Comments Thread For: Maidana: "I Thought The Ref Was Going To Punch Me"

Yes you should move on maidana. Khan could have finished youin the second round if he hit your body more.

Yup, if he had worked on that body more it would've been over within 6.

i agreed with u, all these people giving maidana props for sticking through it but what about khan?? khan gets no respect for pulling it off and getting the win? I still dont think khan can hang with guys like floyd and manny but to discredit this guy like this is just plain hate!

nice posting indolifer, is he floyd meow mayweather?

khan probably thought he had maidana and wanted to go for the kill. I agree if khan would just stick to the body he could have put maidana away. I guess khan wanted to put maidana to sleep instead.

I don't get it. I mean I was all for Maidana during that fight, and no one was fighting dirtier than he was. First he wouldn't touch gloves with Amir in the beginning of the rounds, he almost elbowed Cortez, he hit Amir behind the head on dozens of occassions, and Cortez didn't see the low blow in the 11th or 12th round. Winning the last 3 rounds of a fight doesn't earn you a W at the end of the night.

You sound like a baby
He doesnt have to touch gloves in the beginning of any round other than the 12th which he did. He elbowed cortez by accident imo and got a point taken away. Iv never seen a point taken for hitting the ref accidently, arent you supposed to hit your opponent with an elbow to be deducted a point?
Amir held like Maidana was his lover, and bent his head down many occasion. Its not maidanas fault that he didnt have a target and hit anything he could. I had Maidana winning rounds 3,6,7,9,10,11,12. Thats 6 rounds plus both had 10-8 rounds. The bs point deduction made the diff in the fight on my scorecard, otherwise i would have it a draw, which would be very understandable. Khan showed guts tho and the heart of a champ, he has crazy skills but lacks a chin. I dont blame khan but cortez for stinking a foty candidate

The ref should also warn fighters for too much holding. This is not a wrestling match, I could understand why Maidana was so upset.

The only time that I thought Cortez was in the wrong was when he would break up the clinch when both fighters have 1 hand free.

I was rooting for Maidana but this is one of the most ****** posts I've seen.

1. Maidana didn't have to hit Khan with an elbow to have a point deducted. The point is, he TRIED to hit Khan with an elbow, and Cortez deducted a point.

You have Maidana winning rounds 3,6,7,9,10,11,12...how the hell?! And then you go on to state those are six rounds....you just counted seven.

There is no way Maidana won more than 5 rounds (in the most optimistic scenario). Even if he won six rounds, Khan edged it. No matter how you slice it, he won. No draw...he won.

I'm glad somebody has some sense. Maidana swung at him when Khan was trying to touch gloves, then tried and hit him with an elbow. Then hit Kahn in the back of the head...hahah I mean WTF do people want?

Cortez is one of the best refs in the game, he did an excellent job and wouldn't have had to step in if Maidana wouldn't have tried dirty tactics.

Too little too late for Maidana IMO.

People need to look at the times when cotez seperated them in the 10th.

First was 5 seconds after the huge shot where Maidanas Head was under Khans armpit---Justified

Second was a min later when Khan got turned around with his back to miadana and Maidana clocked him in the back of the head---Justified

Next was about 5 seconds later when Maidana pushed Khans head down below his crotch---Justified

Another is 20 secs later when Maidana almost went out of the ring---Justified

Cortez's only downfall was not handing out any warnings or punishment for shots thrown in the clinches.
