Anyone else lose respect for Khan?

[TRAV1$]

Dude was running all night. What about those rounds that maidana told whats up lets fight. They were like middle rounds. Watch the fight again. What now ,khan is going to fight like that everytime he gets a boxer with pop?

Because Khan was boxing his head off
Maidana is a slugger, he wanted a scrap and was getting frustrated
The safer bet from Khan would've been to box at distance all fight, something resembling a Mayweather fight, but he didn't... he went in and traded when he didn't need to.

Khan was boxing for 9 rounds and jumped onto his bicycle in the final 3 rounds because he was hurt. There is nothing wrong with running when you're hurt - if that's what it takes to come out with the W, then so be it.

Maidana made the gesture to Khan during the middle rounds to trade carelessly with him, but why should he? Khan was picking him apart with beautiful combinations, he had Maidana frustrated and was boxing his ears off. Khan outlanded Maidana 162-62 in total punches in rounds one through six. Maidana was evidently frustrated that Khan was able to hit him so often.

Khan has the skills to beat any fighter at 140, but tonight was proof that he can dig out a tough, grueling win against a dynamite puncher.

Obviously he wouldn't fight someone like Bradley the same way - styles make fights and Freddie & Khan will have a different game-plan if that fight takes place.

who said maidana was one of the hardest punchers in this sport? you?

Are you serious, mate?


What the fuck are you smoking?

[ronnie_N.]

khan has a glass chin. if he's in there w/ someone who is as powerful as maidana, w/ so much better technique than maidan, khan would get KTFO in the 10th round!

oh, i thought we already have it wrapped-up... this is it people, the most idiotic analysis we have for tonight... dude want khan to fight a big puncher with so much better technique?.. oh i know, how about Jesus?..

[cabrademonte]

Yeah right taking a punch and holding or running. He still got a weak chin.

[check hook]

Honestly, if you like running more than fighting, do us all a favor and switch to track and field.

On the other hand, Chino moved up a couple places in my favorite fighters list. He is a ****ing monster.

I was rooting for Maidana....but Khan wasn't running.......he was moving. It's a thing you're allowed to do in boxing, unless ofcourse you are a MP opponent.

[cabrademonte]

Dude i am not a mayweather fan, but please do not compere him with khan. Mayweather sometimes run yes, but believed me he wold have kick maidanas ass without all the exesive holding. It was lime everytime khan got hit, he hold and hold and hold. If i want to see that exesive holding i should hqve watch the ufc last night.

So whats is going to be khans plan when he fight somebody else with pop? Or he is going to just not fight anyone with pop

[Check]

No, he didn't lose respect in my book. This is Boxing, not brawling. Khan showed a lot of heart in there but he also showed that he still has so many flaws.

[z0jo]

he was in survival mode in the 10th. His legs were swimming in jello. Floyd and Manny and dont get into that mode. Amir's chin is far from elite.

watch the second round of the mosley-mayweather fight, floyd was in the same survival mode khan was in.

[cabrademonte]

Yeah i know, khan was picking him up apart and i was loving that, but it started to piss me off when he start holding everytime he got hit. It was everytime, that was crazy. And if he wasnt holding he was running or moving like you want to call it.
