Maidana says he’ll finish off Khan in England
January 27th, 2011
By Scott Gilfoid: Argentinian knockout artist Marcos Maidana (29-2, 27 KO’s) is ready right now to travel to England and put WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan (24-1, 17 KO’s) out of his misery in a rematch that almost boxing fans, including HBO, are interested in seeing. Khan had been talking about wanting to fight little known UK fighter Paul McCloskey, but that fight fell through earlier today because of Khan’s low offer.
In his twitter account, Maidana said this to Khan: “Should be less ambition and to think bigger. I would go to England to finish what I left of him in Las Vegas.”
There it is. Maidana is ready knock Khan out and give him another beating. If Khan is confident and believes in himself, he’ll take the fight because this is the opponent that he needs to face if he wants to become a star. Khan isn’t going to become a star on the cheap by beating up the likes of McCloskey, Paulie Malignaggi and Dimitri Salita. Khan has to man up and show that he can beat Maidana this time without the referee literally pulling Maidana off of Khan while he’s getting pummeled on the ropes.

run khan run .. he wont fight because he will get beaten excuse after excuse wiv khan fans ,,, run khan run
think khan should be looking to fight either bradley or alexander, a rematch with maidana wouldent create that much interest, hes beaten him once
Maidana should stop crying&count himself lucky that in the 1st round he went down&receovered because of the bell or u were GONE u clown…Khan easily beat him 8 rounds soild…and yeh if there is a rematch Khan would beat him in all 12 rounds!!!
look at khans face after the fight..and maidana didnt have a scracth..khan was on the verge of getting Ko if it wasnt for his constant running..arm locking! and the referee to bail him out every time..
If khan and maidana will fight again maidana will win because according to the last fight in 3 or 4 he beat khan quite good
Maidana had his chance and came up short! I didn’t give Khan much credit before the last bout, but he did well. If they fight again, and Khan wins again, will Maidana cry again and want another shot? As for Prescott whinging, who cares!
well done gilfoid a reasonable article, khan needs to fight maidana again to learn from his last mistakes and improve everyone wants to see this fight again
@ Julio. Yeah you’re right i do like FOOTBALL (soccer is word used to americanise it). You see the difference between a talented and skillful boxer and a brawler is wuite simple. A skillful boxer skips around the ring enticing his brawler opponent to come forward so he can pick him off with his shots and ease his way through the fight. If you want to see two guys brawl then watch UFC. If u havent realised boxing is an art form u idiots. For example pretty boy Floyd, why is he called that cos he dont bloody get hit and then looks for his o@penings and picks his shots. Pacman, hardly ever gets hit cos he circles his opponent and then goes in with short bursts. Whats funny is u guys on here want to watch amir khan brawl. Why???? Cos no american boxer can brawl, u dont have fighters who have granite chins and get there a** kicked u have in the passed may i add have had skillful boxers like sugar ray! The truth is guys Khan will fight the winner of alexander and Bradley (WHO U REFUSE TO TALK ABOUT AS THEY ARE PRETTY CR*P) and then u aint gonna have anything to talk about.
@ Bill – seriously is that all u can say he is a horrible ref. Madaina elbowed him so in my eyes thats a point deducted. Aint Khans fault or Cortez fault that Madaina felt the only way he could win was by punching his opponent in the back of the head and trying to elbow him.
@ Bren – these guys aint got a clue about boxing, they wouldnt know good boxing if they saw it as u can tell, they cant see how good khan is
I hate saying this, but, Khan, if he sticks with his jab and body punches will knock Maidana out. Their fight would have ended early if Khan kept on sticking to the body. Maidana was a disappointment in that fight, in England, he will probably perform terrible. Khan has the advantage if they do rematch.
Ricky we know you like soccer !! After seen can running like crazy around tha ring !!
I can’t wait to see maidana knock his ass out!!!!!!!!and you better belive it’s going to happen maidana it’s not going make the same mistake and he knows he can take khans punches!! That’s what’s worries khan you don’t have to be a expert to see tha Khan hit him with everthing he had and couldn’t get the job done!!
