In response to Amir Khan’s comments stating that Marcos Maidana and his team are overpricing a possible fight between them next December 11, Maidana has this to say:

“I’m focused 100% in my fight next Saturday against Demarcus Corley at the moment. But I still have some time to take a look at the news, so yesterday I’ read yet another lie from Amir Khan on the news and here is my answer. Khan is saying that we are overpricing the fight which is completely false since we didn’t even start any negotiations with Golden Boy Promotions, whatsoever. I want the fight, that’s it. But we never discussed any money figures for that bout to happen December 11″, Maidana said.

“Khan, the king of liars, is at it once again when it comes to talk about fighting me. He is trying to make boxing fans believe that I’m overpricing myself when in reality that is an excuse from Khan not to face me,” Maidana added.

did i say paulie was mandatory? i said salita was, so your saying 2 of the first 3 defences of a title you HAVE to fight 2 mandatory's? dog shite mate! since when does anybody face mandatory's anymore? froch didn't fight 1 mandatory in his 3! since when has mayweather..marquez..pacman?

crusader wrote:I think Ortiz hits harder than Khan, but Khan has still decent pop and his tremendous speed allows him to connect with clean shots fairly regularly. Repetitive clean shots from a decent puncher will wear down almost any fighter at some point. Maidana is easy to hit, and I'm sure Khan can stop him if he really turns it on. I have always favored Khan by stoppage against Maidana. Maidana can punch, but he is so limited, and I don't believe he is some sort of unusually durable ironman.

Since Khan went with Freddie Roach he has been taught to fight in a manner that suits him hands tight to the chin and hammer home the jab. If he keeps the same game plan against Maidana and Bradley neither will even get close enough to do any damage through fear of the big shots.

To be fair mate he got up 3 times against ortiz from pretty heavy knockdowns.

I think you need to watch more boxing if you think that was a jab.

He means the first punch.It was a jab.I have supported Amir on here(didnt even know it rhymes!)for a long time so have no reason to dispute it.I also think he will be virtually unbeatable if he keeps his chin out of the way(a stupid statement in Boxing,i know)

Maybe you should watch more boxing too since it was a left hook.

Yeah but maidana is willing to take shots to get his own in ive noticed which makes him dangerous!Dont get me wrong he is very crude and slow but he's very determined and that can be a very good asset in itself.

Yeah maybe he is willing to take shots to get in his own but Khan can fire quick combos that would mean he would be taking a massive gamble taking a shot top get in close.
