Maidana to fight on September 16th, says Amir Khan doesn’t have the balls to fight him
August 23rd, 2011
By William Mackay: Marcos Maidana (30-2, 27 KO’s) will be defending his WBA light welterweight title on September 16th against a still to be determined opponent at the Sociedad Alemana, Villa Ballester, Buenos Aires, Argentina. This comes after his previously scheduled opponent for August 27th, Robert Guerrero, tore up his rotator cuff, and could be out of action for as long as six months.
Maidana would like to get a rematch with WBA Super World light welterweight champion Amir Khan. That’s the real guy that Maidana wants to fight. Maidana lost to Khan last December but gave him a real pounding in a fight where Khan basically ran most of the fight and took severe punishment in the last three rounds. By the end of the bout, Khan’s fast was badly swollen, with his nose red and bleeding. Khan looked like someone stomped on his face. It was very hard fight for Khan and he needed to hold for the last three rounds to survive what likely would have been a knockout loss had there been a more hands off type referee working the fight like Steve Smoger.
Maidana said this to ringtv: “I’ve heard that Amir Queen Con has a date on December 10, yet I don’t believe this big mouth has the balls to face me again. He keeps fooling his own fans by making excuses all the time. Everyone in boxing wanted that rematch. I think I deserved it, and he knows it.”
Maidana is right. Pretty much everyone in boxing wanted to see Khan fight Maidana again except Khan, his trainer Freddie Roach, his promoters, and some of his diehard fans. The fight was a natural, one that would make a lot more money than his last two fights against little known Paul McCloskey and an old Zab Judah. Maidana is a competitive opponent, while McCloskey and Judah were mismatches walking in the door. They were good safe fights for Khan.

those in doubt about khan’s ba1l, should see his weigh in pics from Judah fight
those are bigger than those all of you lot here put together 
now as for who beats who? It is simple Khan beat Maidana.. simple. Now Khan has other priorities to take care of, he will do that. Once done with that if Maidan and Prescott still around, you will see get them defeated as well.
Michael129 like i said ‘HE WAS’ but didnt as he had faith in Khan…Khan won 9 rounds easy&in a rematch would win all 12!
at Boxingfan???? Really? Is that why Freddy Roach went public saying he underestimated Maidana.. that he was ready to throw in the towel.. and that he doesn’t think he should fight him again.
Oh and hindu’s marry dogs and animals BWAHAHAHAHA! no joke google it!
Anonymous – nah mate I think you’ll find that’s American hill billy’s or White gypsies in the UK!
Khan would beat Maidana even more convincingly in a rematch!
What ever happened to fighting a fighter two, three or even four times to prove that you were the best… Khan doesn’t have the heart of a TRUE CHAMPION… Watch Barrera vs Morales, all three of them.. Or Vasquez vs Rafael– all four of them.. Real champions– standing obations for a great performance- Not for belts, or even the money.
Khan its a little girls ! Cherry picking p–u—s—ss—y
MAIDANA!!!!
He beat you fair and square why risk a loss and tarnish the chances of Khan fighting Mayweather for a HUUUUGE pay day
Khan will rematch Maidana let in his career as he will prescott too, these 2 fights would appeal more then than they do at the moment
Maidana deserves a rematch with Khan but it won’t happen because Maidana is too dangerous and Freddie Roach doesn’t want to throw Khan in the cage with Maidana
Maidana is too dangerous and many known fighters duck him …. same with Sergio Martinez
thought maidana lost to khan already isn’t this old news shut up pea head maidana and move on you aren’t that good.
p a s s t h e t e s t, M a n n y ! ))
Why are 95% of keyboard warriors hindu
Hindus are weak
Come on, it wasnt close. going into the 10th khan was 11 points ahead, 9 rounds, a knockdown and a point deducted. even if you scored the 10th 10-8 (i did) and the 11th and 12th 10-9. you would still have a score of 116-109. the fight wasnt even close for 9 rounds rounds so dominating 1 round and having another good 2 doesnt make it a close fight. id like to see a rematch like everyone else with a different referee, but come on, maidana was well beaten in there first fight. maidana built his ko record on fighting fighters who was come forward and robotic. its a good thing for him that guererro pulled out because the result would have been same as the khan and kotelnik fights.
Isn’t it weird how Khan’s nose doubled in size after the Maidana fight?lol Khan seems to be in a hurry to fight Mayweather and retire. Looking to quit boxing with a big payday, huh Khan?lol Coward.
