I thought Khan fought very good, he showed everything, power, defense, boxing, combinations. He didn't fight anything like I thought he would, reckless, suffer some KD's, get tired/hurt in the championship rounds, and edge out a decision.Comment

After rewatching the fight, I have to say I think Floyd did enough to win. It was a close fight though and Maidana made Floyd's night very uncomfortable.Comment

I believe everyone's desire to see Floyd lose is getting the best of people. Yes it was competitive, yes it was close, yes I'd love to see a rematch. Maidana would've taken out anyone else that night, props to him. People also fail to realize, Floyd was getting hit with some bombs and he took them very well. He edged out a close decision but it was a clear win for him.Comment

I agree, I was once again very impressed with Floyd's greatness in the later rounds. Maidana missed a lot, he pressured, but he also missed.I believe everyone's desire to see Floyd lose is getting the best of people.

Floyd also countered well and fought much better on the inside than what I originally thought.
I found it interesting that Maidana said that Broner hits much harder that Floyd.Comment

Not hard to believe since he's always sitting down on his punches. He stays in the pocket and is mostly always in position to throw.I agree, I was once again very impressed with Floyd's greatness in the later rounds. Maidana missed a lot, he pressured, but he also missed.

True but we saw more of that with Floyd in this fight as well. In the later rounds Floyd landed some huge shots and Maidana didn't even flinch.
Take the right hand in the 10th I think it was, snapped Maidana's head back, but he didn't even blink. Where as the Broner shot at the end of the 11th really hurt Maidana and then hit him again in the 12th and had him going backward.
Maidana after that fight said he was hurt. Against Floyd is seemed he just walked through so many shots.Comment

Mayweather weighed 148 against Maidana while Broner several pounds more. It's easy to then see why Broner's punches had more of an impact.True but we saw more of that with Floyd in this fight as well. In the later rounds Floyd landed some huge shots and Maidana didn't even flinch.
