I don't understand how Khan survived against Maidana.

[jaded]

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

It was mainly this. After that shot, it took Maidana about another four or five rounds to get into the fight. He was really messed up by that shot. By the time he got back into it, it was half way through the fight and he hadn't done enough damage and was still arm punching a bit because of the body shot.

The ref, **** Cortez, also stopped the fight in Khans favour way, way too much.

Mostly the body shot though.

That was a devastating liver shot...you could see it in his face. It pretty rare that a guy can get up and fight after a shot like that and it cost him a few rounds for sure. I'd say Maidana wins easy in a rematch today.

That punch was brutal and Maidana getting up and surviving that showed unbelievable heart and determination.

I went to Vegas for the fight with my girl because I love Marcos and hate Khan and when that punch landed I looked at her immediately and said "it's over" and I got up out of my seat and got ready to walk out.

Cortez was awful the lowlight being when he took a point off of Marcos for elbowing him and not even touching Khan.

I actually saw Cortez coming into the arena from the Mandalay parking garage and day and I yelled at him from about 30 yards away "Let Maidana fight tonight Joe!"

I still wonder if he felt an extra little **** you for me that night.

It's not easy winning a handicapped match.

Had Maidana knocked out Khan, Joe would have hit him with a steel chair and laid Khan's lifeless corpse on top of him and counted, declaring Khan the winner.

Think you've seen one too many WWF matches... or whatever they are called nowadays.

[Scary]

Too much hate on khan, if the gameplan is good and he doesnt get too arrogant he beat most people he lost to. Especially Garcia.

[Mr Ehrmantraut]

khan shifted his guts in the first round, not many fighters can even come back from that. i have no idea why glass jaw never went back to the body. he pitty-pat'd and circled away the rest of the fight.

Agreed, it was sheer ******ity that he didn't go back to the body.

Also he needs Ariza back in his team ASAP.

[Allegedly]

Too much butthurt from some people. Khan fought well against Maidana, and was in great condition. The ref didn't ruin the fight, although Khan was lucky to survive round...10, I think it was.

What a loser.. jesus christ.

Its because Khan actually has a good chin. Anyone with a glass chin would've been Koed by Maidana and Peterson, pretty easily.

The thing with the Garcia KO, he got clocked in the neck, really really hard. It doesn't matter how good your chin is, if you get hit clean in side of the neck, your legs are immediately finished.

I've seen it happen in the ring at my fight club, guy got hit in the neck, and was gone. Regardless, Khan got too agressive, didn't respect Garcia's power enough, and paid the price. Khan would beat Garcia in a rematch, but would not be able to escape Lucas, imo.

Too much hate on khan, if the gameplan is good and he doesnt get too arrogant he beat most people he lost to. Especially Garcia.

The one thing Garcia does really well is counter guys with fast hands. It's not like the left hook was the first shot he landed, he put a lot of solid counter rights on Khan while Khan was throwing his flurries. And left hook landed he flicked the switch and Khan's legs turned to jelly.

Khan is so dependent on darting in and out and using his handspeed that I can't imagine Danny not timing him and landing something big again. Khan will always expose himself in the pocket as he doesn't have the ability to slip and roll shots and he seemingly has no ability to anticipate his opponent's counters. If he's to survive 12 rounds with Garcia he's going to have to get very lucky.

[TOBYLEE1]

Khan wobbled his way to victory.

Khan is able to absorb better punches when he sees them coming ala Maidana and Peterson.

When he has gotten knocked down or out it is usually on a counter he doesn't see.

HE DOES NOT HAVE A WORLD CLASS CHIN, he is the Fernando Vargas of the 140 lbs. Simply to brave for his chin
