    I'm glad Khan got taken to the trenches cause it proved once and for all that Khan has Heart, toughness and mostly importantly of all, punch resistance. The chin was never as bad as most would have you believe, but people wanted to see this 'new' Khan in with a puncher to see it to believe it.

    You saw it, and Khan passed the test.

      If this is truly what the threadstarter believes he should consider going to a psychologist as i fear for his mental health.

          This.

          I think it's a resounding success. Khan took a beating. Who the f.uck thought Khan could take a beating.

          There really are some terrible ****s on this forum.


          Also, Chunk Spurs today. I fear we'll never win again. Gareth Bale vs Paulo Ferriera is like David Haye vs Audley Harrison.

            Before the fight everybody said that Khan would get beat against a pressure fighter with power like Maidana. So Khan does a job on him (and lets not be under any illusions, apart from2 mins in round 10 Khan was boxing MM head off for most of the fight) and now everyone says he'll lose against someone with speed and power. No doubt some people won't be satisfied until he KO one of Klitchkos.

              Is Van Der Vaart playing? Him and freak are a great partnership.

              I actually think we'll win today. Spurs are just as inconsistent as us.

                Khan fought the most RELENTLESS POWERFUL PUNCHER in the division and Top 5 Puncher p4p in BOXING. Maidana is the **** and we all knew it was going to Be a fight. The difference between the Prescott and Khan fight is that Khan actually stood on his feet this time.

                  You're under illusions. Two judges and myself had it 114-111 after the knockdown and point deduction. Don't try to minimize Maidana's success just to round 10. Both fighters had their moments nearly every round.

                    Kahns chin was a bit disappointing. He's almost got everything down, but his stamina and endurance may be in question

                      I have to admit I was a bit disappointed as well. Yes, his chin held up but god did he get hit at will. A guy like Bradley/Alexander are so much more polished and faster that Maidana, they are going to land at ease. Sure, they don't hit as hard as Marcos but it usually is the punch that you don't see that hurts the most. I have my doubts that Khan can get through this division as top dog.
