St Marco Posted 11 December, 2010 Share Posted 11 December, 2010 Going to be a really good night of boxing tonight! De Gale vs Smith hate each other so should be good. But Khan Maidana could be one of the fights of the year. Maidana is one of the most powerful fighters around. Like having bricks for fists. His body shots are brutal and if he connects with the right hook Khan will be going to hospital. 30 fights, 27 knockouts, 22 of those being in the first 3 rounds. If you not seen the guy before watch this. This is a huge test for Khan. It is a massive gamble because he has been down a few times before and has been labelled as having a glass chin. The media beat him down for it and think it will hold him back in his career. So putting him in with the biggest puncher will either show those critics right or proove them wrong. Khan will use his speed and move all night. He will throw the jab and move. It is hard to imagine Khan knocking Maidana out as nobody has done that, he is like a tank. So you have to think this will be a 12 round fight. You also have to think there is no way Khan can dodge being hit for 12 rounds, at some point he is going to get hit. If he stands and trades with Maidana he will die, if he gets cornered up against the ropes he will get his ribs broken. The only chance he has is to hit and move and hope to win on points. This fight will determine if he really has learnt under Roach and Pacman and eradicated his weaknesses. If he can win this fight we could be looking at Khan vs Mayweather next year. I hope Khan wins. The guy has taken a lot of flak over the years, i like most have doubted his ability. But huge credit to him, he has stepped up and is fighting one of the best fighters out there. And if he wins then he will fight the winner of Bradley/Alexander and unify the division. Unlike a lot of other fighters he hasen't taken the easy route. Another great fight on the card will be Kell Brooks fight. If he wins he will be the number 1 contender to Pacman! Doubt he will get that fight though somehow...

St Marco Posted 11 December, 2010 Author Share Posted 11 December, 2010 About 2am i think, they got an awesome undercard on the las vegas bill too. The Victor Ortiz fight should be good. I hope Smith wins this fight but De Gale is a class act, he will become a world champion for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Marco Posted 12 December, 2010 Author Share Posted 12 December, 2010 Degale seriously could go on to be one of the best British fighters of all time. 9th fight and British champion. The thing is he is hated because he is arogant, a bit like how Naz was. But eventually i think they will realise he just has faith in his own ability and warm to him. That uppercut he got him with was vicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revolution saint Posted 12 December, 2010 Share Posted 12 December, 2010 Kahn proved today that even though he may still get hit that he can take a punch. Good performance and well done to the conditioning lads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