@ unknown ? so now the new excuse is that maidana must bring something to the table like a belt . are you smoking something . ok how did khan get a belt ? that should never have happened he had nuthing to take to the table . is this the new king con excuse .and what do you mean now khan knows what would happen ? same can be said about maidana . so in your mind khan knows what to expect in the ring .. ahhhh thats why hes running from prescott because he knows what would happen .as far as mayweather hes got no chance just trying to be a pacm,an a poor excuse ..
i saw khan slip cortez a 100 dollar bill as he was holding him up when maidana was beating the hell out of him still atleast mccloskey got some balls by fighting prescott and a 34 yr old one eyed morales went toe to toe with maidana thats guts cos all i saw when khantucky fought maidana was him running away most of the fight and looking at cortez to help him everytime chino got close will queen khan rematch maidana no but hopefully if morales beats mathesse he will fight maidana instead of khan and that will ruin khans plans cos he will have 2 blts and so will maidana lol
@ dodcon lol alright I want manny vs floyd guess wat it aint happening u said it will be a hard fight don’t think so now amir knows what will happen boxing fans want so wat I want floyd vs Amir I wanted jmm vs amir how about amir WTF does hd want lol everyone wants amid in uk he could sell 30,000 seats wat can miadana do or offer can not a belt not a payday rem can beat him fair and square and yes I want amir vs midana midana has to offer something like morrales of matthayse will and khan always said after unifies the division wining 3/4 belts or all four belts he would leave and at ww there not Many fighters that could hurt him berto Ortiz maybe kell hate khan though vet arrogant
Khan is a piece of sh…….t
queen khan is not going to fight him again khan knows he lost that fight but he is like his big sister pacquiao them girls run there mouth but dont bag it up
All you rucksack warriors shouting about how much Khan is making!!
well he’ll need to if he’s sending as much money as you lot do over to Afghan !!!
to fund them yellow tossers who hide behind women and children.
Lol thats what all you Khan haters do, Blame the ref for what occured in the 10th round of the fight, first of all you hav no evidence that coretz was paid to help khan in the fight just coz he kept breaking khan and maidana up in the 10th round whenever khan clinched maidana WOW that really means he paid cortez jus to do that dusnt it? Khans fighting for britain so why complain and hate on him, maybe if his eithnicity was different then you wudnt be complaining.
will mcdonald leave it out khan couldnt even get a full minute wiv prescott never mind to the bell in the first round .. only silly khan fans make up silly excuses for thier so called hero having no bottle . look at all the khan fans saying the same opld thing why fight again … plain n simple take away the bought ref joe cortez and we can have a decent fight . same thing happened wiv hatton v mayweather if this dont show you that cortez is a paid ref nuthing will . so u stick wiv yer hero who wants shot fighters that once where great i hope u enjoy the fraud
At least the bell save Maidana on the allotted time of 3 minute!!
but it ain’t like being saved by that bent ref Joe Cortez in tho 10th round is it and ending up with a face like road kill at the end of the fight.
@King Khan:
Amir was very lucky the first time, but you don’t win the lottery every day.
Amir Khan already beat Maidana and the fight wasnt even that close the way ppl are making it out to be, Khan won UD. Maidana only wants the fight again for a big payday from Khan which he wont get out of any other fight. But whats khan going to get out of fighting Maidana? As he said he wants as much belts as he can before he moves up to WW, maybe if Maidana had one of the WBO or WBC then the fight would have went forward. Khan doesnt just want the Interim version of the WBA belt. You also talking about how Maidana almost had Khan at 10th round but Maidana was almost gone the 1st round when he got that lethal body shot until the bell saved him.
Not only balls, CHIN is definitely a problem too.
agreed
good article. queen can can go and fight big names past their prime and fool everyone except for me. that punjab will never get a cent from me.
@ unknown its realy simple ? why should he fight maidana instead of a old morales … because it would be a good fight , it would be a hard fight , boxing fans apart from amirs lovers would pay to see it , the same goes with prescott . both these fights would sell themselfs . look at khan v old morales its a easy fight . but against the other two i wouldnt put no money on it because if i was honest i couldnt pic a winner . it just seems like khan goes for the easy option everytime
ok firstly let’s clear things up ok people say khan wouldve got ko of the ref didn’t stop it every time that’s his job stop illegal punches that miadana was hitting khans backhead and if the ref stopped khan getting lord than the bell saved miadana in the first round and whaht has miadana has to offer to khan khan the WBA version miadana has the interim version not a big payday khan beat him clean so why it doesn’t make sense in a sense if miadana was manny and Amur was khan than yes a rematch does need to happen morales Matthyse the ghost provide something different but I don’t like khan but why should he fight miadana
Matthysse will KO Khan, and this discussion will be over.
its just bin on sky sports khan said he will fight maidana in december but only if he can have joe cortez as ref .or he will fight the winner of prescott v mccloskey .. but only if mccloskey wins
Maidana never gave Ortiz, morales or Kotelnik a rematch, so why the f..k should Khan give Maidana one. Yeh Khan should fight Maidana, but in 2013 when Khan is in his prime.
