Comments Thread For: Maidana, Adviser Discuss Amir Khan Loss, Cortez, More

[Traveler1]

Maidana shows his class with these comments and i agree with everything he said. Hes not crying robbery, just complaining about the ref who seemed to treat him unfairly like everyone else knows.

I'm not surprised by his comments. He seems like a nice, humble, low-key guy from el campo.

I have a feeling maidana might not be the same after that fight. He cant keep absorbing punishment like that, lets enjoy him while he lasts because it wont be long.

I think Khan caught the worst of it, particularly the last few rounds.

A function was hosted by journalists, family and friends for Marcos "El Chino" Maidana, who returned to his native Argentina after spending two months training in Las Vegas, where last Saturday he lost a close fight to Amir Khan - in what many experts are calling one of the best fights of the year.

Maidana whooped that boys ass!!!!!! It's ****ty that Khan is trying to deny the beating, but that's what happens when you have a huge ego due to the press. Maidana made Khan look like an amateur when he got hurt, dude ran ran ran. And I remember seeing Khan do a 6 punch combo hitting nothing but air, that **** was funny. If you hurt Khan he panics.

I seriously doubt there was any bribery involved. The only thing I can think of GBP having done is selecting Cortez knowing full well that his style of officiating suits their preferred fighter's style of fighting and not his opponent's, which isn't illegal.

Anyone who thinks it's Cortez's style should watch Calzaghe v Hopkins. Make no mistake Cortez is a bought off official.

The comment made by Maidana's team that he had to fight Khan and Cortez himself echoes the comments of Hatton following the Mayweather fight. That's how the fighter feels in there with Cortez refereeing and it ain't right in what is supposed to be a fair sporting contest.

I agree, altho hes a monster, and one of the most unfriendly fighters in the ring since duran, like roberto he seems like he can be the coolest person outside of it where it matters.

I think Khan caught the worst of it, particularly the last few rounds.

idk man Maidana took twice as many shots to the head, and Amir is by no means feather fisted. Amir to me probably became a better fighter after sat while, maidana will probably lose a step. I hope its not the case but history has proved that fights like this wear fighters.

nothing tops what cortez did to humbero soto. That was the most bs call iv seen to date. Idk why cortez is still a high profile ref, after all his **** ups.

whats he bringing up the falklands for?

get over it argies!

[starkiller]

No boxer should want Joe Cortez as there ref unless they're the ones paying him off. Worst ****ing ref of this era. I really can't believe a ref can be as piss poor as him without being paid off.

[komandante]

Don't trust dela Hoya he made you loss Suggest you poison him when he goes to Argentina to party, he's a fraud.

could've should've would've... he came to the fight with his eyes open. Khan's speed was the issue he must've addressed properly and knowing that the scorecard wasn't really showing blue skies in his favor, maidana's only way of winning was a KO at 10. but he didn't, of course Cortez wasn't much of a help either, more of a pain in boxing's ass!