Khan willl never beat Maidana again….if he ever has the balls to face him
cortez knew what to do to stiop Maidana from finishing Khan/…….and he did as he was supposed to do …………rob Maidana
@ William, If Maidana knows what Khans gonna do then surely Khan knows what maidana’s gonna do. Maidana is a bomber no douby about it, but hes one-demensional, Khan can fall back to a plan B or C, Maidana just chugs forward. Khan wont let the same mistakes happen again.
bill dont waste your breath face facts its gonna be a low level fighter for khan he will get some bum watch n see . theres two great fights out there but he wants none of it . hes been called kentucky fried khan thats how he should be remembered . excuse after excuse with the khan fans they need to wake up he hasnt got a fighter and theres two willing to come to england to fight him .. now listen to all the excuses his auntys ill hes got this new radar that picks out easy fights etc lmao
@Ricky- cortez is a horrible ref. I thought everyone knew that. He doesnt allow a fight to take place.
His ego is on another level. It was childish for cortez to get annoyed. Hes supposed to be refereeing a fight, a violent aggressive sport. He had it coming the amount of times he jumps in the instance a fighter gets too close. The hatton mayweather fight was the worst. He was like some annoying fly.
Maidanas plan was to trap khan on the ropes with his constant running away. Cortez doesnt allow this of course.
Hey guys, a rematch would be intriguing but I think the results would be similar. Khan may take a shot or two but I think he gained a lot of confidence in his chin with the shots he took and still stayed erect. He’ll just be smart for all 12 rounds this time.
@ ricky… well said mate, spot on.
“because this is the opponent that he needs to face if he wants to become a star”
guess what?? kahn already fought and BEAT maidanna, and he is fast becoming a superstar. you sad yanks really need to get over the fact that kahn is the best 140 fighter out there.
Kahn doesn’t want any more of Maidina or Prescott…….who will he fight?
@ Big Dog. Any sports fan who doesnt like the result of a match blames the ref. You guys who say cortez was getting in the way are jokers. You watched 1-2 rounds of a fight to make ur judgement. Small dog watch the full fight again instead of acting like madainas ‘b*tch’
You say in this article, that khan has to fight this guy to be a star. You, Willie and Anmbrose had said this before the last fight. Last fight madaina lost and was rolling around like a b*tch in the first round. Get over yourself no point in a rematch, khan should take a tune up fight with someone with a similar style to bradley or alexander and then unify the division at the end of the year. I think before you throw hate at amir why dont you ask the question, why have bradley and alexander stayed clear of Madaina maybe they should fight him to earn a shot at Khan.
i dont beleave a word this idiot says !!!!
Khan doesn’t need Maidana right now. Why would he fight him so soon after already proving he is the better boxer. Yeah he was hurt in the 10th but did he go down? No. Khan should be looking to fight boxers with higher skill levels to develop his own skills better by testing himself against different sorts of fighters. He will be fighting a ‘tune up’ fight in April and then he will take on the winner of Bradley-Alexander to see who the best 140 pounder is. Then maybe a few years down the line he might meet Maidana but we will see!
I’m of the opinion that khan just got sloppy in the later rounds and if there was to be a rematch which I would like to see he wouldn’t let it go that far into the fight were he got tired and cagey.
I don’t see how anyone would not want to watch a rematch. The first fight was awesome maidana goes down first and the in the 6th he starts landing bombs. If khan wants to be great like how ya make him out to be he’s gonna need rematches and trilogys. If I was khan and I won why wouldn’t I want to go at it again. Who cares if I won I’d do it again so I’d prove I’m better.
i fully believe Maidana would beat Khan in a rematch as he knows what to expect from khan and would put that pressure on Khan much earlier than in the last fight….which like it or not Khan won and deservedly so. However, i think it would be a different outcome in a rematch
Maidana won 2 rounds you idiot, surprised you’re not still commenting on khan’s ‘glass jaw’ you moron, either you get commission on how many comments you get on an article or you really are a tobacco chewing redneck with hatred towards talent.
What kind off gight where u guys watching if it wasn’t for joe cortez khan would off gotten knockout maidana was putting the beating on khan yeah he knock him down but he got up and had khan running for his life
i seem to remenber Maidana rolling around on the floor within 3 minutes. He is the most 1 dimensional fighter in the div, Khan doesnt need him
Nobody wants to watch Khan beat up Maidana again. Nobody.
