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

[LAFIRPO]

I think Maidana should move up to 147. In Maidana's last two fights he's run out of gas pretty quickly. I think it's because he's having trouble making weight.

Maidana did look a little dry and weak in this fight. 147 might be a better weight division. He wouldn't have to drain himself too much.

khan won it on the scorecard

but when maidana had khan rocked, and khan wasn't throwing back a normal referee would have stopped it, cortez is a **** referee simple as

[Earl-Hickey]

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

Who cares, are you saying Khan should have been stopped?

Why, he was in front and he made it to the end with no lasting damage.

i feel bad, and at the same time i'm proud, thanks el chino, you're still my idol!

Maidana won that damn fight. He absolutely SLAYED Khan towards the end of that.

JMM vs Katsidis was stopped while Katsidis was still on his feet by a MUCH BETTER referee, and he wasn't taking nearly the amount of punishment as Khan took. Why didn't Cortez stop this fight? Oh yeah thats right, cause Amir Khan is the next "Golden Boy" and no one wanted to ruin his image right?!

Bull****. Maidana was the only one looking to fight. He proved hes the only one with the balls. Thank the boxing gods for fighters like Maidana...otherwise we'd have a bunch of track runners in the ring who dont wan't to fight each other.

Wow He won the last 3

That means he won the whole fight

What are you talking about? Hurt all right, or night? Either way a ****** comment. He was hurt in that one round a few times. Never hurt bad. He wasn't stumbling around the ring unconscious, or even got knocked down.

Khan was BADLY hurt, did you see the way he walked back to his corner? Any of those shots could have dropped Khan, except he held on after every shot Maidana threw in that round.

[PEBBLES!]

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

You look like a fool, still calling Amir a "con".

He just fought the biggest puncher in his division and didn't go down. He was on shaky legs and showed heart - Maidana had him hurt but didn't have what it took to finish him.


How exactly is Khan still a con after he defeated the biggest puncher in the division?


Cortez did a firm job.

Maidana is one of the dirtiest fighters in the game, rabbit punching, elbows etc

Some obviously blind haters in here, but they are always around. Best to ignore them.

Lol @ anyone thinking that fight should have been stopped when Khan got caught... Especially comparing it to JMM vs Katsidis, where Katsidis was getting tagged hard all night, and showed no signs of ever being able to protect himself.

Get real. Khan won everything from 1-6. The last 3/4 rounds, sure Marcos won but he was 3 rounds down on my scorecard. Khan took his best shots, flush, and stayed up. Was hurt but fought on, survived like a champion. All haters have been answered, his chin stood up to the beast of the 140 division and he didnt go down.

But now that the haters have been proven wrong, they're trying desperately to cover their tracks by accusing the referee of being paid off. Classic!

[LeadUppercut]

What the hell? Give Khan credit here! They were two warriors out there, hats off to both of them.. But Khan edged it and deserved the decision! Great fight, let's stop hating for no reason and finally give the guy some credit.. He won me over with that performance.. In fact both did. Respect.

Good post man.
