If only Kenny Bayless was there to keep Joe Cortez from holding Maidana to keep him off Khan.

Originally posted by mathed View PostMaybe Khan should go watch that fight again. Sure, he dropped Maidana early with a great bodyshot but Maidana got up and pressed on, much like he did in the Ortiz fight. Had Khan been this devastating boxer like he thinks that he is, then Maidana would have never even made it to the 2nd round.
As the fight progressed, Khan was FORCED into fighting off of the ropes and got punished until he himself almost hit the deck. Also, Maidana was deducted a point for an illegal punch and had that point not been taken away, he would have won by MD with one judge having it a draw and the other two having him winning by merely one point. For some reason, he seems to think he won by a landslide but it would appear that he squeaked by with a narrow victory, at least according to the judges. But, what should we expect from a guy who calls himself a "king" and refers to himself in the third person?

Khan destroyed Maidana fairly easy, even Maidana admitted that if there was 30 seconds left in the first round after he took that body shot he wouldn't have made it out of the first round.
Let's face it, Khan needed one attempt to school Maidana while Floyd needed 2 attempts to look pretty ordinary against him. And the version of Maidana that Khan fought was fresh and hadn't been in as many wars as when Floyd finally fought him (almost a shot version of Maidana by that point) and of course we all know he ducked Khan just so he could fight Khan's leftovers.

This fight was fight of the year for a reason. And it wasn't because it was a one-sided schooling that's for sure.

Take away the perfect body-shot in the 1st that stunned Maidana for 3 rounds, and the fight is much closer overall.
