I don't understand how Khan survived against Maidana.

He has a very weak chin but nowhere near as bad as people like to make out...

He doesnt get knocked out cold, presscott, garcia both times got back up..

Its his recuperation thats the problem and his weak legs and scrambled brain..

Anyway they need to have a rematch at 147lbs

As just said, he tries to get up waaaay too quickly...

He also ran and held a lot in the dying rounds of the Maidana fight

khan took a lot out of maidana with that body kd in the first round....

Maidana is poorly conditioned there.

Numerous reasons, the ref was getting involved way too much & Maidana at that point was pretty gassed, he got a some energy back when he hurt Khan but not enough.

If he had hurt Khan in the 2nd or 3 rounds, it would've been over.

khan had tired maidana out enough so that he couldnt really hit top gear when khan was finally hurt, also everytime iv seen khan really hurt its with a left hook he doesnt see coming, i think its more of a techniqual weakness than bad chin, i agree with the guy that said its his recovery powers to clear his head and his legs that are his weakness.

True but also Khan was at his physical peak in terms of condition.

He had Ariza who trained him exceptionally well. Look at the snap in Khan's shots compared to how soft they are VS Julio Diaz. I think it is safe to say that he must be draining himself to make 140. Brother ****m commented on how big he was etc...

The ref got in the way every time Maidana moved in to end it.

THat's the best you've seen of Khan, and not the best Maidana. Besides that, Khan caught him with that early kidney shot that weakened Maidana a lot.

Yes, it was pretty obvious, shameful. The ref stopped Maidana when he was about to KO Khan. The ref. acted at times as if he was breaking up a bar fight or something. Its box, the idea is that if one guy cant hold up on his own he loses and thats that.
