Khan was able to brace the punches of Maidana for the most part because Maidana isnt fast and throws wide looping punches. Boxers with faster hands can hurt Khan cause the punches that you don't see are the ones that can really hurt you especially if you're not known for having a great chin.

no that was the cleanst punch chino has ever land in the whole fight and this was a exterme fatigue Marcous. If Marcous had a little more gas Khan would of been out. alot of people are on BS think Khan chin has improve because he was able to with stand some chinos uppercuts. Those uppercuts didnt have any pop he was throwing them to close and Khan gaurd was up as wellComment

No. He was getting ****** around by a severely weakened fighter.
If you think that was Maidana's best, you are insane. MM was seriously hurt by Con's early bodywork. And was weakened for the balance of the fight.
A fresher Chino murks the hypejob. But all credit to the Brit hype for doing to Chino what he did early.Comment

I dont think he was that gassed, and his fatigue was a result from Khans punching and boxing.no that was the cleanst punch chino has ever land in the whole fight and this was a exterme fatigue Marcous.

The 'If Mad was fresher' nonsense can be applied to Khan. He also was getting tired and his defence got worse. So 'IF Khan was fresher, he wouldnt have got hit'.Last edited by The Noose; 12-12-2010, 03:18 PM.Comment

Lol i know people were expecting Khan to melt the first time Maidana tagged him. His chin is better than we all thought but I still would be hesitant to call it "good" considering how shaky he is when he gets caught.
I think its funny reading some posters who act like every time you move up in weight your chin just gets better all of a sudden. At 147 strong punchers like berto would put him to sleep no problem.Comment
