana

the dirty mofo

Well, he can't be worse than Lawrence Cole in the Pacquiao - Margarito fight. Anyway how could Joe Cortez stopped the fight if Khan still have the strength to clinch?

khan showed he had heart but more maidana he kept coming forward at will.. his corner said hit him hard ! and while fatigued he did so.. roach said khan has to avoid the right hand all night not just for half the fight and khan got careless and boom !...much respect to him though as he withstood allnight the power of maidana and respect goes to maidana as well foty !

I thought Maidana got fucking robbed big time. Outside of that body shot that knocked him down, he was always taking it to Khan and Amir was running for his life. I mean, I give Khan credit for silencing critics about him ducking big punchers and all that. But somebody try to tell me that he didn't stink the joint out in the last several rounds by constantly running and pot shotting and trying to survive. Every punch Maidana threw it seemed like it bobbled Khan's head around and the only times Maidana seemed hurt was when Khan caught him totally flat footed.

Khan needs to rematch the dude or he gets nothing from me.

[v.cassiusali@ya]

i believed khan won that one but it is obvious joe cortez is favoring khan...

khan should forget his dream of fighting the pacman if that's all he got...

[JM1]

so amir is not getting credit around here? people was criticizing his chin before the fight and now he boxed the hell out of maidana and was able to take his punches and still no props for the guy?

[JM1]

khan definitely won the fight btw
