Why was Maidana able to get up from this liver shot?

[A-Wolf]

Two things:

1) Maidana hits hard
2) Maidana hits even harder when he's hitting a little boy ****ting his pants.

^^^^^^^^^^

It saved him that fight possibly. Agreed, DR.

possibly yes

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Because Maidana is an animal, a beast,

[crazed_z06]

Maidana is like horror movie character.. like Jason. You have to utterly destroy Jason to defeat him. He will not stop coming until he's completely dead.

Same with Maidana. You can see a look of extreme pain when he's on the ground, but there was no way he wasnt going to get up. That was pure will.

[Box-Office]

his body is soft as hell, which makes it all the more impressive he got up

Just like Khan with his weak chin gets up and keeps coming back to fight big names.

[baya]

That was not Maidana at his best. That was not Maidana at 100%. You're oversimplifying past the point I'll allow myself.

Take note baya; Maximus did "win" even though he got shanked.

when you're able to secure the 10th, 11th and 12th round in a fight you're over the damage you've sustained in the first round. it IS that simple.

[Box-Office]

Maidana got up and all the credit in the world to him for that. Lets not forget it takes two to tango (no pun intended), so both being warriors is what made this fight great, so though Khan won its Maidana's warrior spirit that got him to where is today and fighting arguably the p4p#1 fighter.

its like a gunshot

ggg vs macklin . .

[daggum]

because he realized it was khan that hit him and he wasn't hurt at all