Why Khan should fight “el-cheato” maidana, Khan would rather fight with someone who got another strap and then move on to mayweather fight. All maidana is doing by these calls is, begging for a rematch. Maidana my son, you better give rematch to Ortiz or Morales? why are you not calling them out?

Can someone tell me what stuff Mr Wacky and Maidana are on? every sensible boxing fan who watched judah get beaten, knows Maiden Maidana stood up in first round after kissing the dirt last time, if they fought again he wont stand up that easily. Also, I’ve never seen a l0ser so c0cky, he was c0cky before the fight, he lost and is still c0cky.
Looking at the number of articles on this website, it seems how popular Khan is, every boxer wants a piece of him, 4 articles only today. He can’t satisfy you all, there is only one Khan!
I got 2 balls.
Srry excuse for a boxing writer!!! you would do better at burger king.
Maidana should rematch with Ortiz & Morales, then he should fight Mathysse
so damn it i guess you consider fighters that ko the oponent by ko after being loosing 6 rounds in score cards a bad fight? if boxing where made of boxers fighting for score cards boxing would be dead already pal we fans like the ko´s. dpont be ignorant and thats exactly what was about to happend with amir queen con he was about to get ko´ed again by maidana if it wasnt cuz of cortez he was all over maidana at every single instance kahn was about to go down and letting the queen con have a break shame on fans that dont recognize the phat their fighters have taken easy fights = easy money thats the roachs camp antics fight bums and get payd no matter how much but you get some cash just look at mayweather hes making more money than pacman in one single fight than what pacman does in 3 how the hell is thta guy the p4p king? is he getting cheated by arum? or the fights dont allow him to sell a good event cuz of the quality of its oponnets?
well why don’t marcos give a rematch to morales if hes so tough kahn didn’t run for most the fight just the last 3 rounds and hed done enough before hand to win easily 7 rounds to 5 or 8 and 4 onwards and upwards not backwards. mackay you joke of a writer give it up your like gilfoid bitter full of hate and you repeat yourself. very boring now write something worthwhile.
Amir khan has improved since than if they fought again it would be the same result. What maidana should do instead is give victor ortiz a rematch after he loses to mayweather if he’s such a tough guy.
And Maidana has no balls to give rematch to Ortiz or Morales!!!!!
What a bum!! Lol
Fact of the matter is that Khan would’ve got beat to a pulp if it wasn’t for Joe Cortez! That’s y I would love to see a rematch… come on queen con… by da way I’m tired of gbp BS…
And you don’t have the balls to give Ortiz a rematch.
i agree, khan shud fight maidana again, it wud be a classic
I’d love to see a rematch. It would be a big pay per view event. It’s a good fight and the money is there,LETS GET IT ON AMIR!!!!
maidana is a bum…if he fights khan again he wouldnt last 5 rounds!!!!
Tell him to get a WW belt then he’s got somethink khan wants That how he will get the rematch
Khan needs to fight Maidana,Prescott,or Bradley before he attempts to fight Mayweather.
Khan opened the subject by talking a out him every chance He gets. Khan could beat the less technical Maidana, but there’s always the possibility of getting KOed if He gets caught, and that truth kills Khan.
Maidana is the real deal even without boxing skills. He has power with huge heart, that’s what Amir Khan is afraid of.
Though Maidana have some good moments, the fight cannot be considered close. Khan won by UD and a rematch will serve no purpose.
I did watch the fight several times and to me it was close. And had the ref not deduct a point, it would have been a draw or close to it on my score card. Khan should rematch Maidana. Fans want that fight more than Khan-Morales anyway. So it’s really about public demand.
With Guerrero out, this does put a little bit of pressure on Khan. He beat Maidan fair and square the first time but it was a close fight and anytime you have an exciting fight that’s competitive, a sequel has to follow. That’s just part of boxing culture. Khan didn’t have a tough fight with Judah at all so he should be in fine shape to fight Maidana. Come on, Khan. Take the fight. You don’t need Morales. He does nothing for your legacy at this point.
Now if you guys really just sit down and watch the fight.And be 100% honest with yourself.You’ll see that Khan won 10 out of 12 rounds.So that makes the fight not close at all.Yea Maidana hurt Khan in the 10 and 12 round but Khan won every other round easily. And i also believe Maidana would have tko Khan if it wasn’t for the ref but life isn’t fair.
khan beat maidana why fight again

Maidana is so right Amir is scared to face him again.
Farm boy wants a payday. He ain’t seen money like the money khan brings ever in his life! You don’t get that kind of money sucking off your horse on yor farm Marcos. But you had your chance you were dropped and lost unanimously…. On to the next one.
Amir Khan unified WBA and IBF world LWW champion!
