Maidana vs Khan II: Who wins?

[dan_cov]

Its going to be hard to pick against Maidana as he just put up a great performance against the p4p #1
However it was a hugely flattering performance & I still say Maidana is not an elite fighter. In fact I think he is the biggest overachiever in boxing.
No dislike or hatred towards him, I am just noway near as high on him as others are.

He is strong, heavy handed & gutsy but does absolutely nothing particularly well. He is just a classic case of a very unskilled fighter with a very effective high volume brawling style.
Sometimes in boxing it only takes a few attributes to achieve great things & other times you can have many, many tools but get nowhere as you're lacking just one or two important aspects.

I would take the Khan from saturday over the Maidana from saturday in a heartbeat and a strong possibility of a stoppage.
Khan pivots he doesn't pull back in straight lines & lay on the ropes & I think that is the difference.
Repeat of the first fight for most part with Khan freezing him with combinations & blurring handspeed. Maidana is just too slow, yes Khans chin is bad but when he can see the shots coming he is fine.
Its when hes coming forward & gets in exchanges he gets tagged & hurt

Khan does the Booty Dew yet again.

Chino doesn't look as polished as he is, he's pure business in that ring, doesn't do anything flashy but he's highly effective.

I'm a kHan fan but if Maidana goes in like he did against Mayweather, he'd stop Khan inside 5.

don't you know guys? this is the same maidana from 2010, hell, this is the same maidana from the corley fight, khan is the only one with room for improvement.

dude looked like wlad protecting his cristal chin in there, clinching and holding most of the time and they say is a better fighter hahaha only khan fans.

Exactly. People don't believe fighters can change, can get better, or worse.

He gets it done. He goes to work while his opponent does the booty dew.

Khan has much better pop at 147, I see this going the same as Khan vs Maidana 1, unless Maidana really badly hurts him (very possible as it's MoFo'n Chino Yo!) I can see Khan schooling him to a 12 UD sticking to the Collazo game plan. If he lands that hellacious body shot to Maidana again, it could get very interesting.

I don't think Khan outboxes Chino easily under Garcia.
