yeah I've got Khan UD, should be by 3 points or so.

10th round was critical, certain British refs would have stopped it and given Maidana the TKO. Khan proves he has a chin, just needs to pace himself a bit better next time, he got too eager trying to stop Maidana after the 1st round knockdown.

hbo saying that teh ref should have stopped in in teh 10th

though cortez was a bit biased with the holding

114-111
114-111
113-112
KHAN

Khan has won imo, but the point off, and knockdown are going to make it look wider that it was

Daft thing to say (by HBO), seeing as Khan made the final bell- and won!

cant argue with the judges in comparison with my scores , the maidana round that i gave as a 10-8 plus a few that i gave level which could have gone either way .

Possibly they gave a 10-8 too Maidana though.

(edit - they did)

What was the Controversy at the end? (as mentioned by SKY?)

his hooter must be killing him :!:

he really need's to learn how to parry them uppercuts were nawty

anyone thought maidana won? I had it close with khan just nicking it.

Great fight but Amir's gonna get Meldrick Taylor'd at some point.


I really thought khan would win easily. That's shaken my confidence.

All three judges gave both Khan and Maidana a 10-8 round.

And Maidana lost a point.

Scored it level , dont think anyone else did or gave it to maidana that have said on here so far , i gave maidana a 10-8 many people wont have

Khan took some punishment in that fight, he is battered around the eyes, and his nose looks broken.

Maidana looks suprisingly fresh - I don't know where Khan will go from here, but that fight will have taken a lot out of him in my opinion.

What a fight though.

All judges did, and no rounds were officially scored even.

I had it 114-111 Khan. Great fight, and he certainly showed an improved chin. His biggest troubles came on the inside, where Maidana would rip him with uppercuts. He only has offense in the middle of the ring and when he is at a distance.

Completely mental fight, no-one would have thought he could have shipped that amount of punishment.

Bit worried about proud he seems about him getting tagged so much!!!!

Onwards and upwards though, he silenced the doubts about his chin, people will start on his defence now though!

Great fight, he always gives value for money.

anyone notice maidana swinging for khan when he tried to touch gloves , in the first and then again in the 11th

great experience and confidence boost for Khan. Coming through against the biggest raw puncher in the division and putting him down hard in round 1.

If Khan paces himself better then he should beat Bradley/Alexander.

Do you mean he said it during the round (fair enough to him then) - but if he said it at the end, thats daft (of him.)

there has to be a rematch

HBO must make this happen as maidana was clearly unhappy when interviewd by merchant

I told every daft fcker that would listen years ago that Khan's chin was Ok. Think some people need to give their heads a shake but they'll be well into hiding now the sad saps!

OOhh, banged hard in the first round by a banger, he must be made of china. Smell the fcking coffee morons. He got up every time when he was down (aformentioned aside).

A really good night for 2 of Britain's best, my favourite, and yet hated boxers. Get up!!

In the 11th, fair enough.

did anyone else notice his sign his corner held up before the start? It was about the Falklands (or Malvinas as they call it)
