Khan can outbox Maidana but Maidana is a big puncher and finds ways to get his punches in there, one punch from Maidana would probably end the fight for him unless Khan's punch resistance has improved dramatically with the move up in weight. It's a good clash of styles, should make for a good fight. -
This journalist should watch Marco Maidana fight a few times before he talks about "crude swings." Maidana definitely isnt a technical fighter, but he has a very educated right hand that he manages to land on just about everybody, whether or not they're covering up or running. This fight is DANGEROUS for Khan right now.Comment

Khan should try to TKO him. He will really need to discourage and hurt him throughout the stretch of the match otherwise he will keep coming at him.
When a fighter is notorious for having a bad chin it gives the opposition more confidence than usual.
It could be a good win for Khan.Comment

good stuff, should be a good matchup.
Glad to hear Khan is doing the right thing.
If its on the jones Hopkins card then thats one hell of a night for boxing, hope the big fights dont clash timewise.
