Khan on Maidana: I beat this guy easily, knocking him down and making him look silly

[Dirk Diggler UK]

He was getting his ass kicked and was trying to run away from it Cortez SAVED HIS ASS!

Also if you look closely, Khan is holding Maidana Right Arm

Saved his ass how? Maidana had two full minutes to knock Khan out in that round and he failed. Cortez broke them up when Khan's back was turned. What was he supposed to do? Let Maidana hit him in the back of the head?

Khan would beat him more easily if they fought tomorrow....


Hitting in the back of the head is not kicking someones ass. I was more impressed with Khan after that fight than I was with Maidana. Floyd fans love coming on forums to downplay potential floyd opponents.

I don't think so. Maidana would go straight for the bumrush and not stop until Khan was against the ropes. Khan would tie up until the booing fans forced the ref to deduct a point. Once he restrains himself from clinching, he starts taking heavy damage and Khan will go out on his shield.

And what the hell do you think he was doing in the first fight? Boxing?

He had Khan Wobbled CLEARLY! Also the reason why he turned like that was because he was trying to CLINCH Maidana wouldn't let him but instead Khan held on to his Right Arm and turned his back and literally TURNED while Maidana was throwing Punches

Again nobody is denying Khan won, but he said he "Beat Maidana Easily" and that is a ***IN LIE!

I guarantee you the new khan outboxes maidana relatively easily. He doesn't stay in the pocket too long anymore... I'm not even a Khan fan at all, but Khan is the third best welterweight right now...He beat maidana fair and square. They will likely not fight again

Narrowly escaped? What does it matter how narrowly he was escaping it. When you avoid a punch, you avoid it, it doesn't matter how far or close it came to hitting you. It still missed because Khan was seeing it.

Maidana was swinging for the fences because he was getting totally outclassed otherwise. There was no technique in what he was doing

Or you turn your back on your opponent.

Like Khan did.

Twice.

In one round.

He should have been deducted a point at best, could have been DQ.

Khan schooled him until he got caught with a big shot in the 8th or 9th, there was no comparison in terms of skill, it was only Khan's chin which even let Maidana into the fight.

Edit: just laughing at the interviewer asked Khan if his wife is an "Eastern wife, she cooks for you?". She must think Western women are useless in the home.

in what world is 111-114, 111-114, 112-113 with a knockdown and a point deduction in one fighter's favor a schooling? maidana had a great 6th and 7th round before he got the big shot in the 10th. besides the first round, the rounds khan won weren't entirely a wash either. it was a competitive fight till the very end.

"khan won 11 to 1" typical revisionist bull**** from UK posters.

"In what world" does one apply 12 round scorecards to an opinion specifically concerning the first 8-9 rounds?

Anyhow, you should read the rest of the thread.

I barely gave him the 7th tbh, it wasn't a great round from either fighter with a lot of shots blocked and it was an even worse one for the British commentary team who crapped themselves over not very much.

Maidana was well behind on points by the end of the 9th round on my card, posted earlier in the thread.

I love how people are downplaying that win now. It was a very good win for Khan, easily the best of his career.

But Khan, seriously, it wasn't easy and everyone knows it. It's on youtube.

nobody downplay it, the second part of your post explains why people can take him seriously

if khan schooled maidana so badly for a huge chunk of the fight, how did he arrive to such lousy scorecards?

uh how do you remember that round so well but can't remember which round khan got busted up in?
